Book Lover Gifts for 2023

Book lover gifts for your favorite readers and traveling readers {and yourself, because there’s nothing wrong with beta-gift-testing}.

On the slim, oh so slim, chance that you’ve missed my other gift guide blog posts, 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 BEEEGIN!

Mystery Book Lover gifts

1/ The Lucy Foley Three ~ The Guest List | The Hunting Party | The Paris Apartment

 

Mystery books but without the thrill - “crawl into your daughters, or dogs, 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. And loved this one for it’s 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 in on a cold winter’s night

9/ For the simply & understated graphics ~ “Just One More Chapter” sweatshirt

10/ Wine colored T-shirt {ya know, 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 – and 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 writing. I have almost her entire collection of Rom-Com’s {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

16/ The Bromance Book Club ~ First book in a series of 3. A fun series flipping athlete stereotypes like a pancake {in the 3 books there are some serious steamy pages, so if that makes you uncomfortable - skip those pages - but read these books 😁}

17/ After I Do ~ Another TJR gem! An unconventional plan for a marriage that has fizzzzzed over into like and annoyance. Saying, “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 {Grandma’s, 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 atheistic 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/ Peepers Readers ~ Blue light readers have gotten an upgrade - a really cute upgrade. I keep pairs inmy nightstand, coffee table and purse these days 🤦🏽‍♀️

 
headphones, candle, journal, library cards
 

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 lover 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 the September Books on my Guide Page 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, from different walks of life come together.


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. ☕️ 🍷
