I hate getting books for Christmas in general because I’m such a mood reader, and I’ve plastered a fake smile on my face many a time and repeated internally ‘Its the thought that counts.’ as I unwrap a book I will not read.
But the worst one by far, given to me by my own Mother , who I know loves me, when I was fourteen years old! was >!Men are from Mars Women are from Venus.!< I am sitting there horrified thinking what is she trying to tell me? As my sisters are flat on the floor laughing to the point of puking. We eventually came to the conclusion she just saw an attractive cover on a bestseller table and grabbed it. Love to know your terrible gift stories.
Literally anything nonfiction ESPECIALLY when it’s about politics. I love to read and my family knows this, but the ones who attempt to get me books will either pick up any YA novel with good reviews and an important message, or they’ll get a book they saw on some late night political show. I appreciate that you want me to be well read but I just want to read about magic and romance thank you. I already live in the real world I don’t want to read it too. T-T
