Book Gift Idea For Teenager
« on: March 09, 2016, 01:01:24 PM »
I'm looking for a recent book title to give as a gift for a young teenager, probably a novel or something like it
I don't follow the Jewish book market so I have no clue of new releases

Thanks

That is one way to look at it. The other way to look at it is to say, hey, I know you are a teenager. My taste is not what teenagers like these days. Here is a good certificate, because I really love you and I want you to get what YOU like. Not what I like or what the world likes.

Reminds me of the multiple sets of Seforim and gifts I got for my Bar Mitzvah. When I got home I realized the uncles who really loved me did not write on the first page so that I can't exchange them. They wrote on the card.

If you live near a Jewish book store, go in and give them your price range, and ask them. They have the best feel for the market, especially if you want s/t new. Just make sure it's returnable/exchangable!

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
