Need help choosing a gift for the book lover on your list? Our go-to book expert can help

As we head into the gift-giving season, books can be a great option. For one thing, they’re easy to wrap.

But they can be a puzzle. What do you get for the history lover in your life? Maybe your spouse loves to bake, but you don’t know a whisk from a spatula. Or maybe they’ve already bought and devoured the latest John Grisham. What should they read next?

Our go-to book expert, Traci Thomas, creator of "The Stacks" podcast, loves to make book recommendations.

If you're having trouble deciding which book to pick up for a loved one, Thomas can help. The more detail you can provide about your gift recipient, the better.
