Musing Mondays #8 - Buying Books for the Holidays

Musing Mondays is a weekly event hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Each week MizB asks a book related question and bloggers answer with their thoughts about the given topic.

This week's question was:

Will you be buying books for the holidays, this year? If so, for whom, and why?

Yes I will! :-) I've already bought two books for two friends of mine but I'll probably buy another one for my mum as well. Friend number one is going to get Marian Keyes's The Brightest Star in the Sky because we have a very similar taste in books and I know for certain that she's not familiar with either this book or Marian herself. Friend number two, as known as Nat from Besotted with Books has already got her early Christmas present, that is, Agatha Christie's A Pocket Full of Rye. Why this one? Well, *cough* I'm trying to convert her, Bex and April to being Agatha Christie fans, haha! *cough* Just kidding. I recommended her a Christie book a couple of weeks ago and she really enjoyed it, so I thought she might enjoy this one too. :-) As for my mum, she's going to get Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks: Fifty Years of Mysteries in the Making. She loves Christie so I'm sure she'd love it.

As for myself, I usually get book vouchers for Christmas so despite the fact that I'm completely broke, I think I'll be able to get one or two books for myself as well. We'll see. :-)

How about you, are you planning to buy books for the holidays? Feel free to leave a comment below with a link to your own Musing Mondays post. I hope everyone had a great weekend! xxx
