Bookish Gift Ideas

My not so subtle way of hinting the launch of a new section: Bookish

Hello, Gorgeous!

Here are two things you may or may not know about me:

1. I seem to collect nicknames the way Imelda Marcos once collected shoes.

2. I was once nicknamed The Librarian. I’ll still answer to it on occasion.

As you may have surmised based on the above, I love books and (nearly) anything book related.

In the coming months, Hello Gorgeous! will launch a new and ongoing section called Bookish with books you should know about, interviews with authors, and gift ideas for readers/authors.

Here are some fun and fantastic book and library related gifties I have my eye on.

Out of Print has a delightful collection of gifts and everyday must-haves for readers and book lovers.

While these are my absolute faves, I go weak at the knees for the Nancy Drew merch and some of the beautifully illustrated items, including Anne of Green Gables and The Secret Garden.

• The Library Stamp t-shirt brings to mind a more innocent time when we actually had to head into a library to renew books. I was never any good at that, oh, by the way. ($32, outofprint.com).

• The supremely brilliant Fine, Make Me Your Villain t-shirt features a quote from Shadow and Bone by YA author Leigh Bardugo ($32, outofprint.com).

• And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one jonesing after this Composition Notebook tote ($22, outofprint.com).

So, which of these are you faves? Let’s meet in the comment section to discuss!
