This listicle is gonna be huge, but it’s my top recommendations for each of the categories I actually read. Here’s some books that I recommend you buy for your friends, if you know kind of what they like, but aren’t sure what some good titles are.

I highly recommend you buy through Indiebound or Amazon, both of which I am affiliated with, but I’m a little biased. I really hope your friends will love these books!
