Fantastic gift guide recommendations in every category!🎁✨

[RKStumblingbear]

I love it! If your bookish friend likes books, they want books, not bookish accessories! 💚 I wish more people understood that.

[heatherlilly]

Amen! If you’re wondering what to get a book loving friend: get them Books! I love it! 😊

[secretsauceofstorycraft]

🥰 lovely! I do want books. I also like the variety of genre and ages. As always, 10 thumbs up 👍🏻

[Octobig]

your introduction really made me smile! and coloring books are still books 🎁❄ so many different genres & recs here, ty for another awesome video ❤

[tiboraranyossi]

I refuse to think about Christmas yet, I still have autumn here and enjoying it 🍂🍁

"I Know Who You Are" is fantastic! I listened to the audiobook and it's narrated by the author.

[lena_blue]

Thank you so much for the Blighted Stars recommendation! I got it as a gift for a family member, and then read it too from the library bc I am more of a fantasy reader trying to dip my toes into sci-fi, and wow it was fantastic! Going straight to the second book ❤

[RadiationStyle]

I read Hyperspace 20+ years ago. (I feel old saying that.) The ideas in it formed part of my fascination with theoretical physics and astrophysics; it’s so cool to see you feature it.

[epiphoney]

Illuminae by Kristoff & Kaufman has a pretty cool format for YA scifi.

[isaac_romanov]

Since I neither have children nor plan to have them I skipped the kids section 😜 Now, I don't know how much non-fiction you read, but if it's enough I'd expand that section. Same way you have fantasy, horror, etc. I'd love an expanded non-fiction section on biographies, science, history, or whatever else you're into 🤩 Thanks for all the content!

[comicbelief]

Some really cool recommendations… for myself. Haha I have a different kind of problem. I’m a bookish guy who wants to buy books as gifts for people who don’t read. Very tricky.

[Pevalwen]

Thank you so much for your kind review of The Doom Town Dummies, and for taking the time to read it too! It's very much appreciated!

[alexandrakeckmontanari]

Yay first Happy Thanks giving Rachel and holidays seeing this video made me happy feeling a little blah today my husbands at work my family issues so a book video always helps! 🎉

[katharynbaker]

Added I Will Read to You to my shopping cart for a baby shower gift. 👶📚

[thefuzzybookdragon]

Recommendations: Creatures of the In Between by Cindy Lin, Fox Snare by Yoon Ha Lee, and A Song of Salvation by Alechia Dow.

[BobbyHall-euxv]

I enjoyed The Sword Defiant and I agree it would be a good gift for any fantasy fan. I've already decided that my family will be getting books from me for Christmas (whether they like it or not!) so this was a good video for ideas. I have a rule though, I have to have already read whatever books I gift myself! 😆

[FrankOdonnell-ejhd]

loved land;s maid book so very interested in the new one guess many people have no idea what it's like for a person to be alone with a young child working desperately to escape poverty so appreciate her honesty people don't often think there for the grace of god go I and can be so judgmental noticed the last name of the genetics book's author is venter is she related to craig creator of the genome project anyway happy turkey day to u and all the fans yes know thanksgiving is on a different day up there ⚛😀

[Nixx]

Uu African Samurai will be a gft to myself I think

[Nixx]

Hi, as we had mutual love for "Ymir", I'm currently reading Larson's short story collection "Tomorrow factory", the ones I've already read are very good. I particulary loved "All that robot shit" even if it got my eyes watering on a public transport. Have you already tried reading anything by Nghi Vo?
