Contexte culturel
The 'Castle of Light' (Gaismas pils) is the national library and a symbol of the power of books in Latvian culture. Giving books as gifts is very common for birthdays and Name Days (Vārda dienas). Latvian 'Bookstagram' is a vibrant community on social media where people share photos of their 'interesanta grāmata'. The first book printed in Latvian was a catechism in 1585, making the history of the 'Latvian book' over 400 years old.
The 'Rhyme' Rule

Watch the Case
If you are doing something TO the book (reading it, buying it), change the ending to '-u' (interesantu grāmatu).
