Happy Friday,
Weâre down to the final days before Christmas, and our house is a hub of gift shipping and receiving. If youâre looking for a quick and easy last-minute gift for the book lover on your list, you might consider a Bookshop.org gift card. Bookshop.org is an e-commerce site built to support independent bookshops, publishers, and this newsletter. You can read more about the website here.
Bidwell Hollow gets a small amount of money any time you buy something on Bookshop.org after clicking a link in this email, including gift cards. That money helps pay the writers who produce stories for this newsletter.
Itâs been a challenging year for many of us, and Christmas 2020 is certainly going to be different. If you need a quick-and-easy gift for a reader in your life, think about giving a Bookshop.org gift card. The gift recipient, and your fellow Bidwell Hollow readers, thank you.
Thanks for reading,
Nick
Did you catch our interview with Ellen Birkett Morris? Sheâs the debut author of Lost Girls, a story collection that novelist Jenny Offill calls, âa dazzling collection of stories.â
