11 Gift Ideas For Your Book Lover
Today I'm Bobbi

There are many of us out there, the book lovers, the people who absolutely adore books and cannot be in a bookstore for less than three hours. But what do you do when you do not know what to buy your book lover for Christmas? Here are a few things that they will love:

1. Gift cards

Get them a gift card from your local bookstore or from a larger bookstore like Barnes and Noble or Books A Million. (Not Amazon!)

2. Literature Posters

You can find these almost anywhere, just search Google! It's an even better gift if you get your book lover one with a quote of a book they love!

3. Bookish Candles

There are so many scents and colors, all of which I've found on various Etsy sellers. All with fun scents like "Christmas at Hogwarts", "Leather Bound Books", "Enchanted Library", and so many more!

4. Jewelry and Accessories

I can't tell you how many of these wonderful items I have seen and wanted, but I do not wear jewelry so they would just end up being trinkets on a desk. Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, etc. There is so much out there!

5. Clothing

Once again, just search Google and you will get many pages filled with shirts, hoodies, leggings, etc. all of literature-inspired quotes or designs.

6. Other Accessories

Bags, phone and iPad cases, pillows, throw blankets, and so much more! I use Society6 personally for pillows and throw blankets.

7. Journals

Every reader I know has loved getting a journal to be able to write in, even if they are not a huge writer. It is a good go-to item!

8. Bookends

Fishbowls, dancers, animals, there are millions of different bookends out there. One of them has got to be something that your book lover likes!

9. Specialty Journals

Harry Potter coloring books, Wreck This Journal, 642 Things To Write About. All of these are similar to journals, but they have some kind of trick to them. Wreck This Journal you literally wreck the journal. I have so much fun with mine, definitely recommend.

10. Vinyl Figures

A lot of these guys are movie or television related, but some are from books too. The Harry Potter collection is from the books.

11. Bookmarks

These are so simple. Plus you can personalize them, make them by hand, or buy really nice wooden bookmarks.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
