Every year at the bookstore I work at, I have everyone choose a few books from the year to highlight as their top gift choices, as well as a selection of backpack backlist titles for our annual Jolabokaflod display (Jolabokaflod post will be next week). Below are my eight choices for the holidays with their #bookstagram pictures and graphics I created for their display in the store! (I just wish I had found hockey skate art instead of figure skates, but oh well.)
