Howdy Bookworms!
As you know, I’m a sucker for bookish swag. I work nerdy bookish accessories into my life and wardrobe like it’s my job, y’all. Lucky for me, there are some amazingly cool sites out there like Gone Reading. I LOVE Gone Reading, you guys. They have a ton of cool stuff AND they donate all their profits to charities that promote literacy initiatives in the developing world. There goes all your guilt about “wasting” money on “non-essential” items. IT’S FOR CHARITY!
Brad at Gone Reading contacted me recently to see if I’d like to host a giveaway for my readers and/or review a product. Because they are AMAZING, I am now the proud owner of five literary finger puppets (a video puppet show is in the works, my pretties. I wanted to have it done by now, but you simply cannot rush the creative process… Or the husband who happens to double as your camera man.) In any case, I’ve for a $40 gift certificate to give away to one of YOU to shop at Gone Reading and buy yourself some sweet bookish stuff. Enter below!
Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, and my man Willy Shakes. He asked me to call him that.

Rafflecopter…pick me!!!!

I kind of want to buy everything on this website… but I feel like I really need the Shakespeare chapstick (because I have a chapstick obsession and feeding my addiction is important to me!), and then the Magnetic Dress Up Shakespeare. The dress up Shakespeare will go well with the Shakespeare Magnetic Poetry I already have at my house…. although those book shaped platters are pretty awesome too….
Beth @ Beta Librarian
I love all the lovely things on this website. In fact, I’ve already gotten some use out of those bookmarks. So helpful when I am not close to a computer but just have to jot down an author’s incredible phrasing.

Adorable! And I can’t wait for your finger puppet video!

I’d buy the Take Me To Your Reader t-shirt. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love those finger puppets – how awesome! I think I would have to go for the finger puppets 🙂

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this site before. Thanks for introducing it to me! I already see a few great gifts for my friends…and a few “happy unbirthday to me” gifts. 😉

What a sweet giveaway! Awesome, thanks 🙂
kristin @ my little heart melodies
Oh! Sorry I missed the “what would you buy” question. I like the “Bite Me” bookmark… probably some new bookmarks or a game!

I have a birthday coming up, so I can totally justify spending money at Gone Reading…. totally
Carl
If I won I’d give it to my wife for her birthday in April. She reads even more than I do and loves to shop at online stores like Gone Reading. Thanks
Loralie
What a cool website! I have to say that I am drawn to the Edgar Allan Poe bobblehead……
Akilah
I want that Poe lunchbox. No, I need that Poe lunchbox.
Monika @ Lovely Bookshelf
I’m pretty sure I’d buy some of those finger puppets. Not that I need an excuse why, but you know, homeschool. C would love them! 😉
Can’t wait for the video!
Heather @ Capricious Reader
Mildred, what have I told you about toys? YOU NEED TO SHARE THEM.
Stacie Gorkow @SincerelyStacie
I love the book-shaped plates!
Ciska @ Ciska's Book Chest
I get grabby hands on that site. I would probably get bookmarks. Maybe a light. Sorry have to go back shopping!!

I love their journals – would definitely have to pick one out. Also, I would have to get the LitWit Trivia Deck. Great site!
Thanks for the giveaway!
guiltless reading
I double checked that they send to Canada. I have my eye on quite a few things — I like their journals but may just spring for the Bamboo Bathtub Caddy just because it’s “practical” 😉
Jenny @ Reading the End
Ahahahaha, that’s an amazing site! And I support your selection of the Oscar Wilde finger puppet. Not that I am obsessed with Oscar Wilde, but I do own an Oscar Wilde finger puppet, an Oscar Wilde action figure, and a stuffed plush Oscar Wilde doll. Those are all things I currently own. People GAVE them to me. I did not BUY them.
Jenny @ Reading the End
Oh, oo, I didn’t say what I would get with my winnings. Probably book plates! I haven’t had any new book plates in quite a while!
Katie @ Doing Dewey
How fun! I’m most excited about the Jane Austen coffee mug 🙂
Ashley
Oooh…I used to play library when I was kid (and still love lending out books to friends) so the personal library kit is really appealing to me!
Megan M.
Dashboard Shakespeare, of course. My car needs some lit cred.
Words For Worms
Pimp your ride, Bard style. I like it!
Jennine G.
Asking someone what they’d buy is like asking their favorite book of all time! This will take some time 🙂
Quirky Chrissy
OMG. I want the bathtub book and wine holder!
Heather B
Ahhh I can’t even choose! I think I would have to choose something for my dear friend that is hosting a book themed wedding this summer!
Elizabeth
The book text posters are amazing! I have the perfect spot for the Pride and Prejudice one in my office. The Library Candles are cool, and the Jane Austen temporary tattoos are hilarious…I want everything.
Allison @ The Book Wheel
I love, love, love GoneReading! They are pretty much my favorite people on the planet. I am the proud owner of the bath caddy 🙂
Meghan
I love book swag! I would definitely grab myself some fun things!
Darlene R.
So many things! I would pick the Evolution of Reading shirt! Sop cool!
Michele
I would get the Alice in Wonderland finger puppets!
