Books for Your Best Friend
She is the one you call when you feel less than adequate. She is the one you call when you’re on top of the world. She is fond of black turtlenecks and vintage jewelry. You have never seen her wear something trendy. There are sunflowers in her garden every summer and jazz always plays in the rooms of her house. Though serious and whip smart, she does an impression of your third grade teacher that still reduces you to tears. She is the person you want in your corner and you wish her all good things all year round. Here are some books for her.

The Miniaturist is the best book I have read this year. When I got to the end I felt like turning back to the beginning and starting again.

My best friend will be getting Photographs by Eudora Welty (we both love her), but I've got to have My Favorite Things by Maira Kalman for myself! It's bound to be a delightful book.

ReplyDeleteLoving your reading selections -- books are the best gifts! Thanks.
ReplyDeletePS Typo alert, LOL - that first author on Backwards in High Heels is Tania, not Ianta, Kindersley. ;-)

Least I could do for someone who gave me so many leads for good gifts . . . however, you addressed the problem in your next post: it became 'one for you, one for me.' Sheesh, you cost me a lotta $. But . . . :-))))))) Books are not really, really budget items, are they? Mary
