Book Lover Gifts
Book lover gifts for your favorite readers and traveling readers {and never forget yourself, because there’s nothing wrong with beta-gift-testing}.
On the slim, oh-so-slim, chance that you’ve missed my other gift guides, here’s a recap to help you shop early - shop easy - and shop for the best gifts.
Let the Book – and book-adjacent – gift ideas BEEEEEEEGIN!
Mystery Book Lover gifts
1/ Lucy Foley’s Gift of Mystery Writing ~ The Guest List | The Hunting Party | The Paris Apartment
Mystery books but without the thrill - “crawl into your daughter’s - or dog’s - bed” kind of reads.
2/ Wrong Place Wrong Time ~ What if you could spin back time to save your son? You may have to go WAYYYYY back to do it all on your own. And you have no idea where it’s going because of the secrets others kept.
3/ Finlay Donovan Is Killing It ~ If you want a LAUGH-OUT-LOUD mystery series, then CLICK NOW! This is the first book of 4 {book 4 out March 2024}. I loved the relationship between Finlay and friend/nanny, Vero! The quips between the two make you forget it’s a mystery book and not a hilarious friend novel.
4/ The Club ~ The Club all the elite are dying to get into, but getting out {alive} seems a challenge too. Figuring out who is behind each demise {and why} brings the twist in this one.
5/ The Last Thing He Told Me ~ Hannah Hall gets a note from her vanishing husband. Two words only…“Protect her” and the mystery begins…oooo + really good mystery!
6/ The Maid ~ Molly the Maid tries to keep her life in a “state of perfection,” but life shatters around her in this hotel mystery. Loved this one for its twist of how you should NEVER underestimate anyone’s glorious special traits!
7/ Mother-Daughter Murder Night ~ When your mom moves in with you + your teen daughter, what better way to bond than over a murder {that said teen is a “person of interest” in}.
Book Lover Gifts in Clothes
8/ Get Your Cozy On ~ Soft + cozy sweatshirt to read and wine on a cold winter’s night
9/ For the simple & understated graphics ~ “Just One More Chapter” sweatshirt
10/ Wine colored T-shirt {in case you know a spiller who reads😉}
11/ Fuzzy Socks with Sass ~ So much sass for only 2 feet
Rom-Com Book Favorites
12/ Second First Impressions ~ A rom-com plot classic – old soul meets wild rebel. Any rom-com reader is going to love how these 2 bounce off each other.
13/ Book Lovers ~ Can you read the same book and wonder if you both read the same book? That’s a YES. Nora and Charlie have to make a book match in the backdrop town of the book Nora loved & Charlie meh-ed. These 2 are adorable!
14/ My {not so} Perfect Life ~ This book started my crush on Sophie Kinsella’s writing. I have almost her entire collection of rom-coms {and still have not read Confessions of a Shopaholic – it might hit a little too close to my debit card😅}
15/ People We Meet on Vacation ~ Charming, quirky friendship starts in college with the building tension of 2 unlikely friends weaving around all the other people they meet on their trips (can you tell I like Emily Henry yet?😉)
16/ The Bromance Book Club ~ First book in a series of 3. A fun series flipping athlete stereotypes like a pancake {warning: there are some serious steamy times across the series, so if that makes you uncomfortable - skip those pages - but DEFINITELY read these books 😁}
17/ After I Do ~ Another TJR gem! An unconventional plan for a marriage that has fizzzzzled out into like and annoyance. Testing “distance makes the heart grow fonder” is the decision Lauren and Ryan make to see if they can fall back into love.
Random Gifts for A Book Lover
18/ Check-Out Old School Style ~ E loans out her collection all the time and I’m seeing this under her tree {Grandmas, you can thank me later 😉}
19/ My Weekend is Booked Bag ~ NO! No, you cannot have too many bags!
20/ Pick-Your-Book-Box ~ Sip Between the Lines and shop for a secret book. You just need to know their genre.
21/ Paddywax Library ~ Austin, Twain, Steinbeck and others {brings a nostalgic book aesthetic to the shelves, but NOT the musty smell of old books}
22/ Stylish + Colorful Headphones ~ Airplane reading – or listening – makes these a necessity {Thrice as necessary if your seat sits over the engine-wing. These babies drown out the non-stop whirrrrring}
23/ Write Instead of Read ~ A blank journal with 462 things to spark writing ideas. For the reader and writer on the list.
24/ Tequila Mockingbird ~ The recipe read to make perfect themed drinks for the next book club night {‘Are You There God, It’s Me Margarita’ or ‘Bridget Jone’s Daiquiri’}
25/ Readers ~ Blue light readers have gotten an upgrade - a really cute upgrade. I keep pairs in my nightstand, travel carry-on, and purse these days 🤦🏽♀️
Historical Fiction Book Lovers
26/ The Chanel Sisters ~ The iconic Coco Chanel + a book = Best of two glimpses {Here is my review on Book Guides for a peek before you buy}
27/ Wish You Were Here ~ We made it through a historical event {a pandemic} and Jodi Picoult penned a Covid page-turner {I always love reading how and where she gets her inspirations + research from at the end of her books}.
28/ The Alice Network ~ We’re women, and we get things done! New war-time books that focus on the brave and unbelievable sacrifices of women will always get me turning the page. {Scroll to my Glimpse of Good Books to see a quick review for this one.}
29/ The Rose Code ~ My October pick + another Kate Quinn book authoring the story of more brave women using their talents in wartime. Three women who normally wouldn’t have met come together from different walks of life.
Side Book/ Learning to Love Midlife:: 12 Reasons life gets better with age. Inspirational book when you’re starting a whole new adventure, or even embracing change of any kind as we age.
If you’re looking for book {or audio} inspiration all year long, visit my Glimpse of Good Books page.
I add my travel favorites that I bring along on trips to that page all year long
You’re all set and ready to start – or finish – your holiday shopping! Even if you’re not in gift-mode yet, grab a new read {or listen} for your next trip.
Winter is coming, and it’s time to cozy-on-up. ☕️ 🍷
