Isn't this a splendid idea? Of course I believe in giving books for the holdiays, being a book junkie and a librarian and all. Choosing a book for someone else lets you focus on that person - what she likes, what she needs, what she dreams about - and erases some of the stress that accumulates in the holidays season. Click over to their website for some book suggestions, check out your friends' Amazon wishlists, and connect with a meaningful gift for a loved one.
Of course, you know I also support Heifer International and other organizations, but I'll write about them another time.What does a fatigued and fried librarian do on her lunch hour? If she's

A plain pen? A plain notebook? Wait --- I'm feeling sort of dizzy. . .

You must have been channeling MacGuyver. :)
So do you ever use the Cahiers version of the Moleskine? I was looking at those last night at B&N.
Books for gifting? ALWAYS!
Glad you got away for a bit...those breathers are lifesavers.

Books always show up as gifts in my house. I feel it's my duty to aid and abet the reading habits of everyone in my life.
I just bought a bunch of books for gifts and a moleskine!
Books are always my favorite gift to give!
Oooh blueberry scone at B&N!
Oh man, I hear you on the tools! I hate using just any old thing for my writing, but the "right" pen changes by the day... or sometimes just by the project...
I'm on the fence about buying books for others.
Generic? ballpoint? And you were able to churn out 3 pages? You are a amazing.
I wonder if I first learned about Heifer from you? If so, thank-you. My mother suggested last year at Christmas that we don't give her gifts anymore (she's 86) but do charitable things instead. So for her birthday I gave a family a flock of geese. Mom was thrilled with my present. It's a wonderful organization.
our default gifts are always books, but we might have to limit receipt thereof this year as there is no open shelf space. it doesn't mean we won't give any but i think i might have to either work really hard on selling a new bookcase or (gasp) look into storage. i am unable to cull. even when i own two exactly similar copies. you should really *linkage* your wish list somewhere easy to find. ;)
Are you writing this all by hand? I applaud you!! I write down notes, ideas, characters etc., but the actual novel is on computer paper, if you know what I mean :) I am still somewhat lacking a plot, but just passed 21k, and it's 1am Tuesday, 18 Nov.
