I love getting books that I don’t know what to make of. And luckily, so does most of my family. Personally enjoyed recommendations? The more the merrier!

I have a huge book collection, so I always love to get book ends. I think they’re great for all readers and there are so many different options out there!

The board game, It Was a Dark and Stormy Night, is in stock and you can get it at Amazon (with free shipping.)

My novel, THE END OF SUMMER, is a good read. It is about a teenager and little old lady returning back to Iowa on a bus, and relating to each other their turbulent pasts. Amber, a teen runaway and recovering alcoholic reuniting with her parents, and Viv a little old lady, former WWII army nurse, who is being shipped out to pasture by her children. The two bond and this makes for an interesting story about the young and old in our society.

This novel is reduced in price on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com, since it is two years old already. And would make the perfect Christmas gift for those who love to read exciting, intelligent, and inspirational stories. And this author wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and best of luck for the coming year.

Almost too easy.

Go to http://www.etsy.com
Write on the search mechanism: literary art.
The result will the thousands of items, mostly not expensive, hand-made, that will make you look very savvy and avant-garde. Really.

I love the book-reading preparedness kit. Put together a cozy basket of hot chocolate and teas and wine and snacks like cheese and crackers and wool socks and whatever else you can think of. Get as creative as you want and suit to your audience, er, recipient.

I love giving books to people and I don’t usually feel too nervous about it. I generally know my friends’ and family’s tastes, and if I want to give them a book I haven’t read, I just include the caveat, “I thought you might like this because of ____.” There’s an obvious reason or research behind it. I guess that wouldn’t work for more acquaintance-level gift recipients, though.

I like the Postertext option, and the game could be fun, but a lot of those items are a little too kitschy for my taste (although I can imagine they would appeal to lots of people).

Similar to that and the wallpaper but on a smaller scale–apparently a lot of people on Etsy are selling old book pages decorated with stamps or other art in frames, and they’re selling well.

Also, I freaking love book boxes. And I made a pretty hardbound notebook into a case for my Kindle, and the same thing could be done with a vintage book.

This is so cute! I put together a little list of literary gift-giving options (specifically for writers, but it’s a general list) on my own blog: http://bloggingforya.blogspot.com/2011/12/15-gifts-for-writer-in-your-life.html

I think my favorite is the illustrated book sculpture available on Etsy. So amazingly gorgeous.
