Holiday Book Drives!

November 19, 2017      Erica Robyn      12 Comments

The Holiday Season is upon us!

I know, I know. I can’t believe it either… I love the holidays but I really wasn’t ready to let Fall go. In New Hampshire, we seemed to go straight from Summer weather to Winter weather, with only a handful of days that truly felt like Fall…

But I digress.

I’m writing today to bring awareness to an annual event that I really love; Holiday Book Drives!

Holiday Book Drives

One of my favorite things about the holidays are all of the book drives that local book stores do! I just can’t help it; I’m a sucker for these types of things!

The other day, I actually went to a bookstore near me just to look to see if the display was set up yet for local Manchester schools. I was so excited to see that it was!

I stood in front of the display for awhile, trying to decide which book I wanted to buy and donate. I finally settled on LEGO Star Wars: A New Hope!

I want to hear from you! 
Do you participate in any book drives around the holidays or throughout the year? I’d love to hear about them!

    I think it's awesome that these types of things are done. I always try to at least donate a book or two during the season. We also buy some Christmas for our local Humane Society this year. They usually have a wishlist on Amazon and I can order directly from them and have it shipped to them.

      Same here! I absolutely love it. And so clever to put them right by the register, so people can impulse donate! 🙂 Oh that sounds awesome! I'll have to keep an eye our for something like that in my area.

    The Project Linus chapter that I work with is doing a holiday book drive at Barnes & Noble; I put off buying some books until the dates of their drive, so I can support them a bit!

    I love book drives! I was teaching before I had kiddos (decided to stay home with them), and book drives really help. Even though I was a teacher, I would still donate books.

    You have a winter? That must be nice. Texas seems to go from hot to warm. I would love to live somewhere that actually had a winter. SNOW! My son has been asking to build a snowman since June.

      Oh that's awesome! And oh, want to trade for a season? 😉 I think snow is pretty, but I absolutely hate having to deal with it; driving in it, shoveling it, the freezing temperatures… lol!

    Weirdly enough these aren't as much of a thing as they used to be in my area… I miss them.

    I don't think I've ever been to a bookstore that was doing a holiday book drive, or maybe I just didn't notice them at the time. This is definitely something I'll have to look out for though because I love giving books as gifts.

    Have a wonderful week. – Katie

    Interesting! I've never seen this in a Canadian bookstore, but it sounds like a lot of fun and great way to give back.

I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!
