Books Make Great Gifts...

It’s that time of year and I have scoured websites and bookstores far and wide to curate a new shopping list for the book lover(s) in your life! While I would not recommend that anyone in their right mind give me an actual psychical book (gifts cards for books, absolutely), they make very special presents. For that reason, I have gathered for you recommendations tailored to a wide mixture of people you may have in your life. Here you will find a kaleidoscope of experiences to live through vicariously in the coming months of winter. Some will be groundbreaking or life changing. Others may provoke thought or render speechlessness. Others may induce fits of laughter or bouts of tears. And many, if not all, will offer up a bountiful medley.
