For our annual end of the year party, my writers’ group went green (and economical) for our gift exchange.  Everyone brought one book from their existing collection all wrapped up to pass along and share with someone else.  I passed along A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett, and I brought home The Seamstress by Frances De Pontes Peebles.

Books are always one of my favorite gifts to give and to receive.  If you have a book club or some other group getting together soon, I suggest doing a book exchange of your own.  It’s a great opportunity to weed out your growing collection of books and to enjoy the opportunity to read a new book or two.
