It's the most wonderful time of the year: when the Goodreads staff celebrates our love of reading with the annual "12 Days of Goodreads" tradition! So we're sharing in case this inspires you to kickstart a similar idea in your company. The rules are simple: over 12 days via email, we take turns choosing a colleague to surprise with a special book from their "Want to Read" list. Once you’re tagged, you discover which new book you’ve been gifted (squeals of delight allowed), then pass the joy along by choosing the next lucky recipient. We ‘reply all’ with each email so we can see which books are picked and the reasons the gifter has for selecting it for the recipient. For book lovers, what better way to connect with our co-workers than through our biggest shared passion: getting lost in great stories! Do you have any gifting traditions in your company?
