First, Book Reporter tells us all the many reasons why books are the perfect gift!
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks author (and National Book Award nominee) E. Lockhart's recommended list for "boyfriend and teenagers."
Our own Little Willow blogs on sparknotes.com about the right book picks for all sorts of recipients, plus book-related gift ideas (think literary music mixes, writing journals, and multiple copies of a title for a new book club!)
Amor and Summer Secrets author Diana Rodriguez Wallach brings us The 12 Books of Christmas!
Yahoo!'s SHINE recommends gifts for the literary fan.

Happy holidays, everyone!
Thanks for the link. :)
Thanks for the list ladies. I am always on the look out for great books.

Books make great gifts because they can be thoughtful, and sometimes also thought-provoking. Like a card they can convey sentiment, feelings of humour; but they are so much more than a card! They can help people to say things that may they otherwise find so hard to put into words.
