What to Gift Book Lovers | 2016 Gift Guide

[@anaromanelli1391]

These are such good ideas! The Map and the Clock will probably be going on my own wishlist. Have a lovely weekend! x

[@JeansThoughts]

The Map and the Clock is so lovely isn't it - such a nice one to flick through as well as tackle from beginning to end! Glad you enjoyed the video, you too! - Jean

[@BeautyandtheBook]

I love the Good Things are Happening book! That is such a sweet idea! You film the best videos.

[@JeansThoughts]

It is lovely isn't it. I think it's a really positive way to settle your mind regardless of how good or bad the day has been.

[@thewordsthewoods]

That graphic novel looks gorgeous!

[@inpursuitofbooks2654]

Oh my gosh those candles you linked in the description - i've been trying to hunt down an etsy shop that is UK based that does that kind of thing for ages!!!!!! Thank you, thank you thank you :D

[@JeansThoughts]

That was how I felt! It's so hard to find fun literary candles from UK etsy stores, so many of them are from the US or Australia. But these were great. I gave my friend Rivendell and The Shire and she loved them.

[@inpursuitofbooks2654]

I just ordered The Great Hall and Antique books - cannot wait for them to arrive!!

[@chboskyy]

Great list Jean! And just checked out that candle shop you linked in the description and I'm in love! 😍

[@JeansThoughts]

They are amazing right! I think I need to treat myself, enough of this gifting nonsense aha. The lord of the rings ones I bought for my friend were wonderful.

I really enjoyed watching this video. Can you do a second part please? Love from Algeria 🇩🇿

[@oruga1000]

Hi Jean, I am a new subscriber. This is the first video of you that I see. Please excuse my English, i'm chilean so I speak spanish. I loved your recomendations in this video. I adore Alejandro Zambra. You should read "formas de volver a casa" (Ways of going home). I loved that book, it is great!

[@shutyourtypeface]

I'm obsessing over those Virginia Woolf editions. I have to wait until Christmas to see if anybody gets them for me, but if not I want to get them for myself!!

[@JeansThoughts]

They are beautiful aren't they. I can't bring myself to move them off my desk to the bookshelf in the living room because I love looking at them. Get hint dropping ;).

[@SydneyBrownTravels]

Lovely video! Definitely agree with so many of your picks!

[@JeansThoughts]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ^_^

[@ginamiller6754]

im a new subbie, I can't believe I hadn't found you yet, you are awesome!!

[@1995BroadwayBaby]

Are you doing vlogmas?

[@alexislounsbury6038]

As a person who just finished their MA in International Relations, the mention of books with themes of immigration and refugees is really interesting to me. Have you done an entire video on that sort of literature, and if not, could you do one?

[@JeansThoughts]

I did film a video about books by and about refugees which is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYvHaHhsabOIlbM I have found so many more since though :).

[@alexislounsbury6038]

Thank you! I found it and watched! I study migration patterns and the immigration crisis, and I am always looking at numbers (how many have crossed, how many we think have died, etc) and I would love to read a more humanized view of the situation instead of just news reports.

[@JJO54]

Great video - you have just found me the perfect stocking filler for my 17 year old son ... the perpetual disappointments diary! :)

[@JeansThoughts]

Ah fantastic - I'm so glad this video was genuinely useful for you! I laugh out loud every time I open the Perpetual Disappointments Diary. I hope he likes it!

[@LaurenWade]

Can't believe you left the necklace behind! :-P

[@JeansThoughts]

I don't need it with me as much now that you're so close ^_^

[@LaurenWade]

Also, heeeey end-screen! :)
