When my family asks me what I want for Christmas, my mind goes blank. Fortunately, they’re pretty good at picking out things for me, and I’ve been saving up my favorites to pass along to you.

Read on if you need suggestions for your own Christmas wish list or to find the perfect gift for bookish friends and family.

The Bookish Sleuth: Mystery Reader’s Journal and Planner  

The Bookish Sleuth is perfect for the mystery reader on your list. It helps you keep track of the books you’d like to read along with the details on the books you’ve already read. It includes a habit tracker, list pages, monthly calendars, bookish quotes, and much more. 

Page Anchor  

I love this little anchor that holds my print books open. It was a gift I received last year, and I’ve used it all year.

Triangle Pillow for Book or Tablet

When I’m using my e-reader–which is a lot!–this triangle pillow (another gift from last year) comes in handy. 

Bookish Tote or Travel Cup

I designed this bookish tote and a travel mug with some of my favorite quotes about reading and libraries. I gave the totes away last year and they were such a big hit that I made them available for sale on Society6.com. The tote comes in three different sizes, too! 

Personalized Gift Subscriptions 

Everyone loves to get a package in the mail, right? So what could be better than hand-selected mysteries that arrive all year long!

My local independent bookstore, Murder by the Book, has some wonderful customized subscription plans. Each month a Murder by the Book staff member will personally pick a title based on the recipient’s reading tastes and mail it out for you. You can even choose which staff member you’d like to pick the titles. For questions, or to start a gift subscription call (713-524-8597) or email at order@murderbooks.com. 

I hope this list has sparked some ideas for your list or to give as gifts. Merry Christmas!
