This is a super-cool contest. Chronicle Books is hosting something they call Happy Haul-idays, giving bloggers a chance to win a $500 shopping spree for their books. To enter, we just have to make a list of the books we'd choose if we $500 to spend at Chronicle.Want to get in on the contest? By commenting on this post, you're entered to win too!
Can I just say that browsing Chronicle's website was so much fun! There's something for everyone, and these are perfect gift books. I think I have some great ideas for Christmas now. There's baking books for my mom, crafting books for my aunt, a puzzle book for my dad, Star Wars and a photography book for my brother... and Disney books for me!
So here's my list, valued at a total of $499.44 (I just barely squeaked in under the $500) in no particular order:
