I'm a huge fan of GoneReading, a wonderful website that features gifts for readers. On a philanthropic mission, GoneReading donates 100% of their after-tax profits to reading-related charities, and they recently funded a children’s library in Ethiopia, the Gebeta Community Children’s Library.
Thinking about starting my holiday shopping, I browsed through the newly expanded GoneReading site, and found some very cool items for readers. They have book shaped plates and platters that would be perfect for snacks served at book club meetings--or book blogger conventions--or simply as gifts for a favorite reader or two.
GoneReading's floating book shelf caught my eye. Stacked books appear to float in space, striking and surreal.
GoneReading also has a best-selling board game for readers called, “It was a Dark & Stormy Night". To play this game of "first lines", participants listen to the opening line or two of a book, then try to identify its title or author. (Do you know the origin of "It was a dark and stormy night"? I had to visit Wikipedia to refresh my memory.) This game would be a lot of fun to play at gatherings with other book lovers. GoneReading also has a terrific trivia game for the legion of "P. & P." fans.
When you shop at GoneReading, you can save 20% by using the discount code SUKOS20 at the check-out (good until the end of the year). All purchases from GoneReading contribute to their philanthropic work, which helps to increase literacy around the world!Thanks for reading! Comments welcomed.

ReplyDeleteGone Reading is awesome. I can't remember if I mentioned it, but last time you blogged about them, I actually bought a book holder that holds my book open while I'm reading. (I used the Suko code at checkout so thanks!) Those book plates look too cute!

ReplyDeleteThe fact that the proceeds go to a good cause is really nice too.
Have you checked out the literary action figures? They need more of them but they look awesome!
Brian, you're right. I could see adding other literary action figures, perhaps Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf to start. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteSuko & Brian, GoneReading will have more action figures soon! Jane Austen, Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare and more. We're hoping to have them in time for the holidays!
