It's my birthday in a few days.
The greatest gift I can imagine is if *you* give *yourself* the gift of a book. For the 3rd year running, I offer my suggestions for how to go about that: http://bookgagabooks.ca/2022/02/28/the-gift-of-a-book-is-a-gift-for-many/
* Purchase from independent booksellers and it's also a gift to those hardworking people and businesses.
* Pre-order books as "a present to your future self" ... and a gift to tireless and determined authors and publishers.
Please reply and let me know what you got, OK? @bookstodon
bookgaga@mastodon.social bookstodon@a.gup.pe I must have had a premonition - I went to my local bookstore (McNally Robinson) a couple days ago to pick up an order of 2 books, but somehow walked out with 5. Funny how that happens. Edit: Happy Birthday!
friesen5000@mstdn.ca bookstodon@a.gup.pe Thanks so much for this, Chris! I'm going to enjoy learning more about the titles here ... just as I wish you much enjoyment reading them.
@bookgaga @bookstodon it just so happens your post came on the same day the latest in my new favorite series was released! However, We have *so many* still to read book in our house, we put a moratorium on buying new book in 2024. Well…March is a pretty good stretch before breaking the rule! Check out my choice here: https://mastodonapp.uk/@pjfitzsimmons/112021045682383093
MardraS@mas.to bookstodon@a.gup.pe I wholeheartedly support you breaking that rule - it's in a good, good cause!
