They all get read eventually. Even the dumb ones.<br /><br />DDBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144446186279708019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749424911811197625.post-26789332780957772632009-12-13T15:19:41.061-08:002009-12-13T15:19:41.061-08:00That is something I haven't done in quite a wh...That is something I haven't done in quite a while.I used to go to the library and bring home armloads of books.Excited to want to read them all,all at once.I really need to get back to that again.I hated school.I loved English (later called Language Arts),but failed at everything else.Now,I love to learn(except math,LOL).I like what Cheryl said she likes to try to figure out why you chose the book you send her...<br />Take Care...

I've been frantically reading this last couple of weeks so I could decide. I give gifts of books to people that I would never give a gift to normally and this comes from your contemplating books and who should receive them over the years. The idea is such a great one and so much more thoughtful than other gifts and a great way to move books along instead of planting them in my bookcase. I always try to decide why you decided this book should be mine even if I don't get to it right away. I thank you for this great book giving idea and also for the years of your thinking of me through the books you send.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749424911811197625.post-55151769449642286162009-12-12T18:08:20.059-08:002009-12-12T18:08:20.059-08:00That Header is really something, Gerry.

That is very strange you would want to send me the exact book I am reading!

I was so impressed with her lovely work with the graphics and the story brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Gerry for sharing her blog sight us all. It was a treat indeed.<br /><br />Your worry's about the risky Xmas gifts made me laugh. I'm sure everyone is very happy with your books whether they get them read quickly or later. You put wso much thought into what you give everyone and the pleasure you get from deciding who will like what is a joy unto self. I love reading about how you collect and gather for each one. It is a gift that we can still go out get the things we think people will love. I haven't gone nearly as much as usual or got nice thoughtful gifts. There has been a lot of Christmas parties this year and I have attended quite a few and it is nice to laugh and talk with friends. My energy flags so I only get half done that I want to do, but it has been fun in any event. I asked Trevor on Facebook if they had their tree up yet and he replied that they had it up and had a blast! I thought that said a lot about their family and it makes me so happy.LaRenanoreply@blogger.com
