I like the idea of mixing things up though, like a cookbook or a collection of books. The crime fiction novels from around the world is really awesome. Off to check those out.<br /><br />Lauren<br />Shooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-50682849971192680572013-01-11T21:46:53.040-05:002013-01-11T21:46:53.040-05:00A quilt AND a book?

I loved buying my husband a few science fiction titles that I know he will love, along with a humorous dog book. He was so happy with these gifts!

I think most of the duff books I've ever been given were from people who meant well but didn't know my niches of the book world and didn't ask - I'm sure a good bookseller would have steered them better than they guessed. Still, any book as a gift is wonderful. I can't believe anyone would bin books if they received them!Alex in Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581135303575274237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-56083731369340511402013-01-11T06:51:55.424-05:002013-01-11T06:51:55.424-05:00your father in law is going to love the Derek Raym...your father in law is going to love the Derek Raymond book. i can't wait to read the rest of the series. gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100873047298594993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-60779981722242823752013-01-11T06:50:11.552-05:002013-01-11T06:50:11.552-05:00I agree.
