This week's question:
What, if any, memorable or special book have you ever gotten as a present? Birthday or otherwise. What made it so notable? The person who gave it? The book itself? The “gift aura?”
My answer:
As much of a bookaholic that I am, I've never received a book as a present. However, I have received gift cards to Borders. I admit, I practically get giddy when I get one of those, my eyes light up and then it's get out of my way while I spend hours in the store. LOL I think gift cards are the best thing invented, so the person can choose whatever they'd like.
Well, you've made me feel better. I always feel uneasy when giving a gift card; it's so impersonal. But after reading your thoughts, I'll be a bit more confident. Happy Booking Through Thursday. I have a book giveaway going on; check out my sidebar if you're interested.
