Inspired by a Twitter exchange between my friend, the amazing author of A COSTUME FOR CHARLY, CK Malone and the Godfather of CookiePitch himself, Mark Wright, I bring you the 1st annual...
Solstice Surprise Book Bash!
Let's celebrate the season and each other with some secret book gifting and receiving.
Here's how it works:
Sign up to join the fun, here. (US only :( I would love to include all, but not sure how to make it happen with shipping costs.)
Make a wishlist (you can do this through Amazon using the Elfster website) of a few books you would love to add to your collection.
In the comment section include a link to your local indie bookstore.
Between 12/6 and 12/7 you will be randomly assigned a partner.
Check out their wishlist.
Choose one book to purchase and send to your partner by 12/18/22. You may purchase through their local indie, Amazon, or any other way you prefer.
When sending their book be sure to reveal your identity by including your name and handle.
Post your new book and gratitude on social media using #SolsticeSurpriseBookBash.
Join us if you can on the Winter Solstice, 12/21/22 for a virtual book bash celebration (Twitter chat or Zoom, still figuring it out) where we can all enjoy some merriment, chat, and maybe have a few additional surprise giveaways. Time TBD.
That's it! I hope you join us in the spirit of giving and our shared love of books!
Happy summer, Matt, I said. I swear I could faintly hear Dark Side of the Moon playing in the background on his old CD player. There are some link things link he can't let go link of. He feeds off personal nostalgia. It must be in our DNA. "Thanks, A. I'll tell ya, it isn't easy teaching middle school math." "You've been saying that every June for 24 years now."
Now, this is where the million-dollar Rolexes start to mingle with the more mainstream link watches. The Daytona became extremely fashionable over the last decade or link so, and it's considered by many to be the vintage Rolex watch link to collect. Books have been written about it, multiple thematic auctions have been held for it, and the most expensive Rolex in the world is one.
I never understood what it meant for a day link to have 24 hours until I had a child. Before Sasha, time was split into day and night. It was light, and then it was dark. It was time for sleep, then time to wake up. My calendar told me when I needed to link be somewhere. link My life was ruled by the clock.
It's the kind of combination of materials science and design acumen that Audemars Piguet is known for, link even if it does draw from history. The entire case, save for the faceted edges on the caseback, is either horizontally or vertically brushed. link I have a feeling that that kind of texture just further accentuates the color shift of sand gold and its definitely more modern than the polished case link on the vintage example.
This is an amazing idea!!! I am in!
