About this deal

So these two trailblazers created their own. Now you can share in the excitement of opening a box crammed with brand new literature and merchandise celebrating queer pairs (of all sorts!). Book boxes for literary littluns Book subscription boxes are every book lover’s dream. Yes, that includes you — because whatever your reading needs and desires may be, there’s a subscription service out there that will match them perfectly! What’s in each box? A new young adult novel, collectible button and magazine, bookish goodies from small businesses, artists, and publishers.

Our world is hardly a simple place to navigate, even (and often especially) for kids. It’s huge, diverse, and filled with people who all experience life in different ways, facing different obstacles. The Equal Opportunity Book Box is all about preparing children to live in this bright, colorful world by sharing with them fun, engaging picture books about diversity. Whether they feature characters of color, LGBTQIA+ characters, and/or characters with disabilities, the picture books in this box will hugely help you in your quest to raise kind, open-minded kids. 32. Bookroo In either case, children’s book boxes can be a terrific way to inspire kids to read, or keep reading, while also introducing new titles. I like to keep my to-read pile on my nightstand and carry a book with me throughout the day—this helps me keep up with my reading goals. You never know when you’ll have a few spare moments to read!Kayti Christian (she/her) is a Senior Editor at The Good Trade. She has a Master’s in Nonfiction Writing from the University of London and is the creator of Feelings Not Aside , a newsletter for sensitive people. If you’re searching for book ideas to get started with creative writing, there’s no better place to start than with Reedsy’s plot generator. It asks only that you choose your genre, then randomly supplies a protagonist, a secondary character, a plot, and a twist! For example, if you generate a plot for a romance novel, it might look something like this: In addition to displaying books around your home, you can also create a “to-read” pile, which will include the books you’re currently reading or the ones next up on your list.

While it might look lovely, I promise you, it will be impossible to find a book… I once spent weeks searching for a book that I was convinced had an orange spine, only to discover it was navy blue all along!” If you wanted to get something off your chest or initiate a conversation with a stranger, but you didn’t have the courage, then put it to paper and see where your imagination takes you — hopefully to your next book idea! A magical realism novel about someone who gradually learns that they can do incredible things. Inspired by How I held my breath for seventeen minutes (David Blaine). Alternately, Sharifah Williams, Managing Editor of Book Riot, embraces a more fluid organization process that is always up for reinvention: “Most recently, my nonfiction, fiction, cooking, and comic books were separated, and then sorted by size. But with an upcoming move, I anticipate (with the extra level excitement of a bookworm) yet another reorganization.” A comic novel about a chronic procrastinator who realizes he’s letting life pass him by. Inspired by Inside the mind of a master procrastinator (Tim Urban).A thriller that follows a psychopathic liar and the detective trying to figure him out. Inspired by How to spot a liar (Pamela Meyer). An adventure story about a group of drifters looking for the cup of eternal youth (Nine of Cups). The group falls apart (Five of Swords), and there’s great betrayal and loss (Ten of Swords). Each week, five nuggets of inspiration are delivered straight to your inbox. If a prompt takes your fancy, you have a week to write a short story, which you then pass under the noses of your fellow authors and Reedsy’s panel of judges. So not only are you getting your creative juices flowing, but you’re also taking those ideas for a test run with a ready-made pool of beta readers. Some people want their book subscription boxes to keep them up-to-date with the hottest new releases; others are looking for a way to discover great books that would’ve otherwise passed them by. If you’re part of the second camp, then Used Books Monthly could be the way to go. Every thirty days, a surprise bundle of gently used books (in the genre of your choice) will arrive at your door, helping you to grow an affordable library of undiscovered gems. Plus you’ll be content in the knowledge that your twice-loved library is doing its bit for the planet. 3. Bookcase.Club Add a fictional twist to your journaling and look at it as a form of narrative storytelling rather than a laundry list of events. This will make it much easier to find inspiration in the mundane.

Thankfully, I was able to speak with four industry experts who offered me a novel’s worth of tips (as only expected). Read on for practical advice on curating your own home library, as well as a few unexpected tips!

She has been named by the US Department of Education to serve on the National Assessment Governing Board. She is associate director of the California Reading and Literature Project at UCLA. What’s in each box? A newly released hardcover book & related goodies to stimulate all five senses.

For Williams, her books “tend to be well worn, usually dog-eared and graced with coffee stains”—which is honestly much more my speed. Some of my favorite books are filled with notes and highlighter markings from book clubs and graduate school. However works best!
