Book wishlists
Books make brilliant gifts, but only if the reader has not already got a copy sitting on their shelf. A shared book wishlist fixes that: the reader lists what they want, and whoever is buying can reserve a title so it does not turn up twice. These are public lists from real readers — a good place to find your next read too.

Tips for a books wishlist
- Say which format you want — paperback, hardback or Kindle — and whether a second-hand copy is fine, because it can halve the price.
- Add books from series in order and remove ones you buy yourself, so nobody gifts you book three when you are still waiting for book two.
- Link to an independent bookshop as well as the big retailers if you would like to support them; your gifters can pick whichever they prefer.
