My kids get books for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, their birthdays, and even on the last day of school each summer.... I love giving books to people. Great idea and so simple.

I already have their Christmas gifts so, I can't commit to buying books for the holidays. Just wanted to say 'Great idea!' and share that I do it all year for birthdays.Crystal M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09278486194660608063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-88673718615671851322008-11-10T17:04:00.000-08:002008-11-10T17:04:00.000-08:00I LOVE the idea of an audio book!I LOVE the idea of an audio book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-91421460394926128652008-11-10T16:43:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:43:00.000-08:00I am loving this!

I did buy 2 books for a Halloween gift and I bought 2 books this weekend - 1 for me and 1 for my mother-in-law. I think this campaign is wonderful, though.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-18794657005928600922008-11-10T01:02:00.000-08:002008-11-10T01:02:00.000-08:00Amy, you're so sweet and I think your heart is in ...Amy, you're so sweet and I think your heart is in the right place, but I'm with JLS Hall about gift cards. Unless I knew exactly what the person wanted (or could make a reasonable guess) I wouldn't buy them a book. I would, however, buy a gift card (and that's what I would prefer to receive, too). Plus they are much easier and cheaper to ship. Plus many (most!) of the people on my list are not readers, sadly.LisaMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530087423961700607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-85246759840716357672008-11-10T00:57:00.000-08:002008-11-10T00:57:00.000-08:00Sounds like a great idea!

Since most of my Christmas giving has to be done long distance (very long, in some cases), I'm much more likely to be sending bookstore gift cards, rather than actual books. And in general, I think I'd rather receive a gift card myself, so I can do the choosing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
