Guest Post: Lar of Asian Cajuns

Gifts for Your Favorite Bookworm

Hi Owl's Closet Readers! This is Lar from AsianCajuns (one half of the Chinese and Cajun duo that writes the AsianCajun blog). The lovely AB asked us to post on something holiday related, and I stumbled across these items just in the nick of time: last minute prezies for your literary friends.

Cath (my twin and other AsianCajun) and I are both big fat book worms. So in essence, the items in this post allow me to online shop for myself while dropping big hints to those who know me (wink, wink). But I do hope it gives you guys some last minute ideas for gifting too.

I loooove these book tees and sweatshirts by Out of Print. Like most young ladies, we can't pass up good Pride and Prejudice paraphernalia. But if you aren't a Jane Austen fan, there are plenty of other classics (tees) to wet your reading appetite. (Note to self: finally finish Moby Dick so that you can buy the sweatshirt without feeling like you are being sartorially hypocritical). They also come in mens sizes. I've already bought my bf the Brave New World tee.

Now these are a bit pricey, but I'm sure there is a great DIY just waiting to happen: novel clutches by Olympia Le-Tan. I might try my hand at one over the holiday break: a little felt and some embroidery... et voila!

Hope you all have a merry/literary holiday!

Thank you, Lar! This is such an awesome post! I have a few dear bookworms who would love any of the items above!:) Lar and Cath are among my favorite twins here on the blogosphere. Aren't they adorable in the collage above?? I always enjoy following their travels on AsianCajuns and especially, their adventures in their hometown of Atlanta!
