There's a huge charity auction going on right now (ending 24th November): https://www.32auctions.com/romancingrunoff

It was started by a group of romance authors inspired by Stacey Abrams (who writes under the pen name Selena Montgomery). There are almost a thousand items listed. A few of the highlights:

...and much, much more, including (of course) lots of signed books.

There have been a number of more reasonably priced "Buy It Now" options with print books. But they have been selling out quickly.

Mystery authors have followed the lead from romance, and launched their own auction for the same purpose. They have a lot of the same type of stuff, like signed books, online events, consultations for authors, and book themed jewelry. You can also bid on being written into various future books as a murder victim, super villain, pet (!), or another character, in books by Andrew Child, Karin Slaughter, Sara Paretsky and others.

Here's the auction: https://www.32auctions.com/MysteryLovesGeorgia
(I think items are still being added, so you might want to check it out more than once.)

Romancing the Runoff raised more than 470 000$ in the auction + donations, by the way!
