GiftSleuth

GiftSleuth is a forum where book lovers can help each other find perfect gifts for everyone on their lists. It's easy to use:

1. Post your gift dilemma. (You will need a nickname.) For example:

  • "I am searching for the perfect book for my mother. She was born in 1940 and loves cooking, crafts, and home decorating"
  • "I need to find a gift for a co-worker; I've seen him reading Orwell and Asimov in the lunch room so he must like Sci-Fi!"

    • The more information you can provide about the receiver, the better suggestions you will get.

    *TIP: Be sure to make your topic heading descriptive: include the receiver, your budget, and any other relevant details. (E.g. "Need gift for Mother, enjoys cooking, budget ~ $100.")

    2. Come back often to see the suggestions! (You can also "Subscribe" to a topic - view the FAQ section (at right) to learn more.)

    Finished your shopping? Visit often to give suggestions to others searching for the perfect gift.

    I really recommend both Nella Last's War and Our Hidden Lives.  Both edited from the real diaries of people who wrote for the British Mass Observation Project during the middle of the twentieth century.

    I found Nella Last's Peace less gripping - though it's nice to find out what happened to the people from the first book.  I haven't read We are at War, which is edited by the same person as Our Hidden Lives, Simon Garfield.
