a mystery book gift
we're curating a selection of mystery book gifts for the holidays! buy a new read for yourself, or give a gift to a friend. we've only packaged a limited number of books, so don't delay!
what you'll receive with this gift:
- one gift-wrapped paperback or hardcover in the genre of your choice
- brown-paper gift packaging
each mystery book is wholly unique, and we will be offering a range of writers and genres this season. here's what you might be able to expect:
- literary fiction & classics: writers like yoko ogawa, junot diaz, j. m. coetzee, to name a few.
- mysteries & thrillers: escapism at its best—adventures that you can fall into ranging from espionage, crime, and dystopian stories.
- nonfiction mix: a selection dealing with topics in history, memoirs, and business. (we're avoiding pop authors, to bring a little spice to your shelf).
- surprise me!: books and novels that have been added on our personal to-read lists after receiving them in as donation—perhaps more eclectic and less well-known but look to be riveting, and well-written.
