Gift idea: custom bookmarks. Gorgeous small lines of fabric. Layout several different ones for the book lovers in your life. Simple to see and easy to customize.
Choose favourite characters (Hermione Granger), favourite books (I know why the caged bird sings), favourite authors (Toni Morrisson), or be inspired by a genre (sci-fi).
You could of course go for the book jugular:
” Hand Off Jane Is Reading This Book”
loving those ideas! Thanks for sharing
