Week 3: Write about a charity/nonprofit/community group that works with books and/or literacy.
I am a big fan of box sets. They’re usually quite economically priced and they’re a great way to get someone into a series or author. These are two a few of my faves.
- The Hunger Games Trilogy
by Suzanne Collins – You knew this one was coming. A great trilogy (though the first is still my favorite). Even though it seems like everyone has read this already, a lot of people have not. I know this because I am constantly getting asked if people can borrow my copies. Give them their own set and make everyone happy.
- The Black Dagger Brotherhood box set by JR Ward – When I first started this series my friend and I searched high and low for this box set in stores. Eventually we had to cave and get it from Amazon. Perfect for anyone new to paranormal romance/urban fantasy. I love the Brothers!
- Vampire Academy 1-4 by Richelle Mead – Another great series that you will wish you had a set of after you read the first book.
- For Life Tea Mug – It’s a cliche to say that readers like tea, but they often do. This comes with its own fine mesh tea infuser that fits in the cup – perfect for loose leaf teas. I hate those little infuser balls. My friend has one of these cups and it’s awesome.
- Tea – And of course, some tea to go with your teacup. I am a fan of Teavana, but really, any lovely loose leaf tea will do.
- Nan Lawson – Love Nan’s Etsy shop. She has the cutest prints. I bought myself one of the Piemaker recently. She has lots of other fun prints, including the bookish ones above.
- Ninja bookmarks – Um, ninjas + books = awesome.
