Booker43 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi this is my first post here and i'm looking for some advice. It's my girlfriend's birthday next week and I'm looking to get her a good book to top off her gifts. She loves to read, so I know a book is a good idea. She loves fantasy (chronicals of narnia, harry potter, etc.) and love stories (not like those mature soap opera romance novels but classic fiary tale kinda love stories), she's also a huge disney fan. Heres the tough part, she already owns a TON of books, and i'd be afraid to get her something that she already owns. If any of you guys could help me out with a suggestion that would be great, perhaps something thats come out in the last 8-10 months because she didn't really read much then because of school. Or just something thats a great book but not widely known. Any suggestions or any ideas about how I can get her a good book and make it a good birthday present would be awesome. Thanks alot.

Kell Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Ooh, that's a toughie! I'll have to have a bit of a think and get back to you on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Frank Beddor, Looking Glass series and there is a lovely picture book to go with the series Jasper Fforde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ii Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hmmm... I do remember seeing some special Disney books, like not the stories but more about the "behind the scenes" kind of things in the past few years. Maybe something like that would be nice? Those are the kinds of books that one rarely buys oneself, but loves to get... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Why don't you check out the reviews section on here...you might get some ideas!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Maybe The Princess Bride? It was published in 1973, but it might suit your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Maybe The Princess Bride? That's just what I was coming back to suggest! It's an excellent book from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booker43 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thanks guys, i'll look into those. I forgot she also loves acting, so if there are any known books about aspiring young actresses or aspiring young actresses who fall in love in a fantasy setting that'd be perfect haha, but yeah, More suggestions would be great! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an actress who falls in love while in filming a Disney movie and is swept away into a fantasy world? How about a biography of one of her favourite actors/actresses or someone she looks up to and is inspired by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sib Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 How about a P G Wodehouse? They Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booker43 Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks guys. I've figured out what book I'm going to get her! . I found out she's a huge fan of the Twilight book series, so I'm getting her the new novel by that author called "The Host", it was only released on May 6th, so theres no chance of her owning it. I think she'll like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
