It's officially crunch time to find the perfect holiday gift for everyone on your list, and there's no better gift than a good book.

One of the most common New Year's resolutions is to read more books.

What better way to help your loved ones get a head start on this goal than by picking out a book tailored to their interests?

With so many end-of-year book roundups going around right now, it can be hard to figure out which ones are actually the right choice as a present.

From celebrity memoirs to groovy historical fiction, these reads are quick reads that are engaging enough to hold the attention of non-readers and maybe even push them toward the fantastic world of reading.

Jennette McCurdy's memoir, I'm Glad My Mom Died, dives deep into the iCarly star's experiences as a child actor and her complicated relationship with her abusive mother.

The book ties together a collection of short vignettes spanning over two decades.

McCurdy's unflinching honesty and nuanced reflections on the profound impact of childhood trauma make this read truly unforgettable.

Imbued with the actor's quick wit and unique point of view, I'm Glad My Mom Died is a worthwhile book for every type of reader.

Bookworms everywhere will know John Green quite well for his acclaimed young adult novels like Looking for Alaska and The Fault in our Stars.

In The Anthropocene Reviewed, Green takes his first dive into nonfiction with an essay collection that reviews different elements of the world on a five-star scale.

From Diet Dr. Pepper to Halley's Comet, the book provides unexpectedly poignant and heartwarming reflections on life through a lens that's focused on a patchwork of seemingly random things.

Green's impeccable writing and rich voice carry readers through an essay collection that is perfect for those who find themselves listening to podcasts far more than picking up a book.

Looking for a book to give a music fan? Daisy Jones & the Six is the one for you!

This groovy read is set in the 1970s and 1980s and follows a fictional rock band (in the vein of Fleetwood Mac) as they ascend to unexpected levels of fame.

The novel is written as a screenplay for a documentary being made about the titular band, making it a fantastic choice for someone who isn't usually a big reader.

The format flows so well that your attention will never waver.

A compulsively readable and epically cool book, Daisy Jones & the Six is the perfect gift for any non-reader this holiday season.
