The book reminds me of joy when I am depressed. It reminds me that school's important when I don't want to be at school. Let's just say my head was ticking, my mouth was not tocking." --Sixth grader S. from MI Thanks to your efforts, fully one-third of the 500,000 books distributed each April 23 go to students at underfunded middle and high-schools.

Welcome in the Holiday Season!

Welcome in the Holiday Season with wonderful gifts for Book Lovers on your gift list.  The Things You Can Read will be spotlighting unique finds with a  Book connection!  Today's gift idea is Wearable Literature from Storiart.  They describe themselves as: 

Creators of the original Book Scarf™! Show off your great taste in books with our 100% American-made items. 

Here is a sample of their ever popular Pride and Prejudice scarf:

I worked with them on a custom order for my very own To Kill a Mockingbird scarf and gloves.  Below you can see two views of the proof I was sent before my order went into production.  One has the title and author one does not.  I went with including the title and author.  My order is on the way, so I will update you when it arrives.  I will warn you, if you go with a Custom Order narrowing down the text is the hardest part. I found that my favorite book had so many great passages, that even as large as the infinity scarf is, it just could not hold everything I wanted to include.

Check Storiart out soon because US Customers should purchase by December 9th in order to receive items by Christmas.  Let us here at The Things You Can Read know what you think of this wearable gift idea.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Not Just A Book

To Kill a Mockingbird
NECKLACE


To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was instantly successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on the author's observations of her family and neighbors, as well as on an event that occurred near her hometown in 1936, when she was 10 years old-Wikipedia

Annette Blazon

I created this Necklace with a vintage image of the book cover from "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, an image of Harper Lee, a vintage typewriter with a line (It's a Sin to Kill a Mockingbird) from the book on it's paper, a wood replica typewriter key and silver tone metal charms. The first picture is the front of the charms and the second picture shows the backs. The charms dangle from a 22" silver plated textured metal link chain-Designs By Annette

 

 

Annette Blazon is wonderful to deal with and she does custom orders, so if you have a favorite book and would like to accessorize your wardrobe with some book bling just contact her and she will work to take your book from cover to necklace.  The necklace pictured is my custom order of her To Kill a Mockingbird necklace.  I can't wait to wear my new book bling to school and see who notices.  Oh, and by the way she designs earrings as well. 

What do you think of my new Book Bling.  Let me know here at The Things You Can Read.  I'm already thinking about what my next necklace will be.  Maybe Atlas Shrugged!  Don't forget to checkout Annette Blazon's Etsy shop-Designs By Annette

Happy reading to all! ☮
