Steal This Fun Experience Gift for the Reader You Love
What do you give the reader who already has plenty of books?
In my case, my daughter gave me something even better: a whole day built around the things I love. She planned a surprise Birthday Book Crawl complete with a map, coupons, independent bookstores, delicious food, and plenty of time together.
