Buy a Stranger a Book is such a simple and wonderful idea.
Thank you for Tom’s book (big fan).
My birthday is in January and that’s when I’ll return the favour. I’ll get gifts and, hopefully, so will someone else!

I will, thank you so much, and thank you @clairecopperman.bsky.social
for your generosity.
I’ll pay it forward and buy a stranger a book in January.

It's exhausting trying to avoid replies that make me appear a weirdo crackpot.
But a short hair-style needs cut every few weeks, so every standard social query must be tackled at some point throughout the year.
Got better at providing the expected response over time, but it’s all lies.

And there’s the wee lad in front, with the smiling dog, in an all-girls school.

Ok, this is something I need to learn more about!
