I'm starting to exhaust this gift-giving repetoire, though. Either I need to add some new books to it, or else I need to make some new friends who haven't been subjected to my go-to gifts. Sometime, in the next week or two, I will carve some time out to go to the bookstores, the big box one and an indie or two. I will get a very, very big coffee (Gingerbread latte, my favourite $7 coffee of them all) and wander aisle after aisle, stroking the covers of the books and trying to picture a friend, a relative propped up on their couch, happily reading. Happy readings, after all, make for the happiest of holidays.

Yes, working in a bookstore definitely leads to literary gift-giving. My family reaps the rewards once again this year.
Thanks for the tip on the Josephine book. I am always looking for good historical books for my mom.
