BookReporter.com is running a series of daily guest blog posts from authors who reflect on and share their favorite memories of giving or receiving a book at the holidays.
International best-selling author Mary Higgins Clark reminisces about the books that she was overjoyed to find under the Christmas tree during her childhood, while her daughter and co-writer, Carol Higgins Clark, theorizes that her most popular character, private detective Regan Reilly, may have had her roots in books given to her as a young girl. And we've been told that upcoming blogs include David Baldacci’s story of gifting a rare copy of Sophie’s Choice once owned by Truman Capote -- to the novel’s author himself.
Everyone who loves books knows how important they are in our lives, and it's wonderful to read these brief essays by authors on how certain books have affected them, especially during the holidays.
While you're on BookReporter.com's site, check out their 45 reasons why a book makes a perfect gift. Some are practical, some are fun. Our favorite so far (from yesterday): A book doesn't require directions.
