I also thought that such a thing as too many books is impossible – that is how I ended up in this situation. I began noticing the kids not taking care of their books anymore, not respecting them. And that I could not tolerate 🙂

Oh, Sarah, so jealous that your shopping is done but glad that it included lots of books, even if it did also include an Xbox.

Interesting, Jennifer. This happened to me with my kids but with t-shirts. I cannot imagine too many books. Glad to know some have crept into the stash : )

Gumboyaya, when I take the books out of the bag or the box and run my hands over the covers…books are so beautiful. I like to stack them up and then I even enjoy wrapping them. Thanks for your comment.

I got books for more than half the people on my list. My son was really set on an Xbox, sigh. Good to see you getting the word out on this. As for trees, we have lots of them in Maine!

I tried to consciously avoid buying them books after seeing how many they have – I want them to be special and it is at the point where the playroom floor is littered with them. Yet some books have crept into my stash for them.
For an adult that reads there is no better gift! Fun sites.
