Welcome to the 2009 series of Twelve Days of Giving! These posts were inspired by Colleen's 2008 Holiday Season Book Recommendation Event and they were such fun last year that I had to do them again this year! I'll be linking each day's list here as I post them, so be sure to check back! The first list will be posted on Friday, but if you're antsy you can check out last year's Twelve Days of Giving posts.
