Bookelicious PopUp Shops: Book Fairs Reimagined

A. A Bookelicious PopUp Shop is a virtual book fair where students create Bookmoji avatars, receive personalized book recommendations from either the full 45,000-book catalog (1-Click PopUp) or a curated 5,000-title collection (Custom PopUp), build wishlists, and invite families to purchase books—earning schools a 10% or 20% credit for literacy initiatives.

A. Studies show that when students have access to a diverse selection of engaging, personally interesting titles, and the freedom to choose their own books, their motivation to read increases. This boost in reading interest is linked to improved academic outcomes. Bookelicious leverages these findings to create a fun, impactful reading experience designed to increase time spent reading and support academic success. Read the research here.

A. With a 1-Click PopUp Shop, families shop from the full catalog of titles on the Bookelicious website. With a Custom PopUp Shop, schools can offer students books from our “Book Universe” – a hand-curated, customizable collection of more than 5,000 titles. This engaging, diverse collection is designed to ensure there’s something for every reader. 

A. Prior to the event, your school or district can review the Book Universe list of recommended titles and tailor that collection based on price, grade band, topic and/or specific ISBNs. This customization ensures that the available titles reflect your community’s voice and meet its unique needs and interests.
