A Perfect Gift for Book Lovers
Book Buddies: Don't Talk to Me While I'm Reading is a beautifully illustrated celebration of all things bookworm--from the sweet to the snarky, including puns, inspirational quotes, trivia, and other delights. A playful illustration of an owl in a library representing "KnOWLedge is power" has an accompanying bookmark that says, "Owl Be Here for You." Another spread includes some of the best first lines in novels, from "Call me Ishmael" to "It was a dark and stormy night," with an accompanying bookmark that tells readers, "Don't judge a book by its cover--it's what's inside that counts." Also included are a page describing that feeling when you miss your subway stop because you have your nose in a book, you're late because you were finishing a chapter, and you don't know where the day went because you spent all of it reading, as well as the pros and cons of reading, book trivia, and a listing of some of the world's greatest indie bookstores, all accompanied by beautifully illustrated art.
Don't Talk to Me While I'm Reading, with 25 tear-out bookmarks, is sure to delight book lovers everywhere.
