Pinch Punch first of the month .... it's the 1st of November which means there are only 8 weeks until the yuletide celebrations!

As a result, we decided to recommend 30 gifts for the book lover in your life (even if that book lover is YOU!).

All our recommendations come from our own bookshelves, or our book wishlists.

Look out on our socials for the first of 30 later today !

We've got three fiction picks for #WriterCrushWednesday today! 🔔🔔🔔🔔 1️⃣From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Kazuo Ishiguro comes a suspenseful and moving novel about the meaning of humanity and the impact of the past. In Never Let Me Go, three students look back on their time at an isolated boarding school where they were sheltered from the world, only to discover dark disturbing secrets that cause the reader to confront questions of morality and ethics. 2️⃣Her Body and Other Parties is a stunning debut short story collection by Carmen Maria Machado. These eight short stories focus on a variety of topics, from queer womanhood to violence against women. The author's wry humor and incredible grasp of language makes it obvious why it was selected as a National Book Award finalist. 3️⃣The Fool by Christopher Moore was selected by our staff in the Rare Book Room for its bawdy, brilliant, and fast-paced style. Moore takes Shakespeare's King Lear and twists it up into an incredible farcical retelling--but it's much more than just that. •• #wcw #giftidea #giftideas #writercrush #bookgift #bookrecommendation #kazuoishiguro #nobelprize (at Strand Book Store)
