Last minute gifts
Hey, it’s almost Christmas, and Hanukkah is is well underway. I was out and about today, picking up a few last minute gifts (and laundry detergent) when I got to thinking. In this hurly-burly world of e-things and internet shopping, shipping fees and delivery dates there is one item that stands out as a great last minute gift. Of course, I’m talking about books.
And the great thing about books is while you can order them online for delivery sometime in the new year, or download them on your personal reading device, there is one great way to insure you get them in time to give to your loved ones. We still have these amazing establishments called book stores. You can go into on in your area and speak with wonderful people who know a lot about what’s popular, and what’s good. They know all the best books, from funny to poignant, action adventure to biographies. They even have cook books, coloring books, picture books and every genre you can dream of.
Head to a bookstore today or tomorrow and reacquaint yourself with a truly magical place. If you happen to see Black Blade Blues or Honeyed words, I’m sure your loved ones would be thrilled to explore the world of Blacksmith Sarah Beauhall and her adventures with Norse gods, dragons, trolls and magic of all sorts.
Or, you know — what ever book strikes your fancy. You can’t go wrong with a good book.
