I am on the list for Chicken Soup for the Soul Bloggers, this means I receive books from them through out each year as they get released into the public’s hands. Sadly, I am a bit behind in sharing some of these with you, so today I share with you three Chicken Soup for the Soul books that came in towards the start of this New Year … as a means to share some ideas for gift giving and your own reading pleasure.
