Fun Bookish Things to Buy on Amazon This Holiday Season

The holidays can be a time of cheer and merriment for many, but the season's greetings can be trampled rather quickly when forced to wade through an anxious crowd of shoppers all trying to score the best sales. That’s why many turn to online shopping. Between Black Friday (more like grey Thursday), Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, many stores will be vying to grab your holiday bonus as you shop for your friends and family.
