Current giveaway: “Flight of the Goose” by Lesley Thomas
So it’s that time of year again. In a perfect world I would give books to everyone as gifts. I like reading, most of them like reading, books are amazing…. everyone wins. That being said, I’m always amazed at how difficult it is to buy books for other people. I know what I like, but that’s not necessarily what they like. And for some of them, I know what they like, but I still can’t seem to direct that towards the book that would be perfect for them. Now if everyone only had Librarything like I did then it would make book buying a lot easier! But as it is, I’m forced to either do my best at guessing what they would like, or not buying them books at all and settling on stupid gift cards. I like gift cards as much as the next person, but I wish I didn’t end up giving out so many! Anybody have tips on giving books as presents??

I wish I did. I find it hard because I’m not always 100% sure what they’ve already read or own. I guess you could always go with gift cards.
That’s probably what I’ll end up doing, but I just wish I coud make my gifts more personal!
Well, if you know the person likes to read, then they should appreciate any book you get!
BTW – I hope you didn’t already have the one I got you? 😦 YOU are impossible to shop for because you already have read so many!
Lol I didn’t open it yet! I wanted to wait until I gave you the presents I got you 🙂
welllll Rosie didn’t wait. Lol you didn’t have to wait either. With my luck, you probably already have it. Phooey.
