Book Blogger Hop; Gir jeg bøker som gaver?

Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer har det ukentlige temaet Book Blogger Hop, og denne ukens spørsmål var "Gir jeg bøker som gaver?".
Selv om jeg har mine bibliofile tendenser, tilhører det sjeldenhetene at jeg gir bøker i gaver, selv om det har hendt. De gangene jeg har gitt en bok som gave, er det fordi jeg har visst at vedkommende ville ha X bok eller likte den spesifikke forfatteren. Derimot har jeg i flere tilfeller gitt gavekort fra en bokhandel, slik at mottakeren kan bestemme selv.

    Der er vi helt enige. Jeg gir kun bøker i gave som jeg vet vedkommende ønsker seg, ellers er gavekort bankers - hver gang! Ingenting er verre enn å kjøpe egen favorittbok til en person, for å se - når de pakker opp - at den er fullstendig skivebom :)

      Gavekort er veldig hendig når en ikke er hundre prosent sikker på hva slags bok en skal kjøpe, spesielt hvis en ikke har lyst til å gi penger i en konvolutt til vedkommende.

    I love to receive gift cards to bookstores. :-) I like to give them too, especially when I can't quite settle on a book to give to a person.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
