A GREAT GUY CHRISTMAS GIFT

Ok, there are only 24 days and roughly 18 hours as of this post left to shop before Christmas.  I am going to perform a stress relieving public service here.

I think we all have a someone on our shopping list that we want to remember in a special way at Christmas but really don't want to spend a bunch on like a  BIL or maybe the current love interest of a child who will be visiting.  Perhaps you have all ready spent a lot on someone ( like a spouse)  but just want something else for them to open.  The answer lies below.



Such a cool cover.  Visit the sight, click on "look inside" once there, then enjoy the tease.

  This book,available at Amazon, was written by one of my favorite blog buddies, GrayQuill. His humor and insights have amused me for quite a while. 

GrayQuill is not a flawless man but like James Herriott, I  find his flaws  and vulnerabilities endearing.  LOLs, knowing smiles, nods of recognition and touching stories lie in these pages.

This is a series of some of his best posts. It is not a book one has to commit a long time to per sitting. Each chapter is a separate story so there is always a stopping place and easy starting place.  Or you could blast right through it like I did. 

Even though I have read most of his stories on his blog, I got lured in  again by the freshened up, polished versions plus there were many I hadn't read yet. Sorry GQ, I came late to the table.

It really is a book a guy can relate to. It is the perfect "glove compartment book". One that he can whip out at the automotive dealers to read while snow tires are being installed. 

Maybe he can  take it with him to make the waiting pleasurable when he has those periodic blood lettings at the doctor's office.  To read while stuck in traffic?? Waiting for fish to bite??  Or if it is your spouse, sitting on that hard mall bench waiting for you to finish shopping? What a guy!! He deserves a treat.  

The great thing is the price. Now I am not flush with disposable income so I do watch my pennies. I generally only get the free Kindle books or library books so for me to buy a book is rare. My only exceptions are for gifts.

The $7.99 price fit into my book budget. Under ten dollars is a firm guide line now days for me.  If you buy a total of $25.00 anywhere else on Amazon at the same time, the shipping is free. And no, I don't own Amazon stock--wish I did.

Ladies, this is not only a guy book but one you will enjoy also as it is a human book and you too will laugh.  I suggest reading it yourself, then giving. I have been quite guilty of enjoying a book first that I intend as a gift. Does that qualify as re-gifting or just uncool?

Regardless, I suggest you also bend your cool a little and read it first. I always feel I am  test driving the gift with a pre-read---just  making sure it is suitable mind you. That is not a lack of good manners or cheap but thoughtful.   I think that last sentence is called "spin." 

Guys, buy it for yourself  but be sure to let your favorite lady read it also. She may  understand you a bit more and actually cut you a little slack in the future.

Read, enjoy, then give.
