Once again, it's that time of year where we have to brave the malls, searching for the perfect gift for that special (or not so special) someone. We all know how difficult it can be to shop for a genre book lover. Don't bother buying the latest or most popular book--we already have it. You could try for a gift card, but how unoriginal.
Top 10 Tuesday is inspired by the Broke and the Bookish.
It's hard. I know. Well, my friends and family know. Anyways, I'm here to help. I've taken it upon myself to help you find the perfect gift for the reader in your life.
