It's my birthday in a few days.

The greatest gift I can imagine is if *you* give *yourself* the gift of a book. For the 3rd year running, I offer my suggestions for how to go about that: http://bookgagabooks.ca/2022/02/28/the-gift-of-a-book-is-a-gift-for-many/

* Purchase from independent booksellers and it's also a gift to those hardworking people and businesses.

* Pre-order books as "a present to your future self" ... and a gift to tireless and determined authors and publishers.

Please reply and let me know what you got, OK? @bookstodon

@bookgaga @bookstodon I must have had a premonition - I went to my local bookstore (McNally Robinson) a couple days ago to pick up an order of 2 books, but somehow walked out with 5. Funny how that happens. Edit: Happy Birthday!

@bookgaga @bookstodon it just so happens your post came on the same day the latest in my new favorite series was released! However, We have *so many* still to read book in our house, we put a moratorium on buying new book in 2024. Well…March is a pretty good stretch before breaking the rule!
