Already getting a head-start on your holiday shopping? This month, we’ve put together a Gift Guide for Book Lovers! Read on for a list of “tried and true” recommendations made by our girls in the Hatch Book Club. We figure if one of our gal pals gave these selections a positive review, one of yours might too.
Books That Will Get You A Five-Star Review:
For the girl who loves murder-mystery novels
- An addictive “who dun it?” thriller that centers around guests who experience an unexpected death at a prestigious wedding, told from multiple points of view.
For the girl who loves memoirs
A Piece of Cake, by Cupcake Brown
- The unbelievable story of one woman’s journey through childhood trauma, foster care, drug addiction, homelessness, and prostitution. By the end, you’ll be amazed at how she survived it all.
For the girl who loves historical fiction
All The Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr
- This one is a slow read, but a good one nonetheless! In it, readers discover how differently World War II impacted the lives of two children growing up thousands of miles apart, and yet how it intertwined their lives just the same.
For the girl who loves health and wellness
The Happy Hormone Guide, by Shannon Leparski
- The author either convinces you to switch to a completely plant-based diet or at least gives you a few great recipes to mix into your present lifestyle. It’s also beautifully designed and makes for a great coffee table book.
Non-Book Gifts For Your Well-Read Friends To Enjoy:
A puzzle inspired by the world of Jane Austen
- Puzzles became all the rage during the peak of the pandemic, and we don’t think they are expected to dip in popularity anytime soon. Check out this super cute 1,000 piece puzzle from Uncommon Goods that features all your favorite characters from Pride & Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and more.
A library card turned into a tote bag
- Check out this other great find from Uncommon Goods. Our theory is the more adorable tote bags we have, the more likely we are to actually remember to bring them inside the grocery store, and not left forgotten in the trunk of our cars. Here’s hoping!
A candle that pairs well with one of the literary greats
- Here’s one more reason to click, “add to cart” on Amazon. Paddywax Candle’s Library Collection features fragrances inspired by famous authors like Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and William Shakesphere. Each candle comes in a flat, rectangular tin container, which is a nice shift from your traditional candle votive.
An aesthetically-pleasing bookmark set
- Your bookworm friends will never have to dog-ear pages of their paperbacks again! Each set comes with fifteen small magnetic bookmarks in various color palettes, and are incredibly affordable.
