The holidays are just around the corner, and gift-buying slumps are inevitable. Let’s face it—some people are just hard to shop for. They have everything they need, or you simply don’t have ideas on what to get them. This season don’t just pick up a gift card; instead, consider giving the gift of reading. Books allow you to give an immersive experience, and they offer excitement long after you’ve thrown away the gift wrap. Giving a book also allows you to share the books you love with the people you love. Most importantly, it allows you to specifically tailor your gift for someone based on their likes and interests.
