Booking Through Thursday...


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?”


I honestly can't remember a single book that someone else has purchased for me that I haven't asked for. I have so many books that unless I give someone a title there isn't really any way for them to know what I have read, or already own. Besides, half the fun of getting new books is browsing to see what treasure you might come across!

My dad bought me The Neverending Story when I was 10 or so and for some reason that stands out in my mind.

The only book gifts I can remember are from when I was a kid. I'm too good to myself and buy the books I want, instead of waiting for them to be given to me :)
