The Book of You
is a collection of sticky note size, short declarations of love and affection called "Youisms". Each "youism" occupies its own page in this colorful collection, and a space is left for the reader to write their own message to the you in their life--or feel free to borrow the words of love found in the book and make them your own. Yes, you can write in this book! Perfect for Valentines Day, an anniversary gift, or any time you feel like speaking from the heart. Here's what author Niki Byram says about how this collection came to be: "Years ago, I became fascinated by all the number of ways people describe "You", in short snippets of meaningful words, phrases and sentences. I decided to collect them, and when I saw new ones which spoke to me I wrote them in a spiral notebook and entitled it The Book of You.
As time moved forward, and my collection of these short quotes grew, I began writing a few originals of my own. The flow increased as I became more confident in my own writing ability. Of course, it helped having a "You" to write about! Eventually, I shortened these collected quotes and called them "Youisms". The more personal notes wound up on sticky notes posted here and there, but also in lunch bags and boxes, under pillows, in dresser drawers, left under windshield wipers, handwritten on the back windows of cars—in reverse, so the driver could see my thoughts for the day—and in steamy mirrors over the vanity so they would be seen after showering the next morning.
