”Politics and the English Language " - perfect for my language teacher colleagues -ordered a couple of them - thank you so much for the tip!

[@LuciaMontesEN]

I love The Lottery, definitely a great read for people who want to get more into reading.

[@natashamacrae]

Thank you so much for this excellent gift guide! I hadn't thought about magazines or zines before, but they would make such great gifts.

[@ThisIsNotInUseOkay]

Lovely ideas for budget book gifts! Thanks :)

[@KatelynGames97]

"The Lottery" was the first book I read for Uni, it's an amazing read! I need to look into the Mini Modern Classics for a gift (to myself) and some of my friends. Great suggestions!

[@OakiLory]

OMG I bought the 80p ones at the Bucharest Book Fair specifically for gifting, they're amazing! And they kept the price!

[@edelwaugh]

A lovely selection of books! Thanks for the ideas! I send gifts to my friends too so these are perfect!

[@Bizzinator4]

How do you feel about giving used books? In the US it can be harder to find beautiful inexpensive Penguin classics, but I have fond tons of books at thrift stores and used book stores. Since they are usually only a few dollars I can give a little collection of books as a gift that way.

[@booksandquills]

+Michelle Bizzell I think that's a great idea! Especially if you can do something fun to wrap them together with a bow or something :)

[@Bizzinator4]

+booksandquills That would be so cute! :) I love to include a note as to why I think the person will like it.

[@pagesandtea5805]

I need to send this video to my entire family. I don't have super bookish friends, so everyone needs to consider these recommendations for me ;)

[@feyrytales]

Lovely suggestions! Really budget-friendly, very useful. And ohh yeah I know that struggle of trying to find light-weight gifts to send to friends overseas, but sometimes it's a fun challenge :)

[@BohoBookworm]

This is so helpful! Thank you! The Unknown Unknown sounds great! Can't believe how cheap some of these are! 80p!! If only... because of import charges, everything is crazily expensive in South Africa!

[@liz1dancer]

Managed to find something for my brother now, THANK YOU!

[@WreckThatMargin]

I always end up getting people books for Christmas and spending too much on them, even when I know that they do not appreciate book. A book-lover's plight; I just want everyone to love them!

[@hannahcatherine3271]

thank you so much for doing this video, I've been trying to find some cute stocking fillers for my family and friends and this is perfect xx

[@LaurenB94]

I was on amazon recently and saw Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. is under £3 now! It's so cheap! I'd definitely recommend buying!

[@DeeDeeCatMom]

Your whole list was fantastic! I haven't seen many of those in Canada, but I'll be looking out for them :)

[@Cynthia-do4fr]

Ahhhh The Lottery! I love it!

[@divakimmy]

[@sadiasaleem9033]

Best. Video. Ever.

[@DogsandVlogs]

Thank you so much for making this video! Do you have any Dutch book recommendations, my friend has been getting into learning the language and they would love a dutch book :D

[@davewalton8737]

[@laurpinhead]

[@acaciairving]

Can you be my friend to send me beautiful books from Europe as here in Maine we can find anything so wonderful! There are so many I want here for myself lol. Thank you I loved this video

[@yochan-ni2hj]

very very cute !! i love you

[@martha-4637]

wait why is the George Orwell for a dad or grandad? just for men? i don't get it... :/

[@booksandquills]

+Martha - It isn't just for men obviously, but since I find dads and grandads quite tricky to buy for, I thought this would be a good suggestion.

[@brigid6626]

Hey, is oh comely sold in shops in the UK or do you have to buy it online? Great video by the way, it's really handy xx

[@booksandquills]

+Four liars and a thief Thanks :) I found my copy at WH Smith

[@Suntello777]

Sorry if you have already answered this question before, but where are you from? You don't sound like you grew up in the UK

[@myrkagamez9092]

Its $7.53 in the us for every 5 pounds!1

[@klanny22]

9 minutes ago, and I'm not even subscribed, just looking about the mini black classics. Quite coincidental. As a 15 year old who's never properly read, and even then I'm more into history and non fiction rather than fiction, does anybody recommend it or should I just stick to history which is what I enjoy?

[@AuroraWhispers]

+TheKlanMan Why not try historical fiction? :P

[@drewg.4779]

I think you'd really like The Book Thief by Marcus Zuzak, it's a YA historical fiction about world war 2 that's really popular. It's a bit long (~550 pages), but if that doesn't intimidate you you should give it a try. Night by Eli Wiesel is a nonfiction book about the holocaust, and it's really short. I don't read much historical fiction, but if you're interested in book outside of that some popular books are Harry Potter (YA/children's fantasy), anything by John Green or Rainbow Rowell (YA contemporary), or Ready Player One or The Martian (adult sci-fi).

[@sania730]

you should read Crusade in Jeans, which is written by one of my and Sanne's fave authors.

[@eufreaka]

Blackout and all clear by connie Willis! 😊😊👌
