Holiday Gift Ideas: Books by Bloggers

The month of December is filled with a variety of wonderful gift guides throughout the blogosphere. Since our focus at ShePosts has always been supporting bloggers, we compiled a list of some great books that were published this year from within our community.  This was a record year for blog-to-book deals, so there are a variety of national book options from which to choose – from blogging basics to novels.  We hope that you will consider purchasing one of the books for yourself or as a holiday gift. (Since there were so many books released by women bloggers in 2011, we will be posting a separate Cooking and Entertaining book suggestion list next week.) Congratulations to all of the newly published authors!
