"If I gave you £50 (or $80) and sent you into a bookshop right now, what would be in your basket when you finally staggered to the till?"
I have a really weird habit when it comes to book related gifts, especially gift cards. I don't read the books or use the gift cards right away. I like to savor the anticipation of gifted books. And I like the idea of being able to buy new books over the course of a period of time, rather than all at once.
So, if I were given $80 to spend on books today - I would buy Haunting Jasmine by Anjali Banerjee. I'd also pre-order the new Sarah Addison Allen and then I'd put the rest of onto a gift card in order to spread the book buying happiness out over time.
That makes a lot of sense, Sheery...spreading out the good stuff a bit.
