      What a fun selection of books! My kids love to listen to me read book to them before bed so they’d love this. They would also make great Christmas gifts!

      I buy books all year round and hand them out for halloween with candy and in my kids stockings. They love it when I throw a “cool” book in there bag or stocking. The star wars books are great in our house. Definitely Wookiee Pies, Clone Scones, and Other Galactic Goodies would be one to give out.

      I love the idea of the #GiveBooks campaign. I am constantly trying to find new books to instill a love of reading in my students. This will be a great way to do that!

      #GiveBooks is awesome. I give books in addition to whatever is asked for on the Christmas giving tree at church. I think it is a nice surprise!

      I always give books, birthday, holidays, my friends and relatives can count on me to find a good book for them. I don’t always get it right, but I try. Thanks for this!

      I always give books as gifts 🙂 I just saw a fantastic idea to do 25 days of books where you give a stack of 25 individually wrapped books to someone and they open one book a day every day from December 1st-25th 🙂 I may be doing that this year!

      I have always been the “book giver” in our family….mostly because it is the gift I most enjoy receiving. Any of the books from the Ivy and Bean series make amazing gifts.

      I love encouraging and seeing kids with books in their hands, so I find giving books as gifts is a wonderful idea. Book giving is terrific,as Tony the tiger would say.

      What a wonderful way to encourage reading. I am trying hard to help my son catch the reading bug. These look like some great books!

      We love books to read and to look through in our home. From fairies to Froto, from Sedaris to boring technical stuff, we are reading it! Happy holidays!

      No one person can have too many books, books open the mind, books teach us, books enlighten us, I love books and to read and I am constantly encouraging my grand daughters to do the same

      This holiday season, the greatest gifts you can give a child is a sense of belonging and the gift of loving to read. Books can take you anywhere!

      #GiveBooks is a great message. I always always give books to children/teens. They last longer than any other gift I can think of and have a lasting impact.

      As a bookseller I am constantly suggesting books, but one I always try to make sure I suggest for kids is Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events”. I grew up reading them, and am now mildly obsessed.

      I always give books as gifts for every occasion. I feel very strongly that it is important to encourge reading for all ages. There is nothing better than getting lost in a good book!

      I always give books to my children, grandchildren, and other relatives for birthdays as well as Christmas. They would be suspicious if I didn’t!
