We've been making lists all year long at 49thShelf, and now is a great time to blow the dust off some of them so they can provide you with a bit of holiday shopping inspiration.
For instance, Heather Birrell's Reading New Motherhood is full of great reads for new moms, smart books light enough to hold during nursing sessions.
If you're looking for something for your favourite burgeoning feminist, try a book from Stacey-May Fowles' Unconventional Heroines list.
We've got books for inveterate degenerates, books for the sad and bitter hockey fan, for lovers of Atlantic Canada fiction.
Books for those who root for the underdog? Look here. We've got covered also Japanophiles, photographers, and those partial to hysterical laughter.
You'll find books to talk about at dinner parties here. Go here for LGBTQ Books. For those hard-to-buy-for Dads, we suggest you consult Bob Armstrong's Father's Day Books List.
Want books for kids? We direct you to the 2012 Children's Book Centre Awards shortlists. Also our Holiday Survival List: Crafts and Ideas for Kids.
Tame your favourite reckless outdoorsperson with the Outdoor Safety and Survival list. We've got a great list of books for the indie fan. Fiction for the music fan? We've got that too. And yes, we've got a comprehensive Sports Lit list going on for all those literary athletes.
For foodies? Try the Taste Canada 2012 Shortlist or the Digging The City: Eatin', Growin' & Livin' Local list. We've got a list of novels for the extraordinarily bookish. Another for literary gardeners, as well as the Stop and Smell the Wildflowers list.
Check out our expert-curated Books for Older Teen Boys list. And speaking of experts, we've got Charlotte Gray's books for history buffs.
Keep digging around the site and you'll find there's even more, but these lists should keep you going for awhile, and make it that much easier for you to #GiveCDN for the holidays.
