What a Book Lover Will Want from Oprah's Favorite Things List

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

"There is no best life for me without books," says Oprah, whose favorite place to read is under the 12 oak trees in her backyard (she calls them "the Apostles"). Over the years, she's learned that books offer so much: a place to feel seen, a glimpse of another world, advice that hits home, a story of an inspiring life, and so much more.

So every year, Oprah selects a number of items from Favorite Things for the bibliophiles on all our lists. And sure, most readers will say a great book is a gift in itself—that's why we have a few titles that will appeal to 20-somethings as much as to 50-somethings.

But we also know that, if pressed, our dedicated reading friends would admit there are a few things that might enhance the experience. Maybe the person you're thinking of would appreciate prompts to help them think more deeply about what they've read, or a place to track every single book that's touched them. Maybe they need a nice cup of tea to accompany their reading. Or the coziest blanket. Or the most lounge-y lounge set. Choose a gift that will allow them to focus on the books they didn't know they needed, the authors they've loved, the lines they'll always remember, and the lessons they'll never forget.
