Books make the perfect gift, don't you think? Easy to wrap, easy to ship, and they last - day after day, year after year, right there on the bookshelf to enjoy again and again. Or pass on to someone else.

I have no idea which of these books you haven't read. I haven't read any of them, but I bet they're good ones, and I'm always looking for good books to read. Thanks for pointing them out.
I love, love, loved THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE and THE HELP!!! Awesome reads. And now I need to read your other suggestions! Thanks, LInda! : )
Yes, THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE and THE HELP are wonderful, fantastic reads. Of the books above, the only two I haven't read yet are the MINI-MYSTERIES (but it sounded perfect for the one I picked it for) and THE DISTANT HOURS, by Kate Morton. But I just read and loved her last book, THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN, so I gave this one as a present to someone who also loved that one, hoping her newest is just as good.
And BINK AND GOLLIE? oh gosh. It's hilarious! These are all great books!
