Product Information
Nearly every Wednesday, I do this thing on Twitter (and also now on Bluesky) called Buy A Stranger A Book. It's a thing where I buy books for strangers and then lots of other people also join in too for no other reason than because they want to and they can (and they are really lovely).
It's such a great thing to do, because everyone wins!
(If you want to know a bit more about how it all works, The Independent did an article about it a few years ago
HERE
).
Quite often people offer to buy strangers a book when it's not Wednesday or they tell me they're busy on a Wednesday but want to contribute. Also, some people like to remain anonymous on Twitter/Bluesky when they give me money to buy books. And sometimes, there are little projects (like buying books for schools) that I like to use the money for.
So, after a bit of a think, I decided that if I added the opportunity for people to #buyastrangerabook on the website, then it might make some of this easier!
So, here we are!!
You can now buy a stranger a book here and I will then use the money you kindly donated to help out someone who, for whatever reason, can't buy a book themselves.
I also have a small pot of money, which I use for the bigger projects. This money comes from a mixture of donations, my own dosh and 50% of the money I make on The Bookshop Patreon Scheme (which you are more than welcome to join,
HERE
). I can also add some of the money from the sale of these to this pot.
Sometimes, if you buy one of these, you will be sent a small and poorly designed (by me) #buyastrangerabook badge to wear with pride!
If you want your donation to be anonymous, that's cool. If you want to be tagged on Twitter/bluesky, when I offer your donation, that is equally cool (just add your twitter handle in the address and i'll give you a shoutout.
Each of these is £10, but you can buy as many as you like!!!
Thanks for reading this and I hope you like the idea.
