Tis the season to buy books, fa la la la la la la la la! If you’re looking for gift ideas for the book nerd in your life, you’ve come to the right place. Whether its a book, a book accessory, or a stocking stuffer, this post is full of gift ideas for the book lovers and readers in your life. Though this book does contain a few Children’s and YA titles and gift ideas, I’ll have a full separate post with additional titles!

Giftable Books
The highest honor I can give a book is giving it as a gift. If I’m buying a book for a loved one and they haven’t specifically requested that title, I will have read that book and given it five stars.

Some of these are light, some are heavy, and some are a mix. I’ll include a link to my Bookshop.org list, where you can find all of these titles and their full descriptions.
