Solutions for All Your Gift-Giving Needs
Okay, I’m a little bit amused: I posted the following on my personal website and of course it’s all one big joke. This is very much a tongue in cheek post. But I gave it a title that I knew had the potential to show up in search engines (the title you see above, minus the question mark). And today I have a record high number of hits on my blog. I can only imagine people’s reaction when they realize that the “best holiday gift ever” suggestion is completely unhelpful. I’m afraid I may not have made any friends and, yes, Kim, I feel slightly guilty (Kim thinks I have an overly active sense of guilt). On the other hand, record numbers! Woo-hoo.
Although the following was written specifically about the books I’ve had published, rest assured that it also works for anyone else’s books, which is why I feel it belongs on this blog as well as mine. This blog is all about liking books. So why not find some new ways to gift them?
Struggling to find the right gift for that special someone in your life? Hoping to rein in your spending this year? Worried that a fun gift won’t be practical and a practical gift won’t be fun? Then give the gift that’s all things to all people: a copy of one of my books!
“But no one in my life reads these kinds of novels except me,” you say in protest. Ah, but that’s where you’re not thinking this through. A neat, small paperback can serve so many functions. Sure, people can read it–no one’s going to stop them–but think of all the other ways they can use each and every one of the novels and non-fiction books I’ve written (available online and at your local bookstores).
