Ooh…. I am a little later than usual. I am trying to break a habit of getting up and on non office days (like today) not hanging out on the computer for the first three hours of my day and then rushing to get everything done that I have procrastinated on. One of the big things for me is my workout. I take a Group Power Class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It is weight lifting to great music and I love the class. On Mondays they offer is at 8:15 am, and at 12:15 pm. I am trying to break breaking the habit of going to the noon class and getting back on track with the 8:15 am one.
So – that was my delay this morning. Now I am back and with Coffee Cup, I wanted to share this morning what I think are great Christmas Gifts for the bookish people on that list. Here are some things that I think are super fab….
For that someone who is a game board junky this is a fun twist on Monolopy called Bookopoly! With thngs to buy and fun facts about books and authors – oh, I am excited just talking about it!
Yup – Trivial Pursuit Book Edition is another win for the book lover!
Like to have something to keep track of all those book recommendations so next time you do to the book store or library you are not fumbling with, “now what was that title again?” This great little binded book inspired by library check out cards is just what the book lover ordered!
Love this (in fact after I seen it I had to order it!) Areas to jot down notes, record meeting dates, member contact info, book rating stickers and more! Oh man… I really like this one!
Love this banned books bracelet!
A great start for the pre teen reader is your life… book suggestions, invitations, book marks and even an online component!
I have heard good things about this reference book on how to write good reviews.
For discerning bibliophiles and readers who enjoy unforgettable classic literature, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die is a trove of reviews covering a century of memorable writing.
Any other suggestions? Sometime in the next week I will do book titles that would make great gifts so save those ideas for then….
Book Journey 
I’m going to forward your post to my friends and family who don’t know what to get me for Christmas!
Oh, whoops, it’s supposed to be about giving, not receiving gifts.
Great ideas, though. Wow. What fun stuff.
(P.S. I really, really, really want a Kindle and if I don’t get one for Christmas, I’m going to buy it for myself.)
LOL Lynne! Looking for the suggestions this morning was like shopping. 🙂 The jury is still out for me on Kindle or Sony or…. I:)
“…hanging out on the computer for the first three hours of my day and then rushing to get everything done that I have procrastinated on.”
And here I was thinking that was a normal way of life…lol.
🙂 Oh I think I still get the three hours online in…. just not right away in the am…. LOL I suppose I am not breaking a habit really if I am just moving it to another time slot…..
Oh. My. Goodness! That is some fabulous stuff. I love the bracelets and the Book Club Journal most. Makes me wish I was part of a book club.
Hi Petunia – the bracelet really rocks… I have had my eye on it since Banned Books Week.
I love board games, but unlike my husband, I’m not a fan of Monopoly/Monopoly style games. That was until I saw this post. Now I have to get a Bookopoly!!
I am curious about Bookopoly Vicki. If you get it let me know what you think of it. 🙂
I’ve actually got a few of these things on my Amazon wishlist. I really love the Bookopoly!! I might just have to buy it for myself for my upcoming birthday! 🙂
Julie J – me too! A few of these things I hope to pick up after Christmas.
How come you always get me to spend money-I just bought myself Read, Remember Recommend, something I found out from you. I saw your review on Amazon. lol
Oh good Esme! You read a review I have on Amazon! AND you bought a book….LOL 🙂
You know what, looking at these I have this urge to buy them all for myself 🙂 Book Club book.. I want one 🙂
I really want both of those games because I love to read and I love board games but I’m the only reader in my family 😦
I need some artwork that have books in it though…
Thats the way it is for me too Ladytink…. I would love the games but who would I play them with?
Love this list! I actually have the Banned Books bracelet and I love it! And I’ve given a copy of “1001 Books To Read Before You Die” to all of the booklovers on my list over the years.
Would love the board games, but have no one to play them with. 😦
Alexia that is so cool that you have the bracelet! Maybe we need to all go to BEA in 2010 and meet up and play the board games! 🙂
I have both of the banned book bracelets and love them! Plus I get tons of compliments, which is another added bonus. 🙂
