Let’s go Booking Through Thursday!
Do you give books as gifts? To everyone? Or only to select people?
How do you feel about receiving books as gifts?
I absolutely give books as gifts . . . in fact, I think books are some of the best gifts of all! There’s absolutely a book out there for everyone — whether it’s a mystery, a romance, some literary fiction, a World War II discussion, a recipe book — and books provide entertainment and knowledge all in one neat package!
I don’t necessarily give books to everyone, but I almost always get books as gifts for my parents and sister. We all enjoy reading for fun and I like finding something that I know will be a bit of a surprise to unwrap! When I was working often in the bookstore, I found potential gift books all the time. I would dutifully copy down the ISBN and other information and store it away birthdays and holidays.
And I love to get books as gifts — again, they’re some of the best gifts! I get so excited when I crack the spine of a fresh book, pour through the inside and skim over the back cover. My wish list is ever growing!
My TBR pile and my wish list is so very long!

“There’s absolutely a book out there for everyone”
I cannot agree with you more, although my inner voice would whisper to me that giving non-readers books is thoughtless. I think it’s a matter of spending time and effort to find the right books.
