Worldbuilders and Holiday Gift Recs Redux

I did a post yesterday on collecting holiday gift recs of books and people's etsy and craft and small business shops, but it tanked due to another DDoS attack. But there are a few comments with links to great shops and some YA and MG book recs that would make great presents, so please check it out and keep adding more, and I'll link back to it later this week to remind people it's there.

Patrick Rothfuss' Worldbuilders Fundraiser for Heifer International has started. Donating to Heifer International through Worldbuilders enters you into a lottery to win fabulous prizes, like tons of signed books and other items donated by authors, publishers, and fans, and Worldbuilders will match 50% of your donation. The fundraiser goes to January 31, and there will also be auctions and opportunities to donate to get specific items, like t-shirts, books, calendars, foreign editions, etc.

Last year this fundraiser raised $190,000. Yes, $190,000. It started like yesterday and it's already over $9000. Your small donation added in with everyone else's small donation can do an enormous amount of good, plus get you a chance for a nice prize. Check the blog for ongoing updates on prizes and other ways to donate.
