Elizabeth suggested going to my local library and asking about that. I'm going to do just that! :)<br /><br />Using a questionnaire for book club members is a smart idea!

And I mentioned this in the post above.

You can certainly use that to buy books!! :) And you're SO LUCKY to have received books in the past from people who know just how much you love them!

Once, I was given, for my Kris Kringle(Secret Santa?) gift, a cookbook aimed at teenagers just leaving home! After twenty years out of the house! Heck, I could WRITE cookbooks! I’d rather have had soaps or bubble bath! <br /><br />And there is a limit of, in my workplace, about $10 - $15.
