FEATURE & FOLLOW FRIDAY
Once you answer be sure to leave me your link so I can follow you back
Q: We always talk about the books that WE want. Let's turn it on its head. What books have you given other people lately?
Okay. To be honest I always give people books and they don't like it. What do they want? Apparently gift cards so they can go shopping. Where is the logic in that...
So two weeks ago, I told myself it would be the last time I would ever, ever gift literature and bought a copy of Divergent for my aunt.
The result:
Nice! My sis ended up buying that one for herself. I did preorder Requiem for her for her bday present. Only a few weeks to go!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Follow Friday

I had that happen with my cousin. For weeks afterwards that's all she wanted to talk about and I was happy having one conversation.

That's so funny. The only thing you can do is to keep trying. I bought a ton of books for my BF, some of my favorites, and she didn't read any of them. Instead she was fascinated with my Nook and only reads ebooks now. I don't think I would want anyone gifting me a book because I own so many already, but GCs are always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and becoming a follower, I just followed you right back.
Lol, I like your answer. Thanks for stopping by the blog.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! :) I'm laughing out loud here. I just finished reading Divergent yesterday, and I wrote a review on Goodreads. It's 5-Star! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier. I'm following you back via GFC. Hope to read your posts. Nice blog BTW :)
Kaykay @ The Creative Forum
Happy Reading :)
Hahaha I gift everyone books but they're not always so appreciative either!
ReplyDeleteRegardless as a reader and writer I refuse to give them money to buy junk :P I do try to get them stuff they're interested in so they'll be more inclined to read it :)
Great FF!!

LOL!! Love your post! I can't stop laughing. And I'm in the same boat—although I know my fam and friends are thankful for getting a book as a gift, they don't appreciate it as much I would. Then there are moments when they WANT a book more than anything else.

LMAO! I managed to find the right books for some of my friends, so they love me (now) for that, although it took a lot of time and effort.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I understand your aunt completely - I'm kinda collecting fictional boyfriends. :)
Here's my FF
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
I do that same thing with pictures every year for Christmas I give my in laws a family undated photo in a nice frame or a nice pic of my kids and they apparently have grown tired of it so I stopped and this year, they were wondering were their picture was, you sometimes can't win. I say too bad a gift is a gift no complaining LOL thanks for stopping by my blog

Whenever there is a new baby in the family, I am the one who insists on giving them a book for every birthday and Christmas. Even my first niece! My brother says I should give her something else, and I always will give something else, but always a book! New GFC follower, thanks for stopping by my FF as well!
ReplyDeleteI understand about people wanting gift cards, but I always give them a book along with the card. I keep hoping that perhaps they will learn to love reading, but who knows. I hopped by to become your newest GFC and twitter follower. Sent a Goodreads friend request as well. Have a fantastic rest of the weekend. http://www.kittycrochettwo.blogspot.com
