Quirk Books Gets Hillary Clinton All Dolled Up

     Leave a Comment

We don’t usually get political on the blog, but when Quirk Books told me about their Hillary Clinton paper doll book I couldn’t resist. This book is so fun and would be the perfect gift for your political junkie friends or family. This book includes everything from White House Ghosts to Hillary’s Republican foes and even a sax playing Bill Clinton. And Oprah. Oprah.

Quirk asked us to create a scene and caption using the dolls and here is what I came up with. 

I decided to put together a little White House book club with the queen of book clubs, Oprah Winfrey.



*Thank you Quirk Books for sending this our way!

The inside of this box was so festive ! It was filled with colorful confetti and lots of postcards for upcoming adult and NA books. There was also some candy and a little pumpkin stress ball.

     Leave a Comment

Better World Books is like the Toms of the book world. With every used book you purchase a book is donated to someone in need. When I first heard about Better World Books I was a little hesitant because I didn’t know what shape the books would be in but they are usually pretty good.

These were all on sale ! The deal was for  40% off 5 or more of the bargain bin books. While I meant to do the minimum of 5…I ended up…. with 11
