“Common Questions
Q.Is sarcasm appropriate for a New Year's card to a bookworm?
For many book-lovers, yes! Sarcasm shows you understand their witty, often cynical literary humor. It's more personal than a generic 'Happy New Year.' Just ensure it matches their personality.
Q.Should I reference specific books or genres in the wish?
If you know their favorite genres (e.g., fantasy, mystery, classic lit), a niche joke lands perfectly. If unsure, stick to universal bookworm struggles like towering 'To-Be-Read' piles or lost bookmarks.
Q.When is the best time to send a New Year card to a bookworm?
Anytime around New Year's is fine. Consider sending it a few days early—it gives them a fun break from their holiday reading marathon and ensures it arrives before the January reading slump (or ambitious reading goals) begin.
