Are you looking for a great book to give to a woman who loves reading but you don’t know what to give? Look no further! Here are some fantastic gift ideas for women who like books that will take them through different worlds, emotions, and perspectives. 

“A Song of Ice and Fire” series by George R. R. Martin: 

This series is composed of five books, with each book having around a thousand pages. It will keep your book-loving woman busy all summer as she immerses herself in the world of politics and power struggles—well, if that’s what you want. The excitement builds as Martin takes you into the mind of his protagonists since the chapters of the books have different perspectives. But he has a way of cutting short a particular thought that will make you want to read the next chapter of that character. Unluckily he does this to all his characters so that you’ll want to read everybody’s chapter and everybody’s mind. Our favorite is Tyrion’s.

“Eleven Minutes” by Paulo Coelho:

This book is perfect for busy readers as it is something they can pick up anytime. It tells the story of a young Brazilian girl named Maria who dreams of finding true love. Determined to escape her life of poverty, she moves to Geneva and finds work as a dancer. However, things take a dark turn when she becomes a prostitute. 

“The Little Prince” by Antoine De Saint Exupery:

This book is a universal favorite that one can enjoy at any age. It is an easy read and a great book to revisit over the years. She will find a different experience after each time she re-reads “The Little Prince.” It’s like magic. Maybe several editions of “The Little Prince” could be great birthday gifts for her

“The Shadow of the Wind,” “The Angel’s Game,” “The Prisoner of Heaven,” and “The Labyrinth of Spirits” by Carlos Ruiz Zafon: 

These four novels, collectively the Barcelona Chronicles, will transport the reader to Barcelona’s mysterious and enchanting streets. This book is about a reader, an author, and the ever-beautiful power of books. We recommend these to all readers with healthy bookworms in their bellies but not yet to new or beginning readers. Although the latter may love the plot, they cannot relate to the characters (especially Daniel, Julian, and Fermin) as much as a bibliophile would.

Full of secrets, intrigue, and beautiful prose, these books are great gifts for women as they will keep your loved one captivated until the end.

As Zafon has already passed on, we may consider “The Labyrinth of Spirits” as the last book of the chronicle.

“The Thursday Next Series” by Jasper Fforde: 

If your friend or family member loves books about books, this series is a must-read, and the books in the series are great gifts for girlfriend. It’s full of literary references, puns, and humor that will make any bookworm smile. Plus, it’s all about the power of reading and writing, making it an inspiring read for any aspiring writer or reader. Note, however, only a certified bookworm will be able to pick up Fforde’s humor, let alone the plots and citations of the books in the series

“Memories of My Melancholic Whores” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: 

This one, well, this one makes one believe in love. It tells the story of a lonely, aging man who decides to celebrate his 90th birthday by hiring a virgin prostitute. Instead of fulfilling his intentions, he develops a deep relationship with the young girl. The book explores themes such as love, aging, mortality, and the power of human connection. It is a beautiful and poignant story that showcases Marquez’s exquisite prose and storytelling abilities.

“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” by Jonathan Safran Foer: 

Extremely moving and incredibly beautiful, this is a favorite. It shows you the value of life and death, finding the truth, and searching for it. Many readers closely resemble the main character of this novel to Holden Caulfield. Still, I beg to differ because while Holden tends to separate himself from reality, Oskar works his way with everything real, even to the extent of hurting himself. However, they are similar in their inclination to simplify things, although Holden’s is really oversimplification and not mere simplification.

“The God of Small Things” by Arundhati Roy: 

The way Roy has written this masterpiece distresses the mind even when the plot means to dishearten you. Its overflowing eloquence would make you dream even while the whole world is crumbling around you. Reading Roy is a good way of relaxing your mind while puzzling your heart. 

“The Harry Potter series” by J.K. Rowling: 

Last but not least is a beloved classic that any book-loving woman would enjoy—the Harry Potter books. This series has been so magical that it has captured the hearts of readers of all ages and continues to be a popular choice for both old and new readers. So, don’t hesitate to add the Harry Potter series to your list of gift ideas for girlfriend who love books.

If your loved one is looking for something more specific, there are plenty of other great options as gift ideas for women who like books. For crime and law lovers, there’s John Grisham and David Baldacci. For mystery fans, there’s the bestselling Agatha Christie. Finally, if your loved one is into something more literary, there’s Nietzsche, Dickens, Tolstoy, Orwell, Faulkner, Hardy, and Dostoevsky, among others.

Conclusion

We have tried our best to catalog the novels as diversely as possible because each reader is idiosyncratic. What makes a book unique to a reader is not the gold stamp that says “Winner of Pulitzer Award” but its significance to our individual human experiences. J.D. Salinger could not possibly bag the “Nobel Peace Prize” for “The Catcher in the Rye.”

Remember, reading is the best way to explore new worlds and perspectives. So give the gift of literature this summer and help your loved one escape into a world of imagination and wonder.
