Well, you know, it's not your fault that all your published books look stunning enough to make good gifts! Perfectly justifiable self-promo! I'm considering gifting my aunt Braiding Sweetgrass in translation. It sounds right up her alley, and maybe i can borrow it when she's done :D

Thank you 😭. I do feel kind of spoiled for having worked on so many beautifully designed books, like the illustrations and gorgeous hardbacks are wow. Taylor and Katie are incredible. Also bookish gifts you can read after are the best ;)

Love your reviews, my TBR list has grown! I'm going to get some gold foiling from the craft stor to improve my book covers, lol

Shout out to me for watching this video right after I bought books and now needing to go back and buy more. A good problem to have I think

@nymeria941 5 ай бұрын

Watching this after Christmas, and I’m definitely going to pick up “The Art of Fantasy” and “The Deohord” for myself. Great recs!

Love that Everdell got a mention! My husband and I love that game, and we have the book too. It’s beautiful.

Thanks for your recommendations. I am adding your two Goddess books to my personal list for this Christmas! They are so lovely. Happy November to you.

I love that you mentioned all of your books that have been published this year. They are stunning! I need to read Goddesses & Heroines and the Pan Macmillan’s. I now have a few books to add to my TBR as well as for potential future presents for people in my life. Thank you for sharing this gift guide. I always love watching these types of videos!

Added a few to my own wishlist, and picked up 'Scotland the Strange' for my mother in law. Sounds really interesting, and is beautiful to boot! She is notoriously difficult to shop for, so thanks very much for the idea!

@JeansThoughts 7 ай бұрын

Oh I hope she likes it! They're fabulous books. I'm glad I could help :D

@justkajsa529 7 ай бұрын

Love to see another video from you! These are great suggestions (of books I will now ask for for myself)... 😇 My sister really loves climbing, have you ever read any good fiction where that plays a big part?

@SarahV-se2db 7 ай бұрын

Yay, thank you for this gift guide! Last year I took your puzzle recommendations for my friends and they went down a treat 🥰 If you do end up thinking of enough other recs you could always make a part 2 🤗

@JeansThoughts 7 ай бұрын

Aaaaah yay I'm so glad they were a hit! I might end up doing some bonus gift guides on instagram and tiktok or even KZfaq shorts.

Loved this recommendation list so much -- thanks for making it. Ordered the Scheherazade book right away. And yes, I am the viewer for the Everdell book -- and I will be looking for the board game recs on Instagram. Plus, I am getting your DK Greek Myths book for my neice -- she recently came back from a trip to Athens very inspired.

I'd absolutely love to find one of your books under the Christmas 🎄 and one day I'll (#manifesting)! 😄 Thank you for the recs and always great book-ish chat!

This holiday guide is a wonderful video. Thank you so much. I loved Yellowface and Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries is on my TBR list. Do promote yours books and be proud of your hard work. Don’t apologise; a man would not since he would be far more vocal.

@JeansThoughts 7 ай бұрын

Oooh I hope you enjoy Emily Wilde. I loved it even more than I expected, I'm so excited for book two to come out. And thank you so much

Hello Jean's, good evening 🌆! A long time ago, I didn't know anything about you. Good video, I liked it much. By the way, you look very attractive in this new video. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽... 👍.
