Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about books for children… Do you buy books as gifts for children – either your own or those of friends or family? Would you buy books for all children, or only children who are already practiced readers?
Do I buy books for children? By all means yes! We don't have a lot of extended family to buy books for, but I have 4 kids of my own. I used to be always looking for an occasion to buy them all a new book! I give them books for Valentines Day, Easter, The Last Day of School, Birthdays and best of all, Christmas. They might get 2 or 3 in their stockings and there is always one nice book wrapped under the tree. I am a firm believer that you can NEVER have too many books! (If only my husband agreed!)
Nice mailbox, have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteI love buying books for children. When my boys were little, like you, any occasion was an excuse to give them a book. Now at 18 & 15 they refuse to read so I only have my niece to buy for :-)
Hopefully her love of reading stays with her as she gets older!
Great mailbox! Hope you have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteI love your mailbox this week. I am furiously adding books to my list now. I like the sound of So Many Books, So Little Time - does it tell you how to create more reading time?
ReplyDeleteLove the new look!
ReplyDeleteI bought the book "Love Walked In" a few weeks ago but haven't gotten around to reading it, yet.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great mailbox week!
I really liked Love Walked In (one of my favorite books this year). I'll watch for your review.
ReplyDeleteNice mailbox haul. I haven't heard of Tuscany for Beginners. Sounds interesting!
LOVE your blog background - so end-of-summery.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of great books coming in! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSame here, my husband would rather give toys and sometimes, his gifts get picked up first. But I still give books. There lasting than the more expensive toys out there.
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of these, but I shall be looking them up! My choices last week and this week is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-are-you-reading-monday_31.html
ReplyDelete"Love Walked In" sounds sooooo good. Did you just get a new background...and header? It looks new and if it isn't, I'll feel like a total idiot. No matter. It's not like it will be the the last time...lol. It is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great-looking books. Happy reading!
