Book Clubs and Friends:
My first resource is almost always BookPage.com. Right now
they have a fantastic Holiday Catalog for book gifting. Some suggestions from
BookPage include:
Fiction: The Art Forger, The Elephant Keepers’ Children, and
Miss Dreamsville and the Collier Women’s Society.
Other books that are BookPage reviewed which look
interesting…The Stockholm Octavio, Magnificence, and The End of Your Life Book
Club
My book club filled out a Secret Santa questionnaire, in
which book clubbers were encouraged to write their favorite book and their
favorite book genre, this will help guide you to your book pick. And, yes,
there is a website that can assist you. Try Bookbrowse.com, the ReadAlikes
section (which is where you input a book or author and books that are similar
are returned)—how fantastic is that (link below)?
Kids and Adopt Families:
Here, I confess that I have a few children’s favorites: I
love The Penderwicks (great gift for little girls), and anything by Roald Dahl—Matilda
for girls, The BFG or The Witches for boys. Also, Barnes and Nobles has I Can
Read series, and there are some great choices from Pinkalicious to Biscuit
(great prices-typically around $4).
Also still big for kids is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series!
And, another favorite of mine—Rick Riordan and his Heroes of Olympus series.
May your Book Gifting be a success this season, Happy
Holidays!
