"ALL (the things) I Want For Christmas..."

What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't make a Christmas list full of links I want you to push and stuff I want you to buy so that I'll receive a tiny commission? Girl's gotta eat! But seriously, while I am using affiliate links, I have personally searched for things that I would love to find under the tree, and I'm sure your book lover would feel the same. (Just click the picture to purchase.) 

For the longest time, I was a physical book person ONLY. My tone has changed a little since most ARCs (advanced reader copies) are digital, so my e-reader is necessary, but the added benefit of my Kindle is that I can read in the dark, a necessary benefit when you aren't the only one sleeping in the bed. I've had my share of book lights, but I REALLY like the look of this one, it would be pretty handy just walking around the house, or trying to navigate through a dark room littered with children's toys while seeking to comfort that one crying child. 

And speaking of lights, I have a fondness for the industrial look. Maybe it's because growing up, my handy father built things for our home that was more functional (and cheaper) than fashionable, we even had cable spools for end tables, if only he knew it would someday become trendy. I also love the Victorian, Steampunkishness (totally a word) of the look, a look that is so often captured in many stories that I love to read. 

If we go even farther past industrial and Victorian, we're going to come to an age of candlelight. Nowadays, candles aren't always needed for their light, except for the rare occasion when a blustery day blows out our lights (or a drunk person rams into the pole, it's happened more than once, but I digress). They're more often used for their scent and mood enhancing, whether it be a romantic mood, or more of a hygge type feel you're going for, and these look like they would smell AH-MAZING! Why? They're book themed scents, so if you're forced to read a digital book, or you're missing your favorite indie bookstore, you can light one of these and pretend you're in a room full of musty old tomes. 

When you're in your library, or living room, your bed, whatever your favorite spot may be, you'll want to snuggle up with a bookish pillow and blanket, light those candles, and perhaps take some notes for the next review you will write. You'll need a pen, and why wouldn't you be a little extra and write with a quill? This one is conveniently a ballpoint, for when you've misplaced your inkpot, or you're out and about. Speaking of out and about, you're going to need something to haul all those books in, and keep that money organized for your future book orders, why not do it in style with this library card canvas tote and matching coin purse? 

No matter what gift you choose, or decide to buy for yourself, I guarantee that whoever is receiving these treasures will be ever so grateful, I know I would be delighted! 

​Happy Shopping!
