Yup. Totally agree. We just visited our youngest in Brussels and he took us to Waterstones, such a treat! When we left, he mentioned he shouldn't do that anymore because I'd buy all the gift ideas he has for me. I told him not to worry, as there are still tons of books in there. LOL
Some friends, who didn't know me as well as they thought they did, bought me a new hardback because they thought it was 'just my thing' - which it was. Which is also why I had already bought it the day it came out - not months later when they bought it for me..... Ooops! If friends want to buy me books they're well aware that its Wish List ONLY time!! [grin]

My Wish List only grows. But people have definitely learnt their lesson about buying thing they 'think' I might like without consulting it first!!!
You've educated them well, then. ;)

Always a good idea to ask a fanatic reader which books they want. I often get books I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Chick lit, for instance. Yuck.
