Book Lust Rediscoveries, Nancy Pearl's latest initiative, will bring back six out-of-print or out-of-stock books a year through a new partnership with Amazon. A portion of the sales will go to the Nancy Pearl Endowment for Public Librarianship at the University of Washington's Information School. The endowment was established in 2011.

Nancy Pearl, is on the iSchool's master of library and information science advisory board and serves as an adjunct faculty. She speaks about the pleasures of reading to library and community groups throughout the world and comments on books regularly on NPR's Morning Edition. She's the author of Book Crush: For Kids and Teens: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Interest; Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason; and More Book Lust: 1,000 New Reading Recommendations for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason, all published by Sasquatch Books. In 2004 she was awarded the Women's National Book Association Award, given to "a living American woman who … has done meritorious work in the world of books beyond the duties or responsibilities of her profession or occupation."
