Gift Ideas for the Book Lover in Your Life

What do you get the book lover in your life for Christmas? Easy. More books.

However, there is no one-size-fits-all in book gifting, and for that reason, I’d like to recap the authors I’ve featured this year. You’ll find a variety of genres and maybe something perfect for your favorite reader (and maybe for yourself).

Young Adult – Speculative Fiction

• 

• 

• 

For young adult and young-at-heart fans of speculative fiction, I recommend these authors. You can learn more about them on their author spotlight interviews, and all books are available on Amazon.

• Bryan Davis, Heaven Came Down
• Lindsay A. Franklin, The Story Hunter
• Kristen Young, Apprentice

Plus, one of my favorite Christian fantasy authors, Morgan L. Busse, released the final book in her Ravenwood Saga. May I also suggest my dystopian Rogues trilogy for speculative fiction fans?

Young Adult – Other

• 

• 

Does your young adult prefer contemporary settings? In that case, Hope Bolinger might be your next favorite author. I also highly recommend Tessa Emily Hall’s contemporary fiction novels, as well as her latest release: a devotional for teen girls. Learn more about both authors:

• Tessa Emily Hall, Love Your Selfie
• Hope Bolinger, Den

Romantic Suspense

• 

• 

For my fellow fans of romantic suspense, these two authors should be on your TBR list. Laura Thomas’ Orphan Beach is a must-read, and fans of the genre should follow Jerusha Agen. She currently offers a free novella on her website, and I am eagerly anticipating her release next year.

• Laura Thomas, The Orphan Beach
• Jerusha Agen, Introverted

Nonfiction

• 

• 

• 

For the nonfiction reader, check out these resources by several ladies whom I greatly respect. You won’t be disappointed.

• Marlene Houk, Hidden in a List
• Ashley L. Jones, Modern Cast Iron
• Susan Neal, 7 Steps to Get Off Sugar and Carbohydrates

These are just a sampling of the wonderful books I’ve read over the past year whose authors I have the privilege of knowing either from in-person meetings or online interactions. I hope you’ve found something that might bless the book lover in your life.

Merry (almost) Christmas!
