To everyone? Or only to select people?
How do you feel about receiving books as gifts?

Booking Through Thursday 
I feel like I’m in Groundhog Day.
I know it was an error to have two questions up on the same day, but I answered them both anyway. 😀

I won’t post this as a seperate post on my blog, becuase my answer is really small. No body i know will be ecstatic to recieve books as gifts, except me. And as no one i know is a reader, giving books as gifts don’t cross their minds. Except may be my boyfriend. He doesn’y read much but he knows i love reading. so he occasionally gifts me a book.

[…] Today’s Booking Through Thursday meme touches on something very close to my heart – the giving of books as gifts. Deb has split the question into parts as so: Do you give books as gifts? […]
I love LOVE LOVE giving books as gifts but sadly not everyone I know wants to receive them :o) As for whether I love receiving books as gifts? I think you can guess my answer to that :o) My full reply can be found at the following:

gifting books is my new MO 😀
http://shaycv.blogspot.com/2008/12/btt-generosity.html
I do like to give books as gifts but only to people that I know will appreciate them. I won’t give a book to someone that does not like to read, because I don’t want them to feel as if I am forcing them to read. I enjoy receiving books as gifts, especially if the person giving it to me has put some thought into it…like giving me a book by one of my favorite authors.

Late but here it is.
I love when you guys write that you want to break into the first ten comments or posts. I am shooting for double rather than triple digits.

I’ll answer the other one tomorrow when I’m not falling asleep at the keyboard. 🙂
Sorry it’s so late…..but I’m up. Come visit me at http://stephaniesbooks.blogspot.com/
For a minute there, I thought it was still Thursday. “Hey! I finally got this done on a Thursday!” Right.
Anyway, here’s my late submission. I only did Generosity, as I “treat” myself to books ALL THE TIME, and having to pick only one was giving me a headache. Actually, the headache’s probably from looking outside at all the snow, and realizing that there’s no way in heck I’m making it to my massage appointment at 12:30, but whatever…
So, here‘s the post. =)
Booking Through Thursday on Friday – thanks for the bonus question this week. What a generous treat :-)!
Better late then never. Here’s mine:
http://twistyfarmy.wordpress.com/
A day late but I am in on this one – love giving and getting books!

Here’s what Roy Blount has to say on the subject, repeated at CE Desk: http://thecopyeditorsdesk.com/2008/12/11/give-books-for-christmas/
In a later e-mail to Author’s Guild members, he reported that one member bought 50 books from an independent bookseller to use as Christmas presents. Go for it!
A very brief response, but a response nonetheless 😉
My answer – http://test-veens.blogspot.com/2008/12/btt-asks-about-my-treat-and-gifts.html
Thanks Deb!
I gave everyone in my family books this year. Working at a bookstore has its advantages.
Books I am giving: The Lace Reader, Musicophilia, Dewey, The Greatest Game, Best American Sports Writing, and Amelia Bedelia.
