A Reading Revisited Bookish Gift Guide
In which we give your Black Friday shopping a literary flavor
Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.
Happy Black Friday,
Today is the day where we are pressured to buy all the things. If you are the best among us then you probably don’t need to buy anything today. However, if you are among us mortals and need to give in to some of the consumeristic advertising, here are some literary gift ideas to indulge in. Enjoy!
Books
For those who need some extra encouragement to pick up a book…
For those who need to ease into the literary life…
For those who need some home-life encouragement…
Notebooks
For those who want the best…..
For those whose budget is a little smaller and like the flexible cover…
Pencils/Pens
For those who haven’t found the perfect pencil yet…
For those who also need a pen sometimes…
Other Book Paraphernalia
For those who never have a pen/pencil when they need it…
For those who get books from the library and can’t write in them…
For those who forget their book darts in other books and can never find them…
For those who feel tempted to dog ear pages (“Book abuse!” says Kelsie, “Guilty,” says Jessica)…
Things to help you be able to read more
For those who rather spend their vacuuming/sweeping time with a book book instead…
For reading in the dark…
Or even better…
And to make it feel like a real book (and make it prettier)…
For those who need to read while doing other household tasks…
For those who are ready to embrace the audiobook life…
Or at a lower price point…
For those who can’t keep their coffee warm enough for more than a few pages…
