When in doubt, books are a stellar present for the holidays. They’re the gift of time well spent and a new favorite story to dive into, perhaps even a new author, series, or genre rabbithole to spiral into. However, gifting a book is only a success story when they actually enjoy it. That’s the hard part.
Recommending a book can be an intimate thing. You’re putting your taste to the test and hoping that they’ll love your chosen read as much as you do. The stakes are even higher when you’re skipping the recommendation stage and going straight for gifting them a book. When successful, sharing your favorite reads with a loved one can be a beautiful way to spread the love and precede many a gushing conversation as they make their way through to the back cover. Not everyone has the same taste in books as us though, and sometimes for readers who we don’t see eye to eye with (literarily, not literally), we turn to the experts. In this case: NBC’s Jenna Bush Hager. Here’s her top picks for the best books, from essay collections to novels, to gift every bookworm in your life.
