Books can be a gift of a little escape for the mind and inspiration that colors one’s life going forward. I’ve rounded up some lovely books to gift loved ones or yourself. Hopefully most are available to speed your way in time for Christmas if you order online — I’ve linked each of my picks below. Otherwise, run to a book shop and scoop them up. HAPPY HOLIDAYS P.S. See my Books Gift Guide from last year and other Gift Guides for more nice ideas!
