Earlier today I stopped in at my friend Karen’s place to pick up two autographed copies of her most recent novel, Summer of Fire. I have two teenage nieces that we’ll be seeing on Christmas Eve and wanted to have a gift for each of them. I immediately knew I’d give them each a copy of Karen’s most recent Young Adult novel. Books are one of my favourite gifts, whether to receive or to give. When I picked up the books Karen and I chatted for a while and then I returned home to wrap up the books. I knew Karen had already personalized and signed the books for me but it wasn’t until I arrived home that I saw what she wrote. It was so perfect and, as is apt for such a wordsmith, there is a double entendre in what she wrote, “Get fired up about reading!”
Here’s to getting fired up this Christmas season. May you and yours enjoy a Christmas that is filled with love, laughter, and special moments. Be sure to capture those moments with your camera too!
Books make an excellent gift. I gave myself a book and received three as gifts – awesome! Hope you had a great Christmas, Diane.
I absolutely love books, too. Happy holidays to you and your family, Diane. Hope your Christmas was great and that 2010 brings you everything you want…and more.
Books are my favorite gift to give and get too. I hope your Christmas was wonderful, Diane.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmastide Diane.
Wishing you and yours all the best. May your holidays be filled with laughter and light!!!
Books are some of my most valued possessions. Are we surprised?:-) Very nice, Diane.
