What are you reading today?

It's an endlessly interesting conversation-starter, and we'd like to record your answers on a Flickr gallery

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2012/jan/27/what-are-you-reading-today

What are you reading? is often the start of a great conversation. We swap book recommendations and write about the books we've just readon the site, but now we'd like to invite you to answer the question in pictures – don't tell us, show us.
To do this we have started a Flickr group called What are you reading today? where we invite you to upload your photos and share with us what you are reading. You can post up to seven photos a week in the group, so if you like, you can share what you are reading every day and use it a bit like a visual book diary. This is an experiment so it's up to you which way it goes and what it turns into, but it might be a great way of getting a moving picture of what books are proving the most popular with readers.

The photo can be a picture of you reading your book or just a snap of the cover. As long as we can see the title, we don't mind. And, as library goers across the UK mark Libraries Day on 4 February, this seems the be the perfect moment to show your support for your library by posting a picture of the book you've just borrowed.

If you have any questions, or any problems uploading your photos to the group, please let me know in the thread below. If you're on Twitter you are also welcome to tweet us your photos @guardianbooks.
