Books for my SIL Christmas Basket:

I wrote to book authors to ask for signed bookmarks or bookplates for my Sister-In-Law for her Christmas. I usually do this every year with a new batch of authors. Since I hadn't done in a couple of years I sent to more authors. Some were very kind and sent books to add to the basket.

GoodReads: Join Carole P. Roman as she visits the Republic of Italy. Learn what it is like to live in Rome, see the famous architecture, celebrate a favorite holiday and discover popular names for both boys and girls. Be fascinated with it's diverse and rich history and colorful traditions. On the way, you might learn a word or two in Italian!.

Mine: Carole Roman has done it again with a beautifully written book about “The Boot” – Italy. She always has some wonderful facts that even as an adult you may not know. I always enjoy her books as the illustrations are very well thought out and she has a vocabulary of terms in the back of the book.
