The Perfect Gift for a Book Nerd

What is the best gift for a book nerd like me? Well, the picture above says it all. I cannot possibly think of what better present I would like to have than a couple of books and an iTunes card so I can download an awesome reading time playlist. I will often put my headphones in and play some music so that I can drift off into whatever world the book's characters live in. My boyfriend knows me well. I have already read Stephen King's On Writing, but this is the perfect gift because I will read this book over and over again (and he knew this from the many times I said, "I wish I had that book."). The way Stephen King writes about his craft is captivating. I am in the process of reading Cathching Fire by Suzanne Collins, which is the other book he gave me for this special occasion. I believe I could read these books over and over again as well. I wish more people thought of books for gifts. I know I have tons of books on my wishlist. What books are on your wishlist? What songs are on your reading time playlist?

  3. Books on my stand are many, mostly for review! As for writing books, I am reading "What if?"..I am reading it slow, because I want to experiment with what it talks about, absorb well and then move forward.

    As for playlists, I LOVE music! But..while reading/writing, I like my peace and quiet. Interesting to know about you, though!:)

    1. Thank you for commenting! I have moments when I need a bit of quiet time, but mostly I have to have my music. :) Some music can be distracting. One of my playlists consists of Beethoven and an album called Rockfluence (rock songs turned into beautiful piano compositions).
