The great thing about shopping for gifts for book lovers is you know they'll be happy if you buy them books! However, this gets tricky when you're not entirely sure which books they've already read or what's next on their radar. A gift card may cover your bases, but that's not very fun or personal. So instead of pondering over more books for bibliophiles, why not buy them something a little more unique -- like a mug that provides daily literary quotes, a funky acrylic book holder or the cutest reading light you ever did see?

But it gave her career as an author an extraordinary second wind, the book becoming a bestseller that was longlisted for the Women’s Prize.She follows it up this...
