Christmas is just around the corner and while some of us plan ahead when it comes to buying gifts, some of us are guilty of leaving things to the last minute and rushing around to get ready for the big day.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know which Christmas gifts to buy for your loved ones and so we’ve compiled a list of books that we think the bookworm in your life might like to receive this Christmas.
Waterstones currently has a variety of biographies for you to get your hands on and there’s no better time to buy them when there’s discounts to be had.
The bookshop has launched its Black Friday deals, giving you the chance to save some money this Christmas.
