I’m gifting two of my favorite reads from this year—
The Correspondent and Raising Hare
Both are lovely uplifting reads—much needed in these dark times!

Two of my favorites too!
My husband and I so enjoyed watching two eagles hatch and raise two eaglets. We’re already watching the adults prepare their nest for their next young ones. This activity is referred to as “nestoration”. 
I’m giving him two books about these magnificent birds.

That’s great Nan. I am a life-long birder and actually have an online birding store. I have a card by Charley Harper that depicts wrens building a nest in a pair of shorts and he entitled it “Wrenovation”.

My family has always given books for everything from childbirth to birthdays and celebrations. In recent years I haven’t given books because the serious book readers know what they like and other members don’t have time, etc.
Having spent so much time on my reading history I decided to choose books important to me and matching books to each family member, knowing them like I do.
I queried every member as to their preference as to hard back/paper/audio but not what books I will give them at Christmas. They are quite excited.
Here are the covers I have selected and purchased appropriate to each person. These choices are all important to me but certainly isn’t a complete list of my overall personal favorites.

There are some great choices there, @Joe_Bozovich! Of the ones I’ve read, I thought all were excellent. You’ll have to post back after the holidays and let us know which book(s) you got in return!
They all know that I am on top of my interests, so I mostly get Audible credits since I prefer audio books. Madeleine, my only granddaughter knows me extremely well, so we trade book recommends throughout the year.

What I will do is report on their valuations after they have read my gift books. It might take several months before they get a chance to read them.

The book The Impossible Thing by Belinda Baur Is a terrific book for anyone interested in birding.
