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.

    Along the Tolkien/Rowling line, I like The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley, and its sequels.

    Agree with Pratchet, and I would suggest also The Enchanted Castle and Five Children and It by E. Nesbitt.

    Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield is a gripping fictional account of the Greek stand against Xerxes at Thermopylae.

    An experimental novel that I thought was great, others might disagree, was Shining at the Bottom of the Sea by Stephen Marche.
