Chronicle Books is offering a chance for one lucky blogger, one lucky commenter and one lucky charity to win $500 in books from Chronicle Books!!! Is that awesome or what?
Want a chance to win?
If your a blogger click here for official rules and what you need to have on your post to enter!
No blog? No problem! One lucky commenter from the winning blog will receive the same list of books chosen on the winning blog! So be sure to comment here! (of course!) and then click here to go to the list of bloggers who have entered so you can comment on their posts as well for more chances to win!
Also Chronicle Books is letting the winning blogger choose which charity. If I win I would like the $500 worth of books to go to my local library, the Beaumont Library in Beaumont, California.
It's located in this beautiful building that was built in 1914. I love it in there! I don't generally use libraries a lot anymore. I tend to get attached to the books and don't want to give them back. But that doesn't mean I don't just like to go in and wander around the stacks, and enjoy the peacefullness.
Ok now, on to the REALLY fun stuff, my list of books should I win!:

What a haul! I'm having as much fun seeing what everyone else picked as I did making my own blog list!
ReplyDeleteWow! The Beaumont Library looks so grand compared to the one-room affair that is my local library. I hope you win so that this library can benefit:) Excellent choice of books and I found it very interesting to see all the wonderful craft books. The Origami one seems very interesting!
