Fun Gifts for Lovers of Books

How many a man has dated a new era in his life from
the reading of a book. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden


I am a bibliophile! Reading books nurtures my soul. I am not able to imagine life without “written words”. Two years ago, I was asked to join a wonderful book club. These monthly Tuesday nights at book club have been interesting, fascinating, and poignant evenings. The books selected by the charming ladies of the book club are very diverse. We have read books that have such varied subjects as a historical fiction of the south, a person given a second chance, and the disturbing thought of a utopian society. The name of my book club is “Ancora Imparo”. This is Latin for “I am still learning”. Wow, what a ride we are having...and we are still learning!

We should read to give our souls a chance to luxuriate. ~Henry Miller

My sister recently purchased me a Kindle. I treasure my kindle. Yet, I still relish buying books, borrowing and loaning books, and going to the library. Very often, I will loan out my books to friends. Instead of writing my personal information in the books, I use book labels. TmePieces provides two excellent ideas to personalize your books.

He who lends a book is an idiot. He who returns the book
is more of an idiot. ~Arabic Proverb



PSA Self Inking Stamp is a fun and stylish design for all your books and personal correspondence. You can conveniently stamp “from the library of” and your name in all of your books. The stamp size is 1.63" x 1.63" and includes a black ink cartridge providing up to 10,000 impressions. Your “from the library of” signature stamp will remind everyone that this book is from your personal library. Visit www.timepiecesgifts.com for more information and other fun styles.


I also personalized my books with book labels. The bookworm style is a colorful and whimsical rectangle 1.5" x 2” glossy labels. My labels are personalized with my name, email address, city and state. You can also create a signature look by using this design for your return address labels. This is a practical and fun gift for young readers and college students. Call Time Pieces for more information about this line.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends;
they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot
