It should come as no surprise that here at The Walleye, we love a good book. On March 6, we celebrate World Book Day: a time for avid readers, writers, and bookworms alike to come together in an appreciation of the written word.

Or what if you just don’t buy into any Valentine’s Day hype? Well, my friend, do we have one hell of a show for you!
