It’s been a funny year but Christmas is on its way and there is no better gift than a book so I’ve pulled together some gift guides to help you along. I’ve narrowed it down to ten books but if you’re after more inspiration, there are more on my Bookshop.org shop.
This is the first in the series – a carefully curated top 10 books to inspire you to buy for the grown ups in your life. Keep a look out for more gift guides coming soon!
Disclosure: If you buy books linked to my blog, I may earn a commission from Bookshop.org, whose fees support independent bookshops.
