I have such a hard time understanding how somebody can't like to read. Anyhow, I love getting gift cards for books and I do the same, I let them know what I bought with it.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821441307795094837.post-67025049066091785662008-12-18T15:22:00.000-05:002008-12-18T15:22:00.000-05:00It's so nice to let the person who gave you a gift...It's so nice to let the person who gave you a gift card know what you used it for!<BR/><BR/>My BTT is <A HREF="http://www.sheistoofondofbooks.com/2008/12/18/booking-through-thursday-generosity-in-a-bookish-way/" REL="nofollow">here</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821441307795094837.post-44180511849373188482008-12-18T14:57:00.000-05:002008-12-18T14:57:00.000-05:00I'm spending a lot of time matching books to their...I'm spending a lot of time matching books to their recipients, especially those who don't read much. I believe there is a book for everybody. Books are very personal gifts.<BR/><BR/>I’m a “piece of work” in terms of recipient of books. Over the years my friends have cringed from giving me books for my birthday owing to my eclectic taste. They also keep in mind that I’ve probably read some of the books they want to give me. Books do make perfect gifts, but by their very nature, books can also be a problem as tokens of affection. The delay factor is huge. Some books get a one-way ticket back to the used bookstore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821441307795094837.post-5661355212433155212008-12-18T12:40:00.000-05:002008-12-18T12:40:00.000-05:00I like the gift cards, but best of all is having a...I like the gift cards, but best of all is having a book to HOLD.SmilingSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479373067844173653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821441307795094837.post-91907570747439122562008-12-18T11:21:00.000-05:002008-12-18T11:21:00.000-05:00I love getting gift cards for books too!I love getting gift cards for books too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821441307795094837.post-1519469531659045612008-12-18T10:55:00.000-05:002008-12-18T10:55:00.000-05:00Depends on the person -- book or gift card.

I'd rather someone have the book she wants than the one I picked out for her.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
