This is the first time in months that I was able to do a lot of reading for

Okay...the video could use a little professionalism but we get the point. I've never even thought of handing out books instead of candy on Halloween, but it's a great idea. My niece recently had her baby shower and on the invitations she requested everyone buying Baby Mason a Golden Book for his library she's building. Wonderful idea. I love receiving books for gifts or at least a gift card to a local bookstore on online bookstore.
ReplyDeleteOver at Neil's blog, he admits that he and a group of friends did this during a five minute break during rehearsals for a production.
ReplyDeleteI still love the idea though! And Neil has written some great scary kids books. I read The Graveyard Book to my son the Halloween it came out.

ReplyDeleteI'll definitely have to check it out. Well then, for only a five minute break, pretty good :) Still, I totally believe it's a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing. (Sorry about the "removed"...I had a couple of really bad typos...lol.)
