Nothing makes me happier than finding the perfect book for the perfect person.
I had a hard time when my dad remarried 4 months after my mom died. The woman is very nice and it wasn't about her but it just kind of felt wrong. I was still grieving and he's talking about getting married.
They were visiting us one time and she saw a book on my shelf and said she loved that author. I realized that she liked to read too. She mostly read Christian nonfiction books. As I got to know her better I started to get an idea of the kind of books she liked. I was reading this one series and this one particular book really seemed to be the perfect book for her. It's a faith based mystery series but the books don't have to be read in order and each book can really be read as a stand-alone novel. I sent that book to her and she loved it.
Later on I was reading another one and it had a picture of a crocheted angel on the front made with thread like a doily. It looked so familiar to me but I didn't know where I'd seen it before. I crochet so I searched all over the internet trying to find the pattern for it and wasn't having much luck. I just felt like I had to find it so I could make one and put it in the book and send it to my step mom. Then finally I saw a mention of it being in an old magazine. I checked and sure enough, I had that magazine. She loved it and the book. After that I sent her all of the rest of the series as I read them. She's happily reading them now. Now I need to find another series like that so I can send them on to her.
