Katie's Christmas Gift Guide Part 4: Bookworms
Do you remember when they first made the internet and everyone was like, 'In ten years there will be no books.Fact.' Well, they were wrong.

Here are some more personalised recommendations for friends of mine who are book fans, storytellers, or even clever enough to have written books themselves.
