Christmas is almost here, which means stressing out about which chocolates your family members might like and whether that scarf is too cheap/expensive/ugly for Aunt Gertrude.
But if you've got any book lovers to buy for, check out this video for some great ideas!

One correction: Placeholders by James Roseman is set in Boston, not Baltimore!
