From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor
Oh, you waited until this week to do your Christmas shopping? Yeah, me too. I'll probably wait until Friday, actually, and then go buy everything that's left at my local bookstore.

Creative Book Gifts for Everyone on Your List
I've been told that I'm tricky to buy gifts for. I think this is because I'm allergic to 90% of the standard slate of gifts for women. Candles? Perfume? Fancy soaps? Achoo. Books, though, are generally safe. Unless they're really old (achoo again), so stick with these 2010 releases.

The Best Bestsellers of 2010
You know my favorite part about giving books as gifts? They're pretty much the easiest thing in the world to wrap. This is why the 10-year-old in my life is getting books, not a football.

Gift Books for Manga Lovers
Who isn't a manga fan nowadays? For the rare few who have missed the international craze, these books would make a great introduction. For those who are already fans, they're just plain great.

Make Your Own Book
I had a baby this year, which, combined with a little bit of desktop publishing, officially makes 2010 the easiest year ever for Parent and Grandparent gift-giving. "Here, it's a book of pictures of the kid." "SQUEEEEEEEE!" is pretty much how it'll go.
