I recently noticed a funny pattern: I go through periods of time where I gift the same book to various people.
Regardless of the occasion (birthday, it made me think of them, just because) or regardless of the person (friend, family, co-worker, paramour – >!one time on a second date 🫣🤣!<), I give the same book to different people.
Of course, sometimes I tailor the book to the person to whom I’m gifting it, but for me, some books transcend tastes or preferences.
For many years, my go-to book to gift people was *Pachinko*, by Min Jin Lee. I also gave a lot of people *Heart Talk*, by Cleo Wade. Also *Heavy*, by Kiese Laymon.
Currently, it’s *Easy Beauty*, by Chloe Cooper Jones.
**What are yours?**
