Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is almost there and it’s time to start thinking about what to offer. Books make perfect gifts and there are books suitable to every taste and pocket as well! Either with bookstore gift certificates, or taking advantage of book fairs, book sales, discounts or even second-hand books, there are no possible excuses for not choosing at least a book for yourself and/or for a Christmas gift.

Now, what books have caught your eye during 2012? Which ones are in your Christmas wishlist, either for you to buy / read or would like to get as a Christmas present? What book(s) are you most looking forward to reading on your upcoming days off?

My challenge and request would be for YOU to visit this  new wallwisher and simply write down what your choice(s) is/are. You just have to double click to add a new post-it or drag a file from your computer; If you wish to add any kind of multimedia file, at the bottom of the post, there are options to add a link, upload a file, or take a picture from webcam.

Why Wallwisher? Well, because it is so simple and allows you to publish anonymously. Experience tells me that many people visit this blog and one of the reasons some readers don’t leave a comment is to avoid being identified… That’s ok, I understand that - and exactly to try and persuade more people to collaborate and share their preferences, I’ve created this wallwisher. Nevertheless, if you lack ideas and/or have read a book recently, why not pay here a visit and (also) leave your recommendation(s)? 

Brace yourselves! Christmas is coming... and so (hopefully) are books!
Happy Wishing :=)

Countdown to Christmas

With only 11 days to Christmas, it's never too much (or too late) to remind you that books make perfect gifts: for yourself or to offer a relative / friend, there's always a good book to suit every taste and pocket.
I too am worried about budget cuts and the impending (though delightful) costs of Christmas and that's exactly why this year I'm choosing even more books: books are really great gifts any time of the year but now they are superb austerity gifts once they are good value and are not that expensive taking into account the fun they can provide and the fact that we can take advantage of book fairs, book sales, discounts... I believe that the very act of choosing a book shows you care and your affection, don't you agree?
Anyway, even if you are still stuck for inspiration (or lack the time) to choose a fitting book, there's always a bookstore gift certificate - a nice way of saying "you choose".
Sooooooo, why not peeping for some suggestions for some great Christmassy reads to get into the spirit of Christmas, starting tomorrow???
