Gonereading Showcase

All you have to do to know how much I respect the charitable contributions of Gonereading is to look at my sidebar where I'm honored to partner with them and proud to display it.

This month I'm reaching out to book clubs who love to enhance the experience by creating an atmosphere that compliments the read. I know we have many Jane Austen fans in the audience so let's say next month's read is Sense and Sensibility. You'll want to start with some Regency era recipes, perhaps plan a real English High Tea.

Luckily you can add some Gonereading items to your giveaway gifts or perhaps raffle them off for your own charitable causes.

Here's some Jane Austen items in Gonereading's merchandise choices.

And maybe next month you're reading The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe- You may want to make this Edgar Allan Poe Party Pizza by Food.com and then give your members some Poe memorabilia as parting gifts. You can choose from the many great Poe choices that Gonereading offers.

Whatever you're reading, whatever author you're showcasing Gonereading has the perfect compliment to make your book club not only unforgettable but also to know you're contributing to a very worthy cause.

Read on for Gonereading's philanthropic mission by their CEO and founder Brad Wirz

Dear Fellow Readers & Book Lovers:

If you’re like me, you just can’t imagine living in a world without reading. Unfortunately, for almost a billion people today, that’s exactly where they find themselves. There are countless villages, towns and vast regions of this planet where the power of reading has yet to shine its light.

Gone Reading International, LLC was founded to counter these problems and spread the magic of reading. We believe that when people have open access to great reading materials, life always changes for the better.  When libraries and reading materials are made available, people and their communities thrive through increased opportunity and self-empowerment.

That’s why Gone Reading International has pledged 100% of our after-tax profits to provide new funding for reading-related charities.  By purchasing GoneReading brand gifts and merchandise, you’re treating yourself and the world at large to a wonderful gift.  All purchases from GoneReading help contribute to our philanthropic work.

We donate to great non-profits such as READ Global and Ethiopia Reads, amazing organizations with proven models, long track records, and dedicated teams on the ground.  Such groups partner with local villages and communities in the most underdeveloped parts of the world to create new libraries that effect real change.  I encourage you to check out these organizations for yourself, and support them in any way you can.

Make A Purchase & Share Our Story

Founded in 2011, our long-term goal is to provide significant financial assistance to our preferred charities, allowing them to achieve greater scale and impact.  We invite you to join us in this work by making a purchase of our gifts for readers.

Equally important, we ask you to share our story with the book lovers and readers in your life.

Happy Reading!
