I get the chance to talk about books and it is one of my favorite topics to converse about. Sharing book insights allows me to articulate what I liked about that book as well as what I didn't like. I seek out book recommendations from people, online sources, bookstores, librarians, authors, wherever I can find them.
It also seems that you learn something about the person giving you the recommendation and that is intriguing to me also. When giving the chance I jump to share my recent good reads with others and so should you!
**and I must share two recent good reads that were recommended to me
The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
recommended to me by Elizabeth Dillow
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
recommended by Books on the Nightstand
oh, I love, love, loved The Lover's Dictionary! And I am currently waiting for The Night Circus to arrive at my doorstep.
Reading that you like recommendations makes my librarian's heart happy. And, you're right...you do learn something about the recommender if you pay attention.
