Some people would rather have chocolates and roses as gifts on Valentines Day. Avid readers? Not so much. They want a good book, something delicious to drink next to them, a cozy blanket and quiet so they can read.
If you’re shopping for the person who would rather read a good book than head out to a crowded restaurant, then this guide is for you.
Books They’ll Actually Read
It’s impossible to go wrong with a book, especially one that’s been hand-picked.
When you’re trying to find the best book as a Valentine's Day gift, it pays to understand what your loved one likes to read to unwind.
Romance readers who love slow burn and emotional depth in their stories
Cozy mystery fans who enjoy comfort reads with a touch of intrigue
Fantasy lovers who are looking for worlds to immerse themselves in
Horror fans who enjoy their Valentine’s Day just a little on the dark side
Paperbacks, hardcovers, special editions and boxed sets feel more gift-worthy than just ebooks, and make a beautiful addition to your loved ones bookshelves.
