Because I am a reader and a writer, chances are if you’re on my gift list, you’re going to get a book for Christmas! I have some serious readers in my circle of friends and family, and I am very particular about the books I give them. Fortunately, for all the readers in the world, there is always something to choose from, whether it’s an anticipated new release (
The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek
), or a small, quiet book from my past (
The Two Pound Tram
) that I know others will also appreciate.
Sometimes, I end up finding one book that I know everyone will love. Last year it was
Matka
, by Sarah Hanley. The year before that it was
The Forgetting Tree
by Tatjana Soli. And this year? Well, now, if I tell you, it won’t be a surprise, will it? But if you really want to know,

To help you find the perfect book for everyone on your list, I’ve compiled a list of
101 books I love. There is a little bit of everything: general fiction, historical fiction, science, historical non-fiction, middle-grade and young adult, suspense, cozy mystery, sweet romance, biographies, and of course books about dogs. Enjoy!
