November BYOB(ook) List: Books to Give to Anyone on your List

I loved the time I spent with this month’s BYOB(ook) readers. November’s group was made up of old and new friends who shared one thing in common- their love of books and reading!

As always, I left this month’s prompt very open ended and with that, we all brought a range of titles that would make for excellent gifts during this season of giving.

Below are our suggestions. Also- I grouped this month’s suggestions into categories. If specific titles below don’t work for the people on your list, it’s possible the category itself will bring a title you would love to share to your mind!

Happy Reading & gifting!
