Really Random Tuesday #89: A Book Winner and Literary Coffee Mugs

 


Please help me to congratulate Carl Scott, the winner of Humbled by the Journey: Life Lessons for My Family... and Yours by Miguel "Mike" Benito Fernandez (with Martin Merzer), or Mike Fernandez.  Congratulations, Carl!  Next month, I will post my full review of this memoir, which I spotlighted earlier this month.   

Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway for Humbled by the Journey.  If you didn't win this time, please take a look at the other giveaways listed on my blog.  You may find other books you're interested in.

Book Shaped Saucer & Stackable Cup


Are you having a snow day?  Many parts of the United States are getting some heavy snow right now.  Please stay safe, and if necessary, stay indoors (and read!).  I live in CA, so we're having our usual, lovely weather, 63º and sunny, but I'm a big coffee drinker in the cool mornings here.  Regardless of the weather, though, winter is a good time to enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea. Why not treat yourself, or another book lover, to one of these clever literary mugs from GoneReading.com, a fantastic online shop?  These mugs are reasonably priced ($11.99 - $12.95), and all of the after-tax profits go to help fund libraries and reading programs around the world!  And, if you order before the end of February, input the code SUKOS15 to get 15% off any non-clearance merchandise!

Banned Books Mug

Which one is your favorite?  I've featured just a few here, but there are many other literary mugs available, as well as numerous other fun items for book lovers.  I'm a huge fan of GoneReading!

  2. Yay! Thanks Suko, I'm very pleased to have won. I like the mugs too. I'm a big banned books fan so that's got to be my favorite.

  3. Congrats to your winner, Carl Scott. I like these mugs. Our book club usually has an apporox. $10 gift that this would suit. It is so early though for the next holiday season, but I will check back. I hope you have them again ahead of the holiday. We only had a dusting here in Va.

    We had 2 feet of snow come down yesterday! I am on Long Island New Your and that is a lot for us!

    I love those mugs and looking at them has convinced me to get some kind of literary mug!

  5. Congrats to the book winner :)

    We have been having snow and icy weather here, I'm so ready for the warmer weather. 63 and sunny sounds like a dream!
    I too enjoy my morning cup of coffee, I like that First Lines of Literature Mug!
    I'll have to keep those in mind. I ordered once from them, through your blog, it was for a set of book page holders. I'll have to try and remember to post a pic some time.
    Happy week!
