This week's W.G. asks:


This is the season where we are not only battling to get the gifts we want in time for the big day but it’s also the time where we have to find the perfect hiding place to put said gift.




Some of us might be lucky enough to be able to use the same cubby hole year after year, but as the kids grow older or huddy or wife starts getting more ambitious with their searching so it becomes your mission to find a newer and better hiding place.






But what about those hiding place we use month after month, day after day that are just for those book that you don't want to leave on the bookshelves for the mother-in-law to see or those books that the kids are definately not ready for or even those books that are so near to your heart that you could not bear them being tarnished by the grubby little mitts of friends and family.






Are you using your sock draws as I am for some of my risqué material or do you use the row behind the main row on the bookshelf. Wherever you are hiding your stash of book – tell us?




Find out from your readers as well where they are keeping theirs, you might pick up a tip or two when your latest hiding place is the first place the kids look this weekend.

As far as Christmas is concerned, I do buy my children books as gifts each year. These are hidden in the basement along with the other presents.



From my own personal stash, I do have one book that I hide year round. It's my personally signed copy of Dean Koontz' The Taking. A few years ago I wrote him a fan letter telling him how much I enjoyed his work, The Taking being my favorite. I also crocheted him a little elephant and sent it with the letter. I didn't expect anything in return, but a few weeks later a package arrived at my doorstep. He wrote back thanking me for the letter and the elephant and included a signed hardcover edition of The Taking. I almost fainted...lol.




Needless to say, the book and the note are kept tucked away in a little plastic bin that I keep on the top shelf in my closet. Ironically enough, I don't need to hide it. My hubby and kids aren't falling over themselves trying to get to the signed book...lol. I just like to know it's tucked away safe and sound.















What about you? Do you have a book stash?

Enjoy your Saturday!
