Jody (jodybell) | 3477 comments Yes! I love nonfiction. I would very much recommend Infidel, especially if you can do the audiobook version. It's narrated by the author and it's amazing.

I HATE SNOW!!!!!

TPBM can’t catch up on all the pop sugar and ATY threads currently going crazy

TPBM is planning on DIY gifts this year


message 595: by Ann (new)

Ann S | 624 comments All decorating is done. Decided to just buy carefully selected gift cards this year with a small related gift as a gift tag. So bookstore gift card with bookmark as a tag. A gift card for a blouse with earrings as a tag. Saves my brain
TPBM would be insulted to receive a gift card.


message 596: by Sara (new)

Sara (phantomswife) Nope, money is always better than a gift you cannot use, and I think we are more inclined to give gift cards to people we don't know well enough to choose a gift for or who just don't need anything obvious.

TPBM has snow on the ground.


message 597: by Lauren (last edited Dec 09, 2018 10:40AM) (new)

Lauren Oertel No, we're doing mostly experiences gifts (rather than "things") these days. DIY items that are useful are great though!

TPBM has read A Man Called Ove.

*Edit: it looks like two of us were answering the previous post at the same time. I'm in Austin, TX - no snow on the ground here (although we had three snows last December, which is rare)!
