Book Blogger Hop: Exchanging Gifts

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Book Blogger Hop is run by Billy @CoffeeAddictedWriter. There is a different bookish question each week.

ANSWER: Of course! My husband and I are book lovers, and most of the people I’m close to are book lovers. We don’t always give or receive books, but we often give book-inspired gifts. I don’t get a lot of books as Christmas gifts because I get so many for free as a blogger. But I get book-inspired gifts like Harry Potter t-shirts and collectibles, or movies inspired by books. I got the DVD of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris last year. 

Last year, my husband and I unknowingly gave each other books from the same author/series! We ended up only overlapping a few.

What about you? Do you exchange Christmas gifts with other book lovers?

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  1. Book inspired gifts are some of my favorites, Bonnie, especially if I know that someone loves a certain book series.
    I know that Harry Potter earrings will always be a hit with my daughter and one of my biggest wishes is a bottle of San Heughan’s Sassenach whiskey, but we don’t get it here in South Africa.
    A bookmark or a mug with a book quote will do. 🙂

    Happy New Year, Bonnie!
    Wishing you and yours a happy and fulfilled 2024!

    1. I will take Harry Potter anything too! I have a favorite t-shirt with “Patagonian attack chickens” on it, which is from one of Jodi Taylor’s book series. I hope you get to try that whiskey someday!

      Happy New Year to you as well!

    2. I have had the absolute pleasure of reading Geraldine Brooks, Horse, a Novel. Have you read it, Bonnie?

      Carefully and meticulously researched, it is a masterful lesson on how to construct a fascinately plot and pull the characters out of the humdrum! It all centers around the handful of unrelated people who over the cross of 170 years come to love ONE particular horse. Artists, black groomsmen and trainers, art lovers and museum curators. Who would have thought these people would all have something in common?

      I was told it was the railroad pullman porters who created the Black middle class. What I was not aware of was that there were some Blacks before the Civil War who were “needed” to train and ride the thoroughbreds for the White rich folks. Marvelous insights into that professional cadre. An enthralling book on every level. I really cannot say enough to praise this book and highly recommend it!
