Bookish Question of the Week

Last week my Bookish Question of the Week post simply disappeared. My subscribers received the notification in their inbox but an old link presented itself when they tried to go to the blog. Very weird! In any event, I’m trying again!

I asked about book gifts – are you planning to give books as gifts at Christmas? If so, which ones? Fiction or non-fiction? Picture books or Bibles? I rarely receive books as gifts – everyone is too scared that I will already have it! And rightly so. But I love to give books as presents and love searching for …
