Even when I was a little kid, books were my favorite presents on Christmas morning. I still remember getting Romona books, then Christopher Pike, the Nancy Drew Case Files, and eventually Anne Rice books, etc.
If you follow Novel Novice at all, then you probably agree that books make great presents!
To help you figure out what book to get for whom, we’ve put together an extensive list of titles and categories. Below you’ll find Part I. (Be sure to check back all this week for more!) We’ve also linked to our reviews/coverage of titles to further help you decide.
