April 23 is a special date for book lovers: It marks World Book Day, a holiday dedicated to authors, illustrators, and readers. To celebrate the event, Airbnb is offering deals on homes that look like they were ripped from the pages of a classic novel.

Throughout Tuesday, April 23, Airbnb's 10 literary-themed getaways are available for $17 per night on select dates in May, June, and July. Many of the homes are already booked up for their discounted dates, but just looking through the list can give you inspiration for your next reading retreat.

In Long Island, New York, there's a 6200 square-foot estate fit for the Great Gatsby himself, complete with a salt water swimming pool. Travelers looking for something more modest can stay in a playful house in Småland, Sweden, the province that inspired the setting of Pippi Longstocking. You'll also find a Charlotte's Web-esque barn house in Maine, and a charming home in Chawton, England, the home village of Pride and Prejudice author Jane Austen.

Some vacation homes in this collection, like The Great Gatsby house, go for around $1000 a night, but others, like the Charlotte's Web and Pippi Longstocking listings, can be booked for less than $100 a night no matter the date. If you can't find a place to satisfy your literary tastes on Airbnb, check out these amazing hotels for book lovers.
