Fortnight of Festivities 2013: Books for Everyone on Your List

Welcome to the second annual Fortnight of Festivities! Fourteen days of Christmas fun, books, movies, music, and a giveaway! First up, I wanted to do a gift-giving guide. I've seen several over the past couple years, and they're always so fun! So I decided to make one. I tried to cover lots of possibilities, from fathers to hipsters to Janeites. Enjoy!
