What would you do if you wanted to buy a book for someone, but didn't know what they like to read? Would you ask them? Would you choose something you, yourself, like? How would you go about buying them something?
This is actually quite an easy one for me to start off with! Generally, I tend to ask people what sort of genres they like and ask for examples of books they've read in the past. Then, if I've heard of any of those books, I'll try to find ones that are similar and that I also liked. I am a bit selfish in that way- I like to pick books that I've read so that we can have future fangirling sessions!
What's your view?
