The Ultimate Booklover’s Guide to Christmas <3
Christmas shopping is hard, I get it. Especially when your best friend refuses to share her goodreads account with you because she wants to be surprised by your taste. So, here’s a list of potential christmas presents curated by an avid bookworm.
The perfect gift for a nocturnal reader:
“I’m a slightly old-fashioned reader, which means that I prefer to do all my reading in bed,” says writer Molly McGhee. “There’s something about being horizontal that makes a book that much better.” For late-night readers like herself, McGhee recommends this “true game changer” of a reading light. “The amber hue keeps the blue-light blues at bay,” she says. “Plus, I don’t wake my partner up while I’m reading, and I can wind down without feeling like I’m staring at a screen.”
Another gift for nocturnal readers:
This sculptural accordion lamp from Lumio designed by Max Gunawan, reminds me of origami, perfect for adding an artistic flair to any room. It’s also incredibly space saving because it looks just like a normal hardcover book when closed. It’s ideal for an already-book-covered nightstand and comes in lots of shades so you can pick one that suits your recipient (or you!) best.
A gift to help make reading more comfortable:
Himimi Store Bamboo Laptop Desk
If you prefer to do your reading in bed or on the couch, This laptop desk is perfect. For those who want to remain in bed while reading a 700-page masterpiece, I really recommend a foldable desk with a tilt. I speak from experience when I say that this desk encapsulates all the romance of lazy-Sunday reading with none of the wrist strain.
The perfect thriller to get engrossed in:
The Silent Patient is immersive and hypnotic— the kind of suspenseful mystery so perfectly adorned with confidence that it doesn’t need big, flashy twists to keep you hooked… but also one that delivers an ingenious twist or two anyway. If you’re looking for a thrilling read that will have you flipping pages continuously till 5 am, this book may just be it for you.
