On December 18, Amazon Books editorial director Sarah Gelman shared a special list of book recommendations exclusively on 'CBS Mornings.' The list is perfect for those who have not bought a holiday present.
Here is Gelman's special list of book recommendations.
This book trilogy is a perfect gift for girlfriends, sisters, and ladies in general, as Gelman suggested. Gelman found this book similar to a Hallmark Christmas movie without the Christmas concept and a bit spicier. This small-town romance book trilogy consists of book 1 'Things We Never Got Over,' book 2 'Things We Hide From The Light,' and book 3 'Things We Left Behind.'
This five-book series is a perfect gift for those who love romantasy books such as 'Fourth Wing' by Rebecca Yarros. The first book's concept is like 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'The Hunger Games' combined and set in the world of fairies. Gelman also said that this R-rated series is like Harry Potter for grownup readers.

Expressing her love for the national treasure Dolly Parton, Gelman suggested that this book is perfect for those who are into fashion, love Dolly Parton, and who need a little guidance in their life. This book tells Dolly's lifelong passion for fashion, how she developed her distinct style, and some of her life philosophies.
Food writer, chef, and YouTube personality Sohla El-Waylly's first book teaches home cooks of all skill levels how cooking works. Gelman noted that this practical book is perfect for those who do not know how to cook and for advanced chefs, with recipes of easy to hard levels. It also contains clear instructions on how to do certain techniques and the reason for using those techniques.
Voted as the No. 1 Biography of the Year by Amazon editors, this biography paints a new portrait of the civil rights activist Martin Luther King. Jonathan Eig presents readers with King who is suited to our contemporary era: a profound intellect, a masterful planner, and a dedicated revolutionary at the forefront of one of the most significant movements in history. Gelman endorsed this book as something that readers cannot put down, as an editor in her team managed to finish this book in one flight.
The CBS hosts applauded Gelman and the Amazon editors for their ability to remember the contents of each book clearly, given the amount of books that they have to review. Gelman's book recommendations are a perfect holiday present for romance and fantasy fanatics, those who love to cook, and those who just love reading. Buy a copy now and enjoy the season of giving!
