Contexto cultural
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
In the nominative case, both words end in '-a'. If they don't 'rhyme', check your gender agreement!
Watch the Case
If you are doing something TO the book (reading it, buying it), change the ending to '-u' (interesantu grāmatu).
