With the December holidays put to bed for another eleven months, we’re in the middle os the first of the year’s four scheduled Buy A Friend A Book Week.
Set for the first full week in the months of January, April, July, and October, the premise is very simple–just gift someone with the present of a book that you want them to have “just because.” No special reason, like a birthday, anniversary, or anything noted down; merely surprise someone you know with a book that you enjoy and give it to them–that’s all.
Started by Debra Hamel, the result of a post-midnight brainstorm, it’s grown to be a popular “non-holiday” among bibliophiles and others to bestow the gift of words. You still have time to get in on the fun!
