You're amazing!
Nah. Feel like an ungrateful cow at the moment! My friend asked a week or 2 before my birthday what books I would like for my birthday and Christmas so I asked for the new Hunger Games book and anything by Brandon Sanderson. His package arrived a couple of days ago in a state so the postie handed it over in a plastic bag. Just sat and sorted presents out and the paper moved and I spotted the author. I have all of his books and have had them around 10 years, hence me not mentioning him! Why ask me what authors I would like if you're going to ignore me, especially knowing how many books I have!?!
Oh, can you change them at all?
I read your post but I have to side with Suzi. You are amazing. I remember going to a birthday party from a co worker. And he asked me before what I drank. So I told him a dutch alcoholic beverage with coke. He said oh bacardi? So I said no. I get massive headaches from that. And when I got there. He came to me and said I got you bacardi haha. Did that make me ungrateful? Nope. Made him inconsiderate.
I don't know where he got them from.
Could J subtly find out?
He'd want to know why. This is why I suggested Brandon Sanderson as I don't have anything by him and I know I'm hard to buy for when it comes to books. It's why I have an app with them all on as I can't remember what I have! And even then I forget as my to read books aren't on there. I know I sound ungrateful but I can't see why he asked me if he wasn't going to listen.
Maybe he forgot what you said?
It was via text so he could have checked back. I just feel guilty and frustrated that he's pretty much wasted his money. And he's going to be excited about me liking my present so I'm going to have to lie to him too as saying I've already got them will upset him. But then me not being truthful will probably upset him too so what the hell do I do??
Tell the truth. It’s cool you can arrange to exchange them.
