She was so excited she shared the gift with the rest of the homeschool kids, who were very excited too. One teen asked, "You wrote that?"

In our family this was the gift my father gave to each of us every Christmas and for birthdays.

Beyond that, in a couple of cases, my friends are into literary fiction, about which I know nothing. My only hope of pleasing them would be working from the NY Times book list.<br /><br />I'd be delighted if my friends had wish lists at Amazon.SherryThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964221770863733221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-83594191067972732362010-12-07T16:30:34.909-05:002010-12-07T16:30:34.909-05:00Awesome!Awesome!Christine Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657651210128892443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-48222114377771303122010-12-07T13:37:49.784-05:002010-12-07T13:37:49.784-05:00Books as gifts?

My grandkids and g-grandkids get books, but this year I'm sending bookstore gift cards since they live far away and I'm not sure what books they have. This way, they can choose their own. I have a Wish List at Amazon too and one son and daughter-in-law usually look at it. I'd enjoy gift certificates too so I could buy for my iPad.<br />Beautiful cover, Christine. Actually, I've been jotting down our member's books to check on them.

I have an aunt with a Nook, and she uses those GC's to fill it up, so she doesn't blow her whole budget on instantly purchased ebooks. <br />Kim - I love that idea. Books are terribly versatile, and easy to ship, too! I'm thinking about that as I consider how I'm going to squeeze three pillow pets into a box for my niece and nephews to mail to South Carolina... should have bought more books.Christine Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657651210128892443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-47774424120848604712010-12-06T11:10:33.769-05:002010-12-06T11:10:33.769-05:00I'm giving books as Christmas gifts this year....I'm giving books as Christmas gifts this year.

Ye...Ooo, pretty cover! Can't wait to read it!<br /><br />Yes, I give books as gifts, though nowadays I've switched to giving the next-door-neighbor kids gift cards at the local bookstore so they can choose their own books. Even the four-year-old loves to make her own decision.Kathy Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853773950136365293noreply@blogger.com
