Holiday Guide: Book Recs

Looking to gift your loved ones the gift that keeps on giving?


READING!


Below are some book recommendations based on genre/reading preference. I have included shopping links for all budgets.


I highly encourage you to shop local when it comes to books this holiday season. The pandemic has severally affected small businesses, like independent bookstores, and supply chains have affected order fulfillment, as well as the publishing industry. I have included links for Bookshop.org, where you can order directly and your order supports a local independent bookstore. (All my links go to support my local bookstore, Chaper2Books, which is owned by the sweetest old couple.)


I realize, that shopping independent means also spending more, so I have also included Amazon Affiliate shopping links. I try and shop local and independent when I can, but my budget is not infinite, and when it comes to books, sometimes Amazon is the frugal choice. Do what works best for you and your budget.


If you are looking for specific recommendations, please reach out via email at mynightsbooked@gmail.com and I will send you suggestions and shopping links!
