25 Thoughtful Gifts for Every Book Lover In Your Life
This year, we've learned a pandemic will make a reader out of just about anyone. With fewer social engagements and restricted travel plans, many of us are spending more time at home, making the act of reading—and escaping into the pages of a book—more appealing than ever. Recent book sale statistics confirm more and more Americans are picking up books to fill the time and find comfort: In August 2020, year-over-year sales of print books in the U.S. were up 13%, according to NPD BookScan, which tracks book sales across the U.S.
And VERANDA editors are no different, which is why we launched our Sip and Read Book Club earlier this year—follow us on Instagram at @verandamag for news about each monthly book selection and accompanying cocktail recipe, as well as for the opportunity to ask questions to each month's author. In the meantime, here are our 25 best gifts for book lovers, from the year's top books to give as gifts to charming accessories for his or her next cozy reading sesh. Happy reading!
