Today officially kicks off the holiday shopping season. Although some may have already gotten started, others may ended up waiting until the last minute.
For many, buying gifts means stopping in at a bookstore or browsing titles online to find the perfect fit for your loved ones.
For the avid readers in your life, there are some Texas booksellers with a few recommendations.
Jane Estes, the founder and general manager of Lark & Owl Booksellers in Georgetown, says there are certain titles that tend to be especially popular this time of year.
“We sell a lot of classics at the holidays because several publishers have released classics with these gorgeous covers on them,” she said.
But more recent titles – especially with big names attached to them – could also be a draw, she adds.
“Things like Matthew McConaughey’s children’s book – we expect to sell a lot of copies of those, even though that’s been out for a little bit,” Estes said. “But grandparents and aunts and uncles love to buy that type of book for kids for the holiday season.”
