I could buy my mom just any book off the first rack I come to at the bookstore, but then, it's not a book that comes from the heart, is it? I like putting thought behind a gift I give someone. I want them to know I care. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-59111275060093852702007-09-27T16:38:00.000-06:002007-09-27T16:38:00.000-06:00Great answer!

That's why my friends and I give each other book wishlists to make it easier.

But I have to admit, in this case I was able to come up with a single book for once. Maybe just because most people who are my friends share a few traits in common, and I think all or nearly all of them could appreciate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
