I heard about this contest Chronicle is hosting through someone on Twitter, and thanks ever so much to whoever that was! Because, well, look:
Post a list of Chronicle Books valued at up to $500 that you’d like to haul in, and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing to WIN your list of books! And, one of your readers who comments on the post will win the list too!
Well, I mean, how could I resist? I couldn’t! I’ve loved Chronicle Books ever since I found one of their notebooks at a store and it was the BEST NOTEBOOK EVER and then I got some of their postcards last year and they were the BEST POSTCARDS EVER and, y’know, generally I’m in love with Chronicle Books.
So here’s my list! I sort of went insane and listed a LOT, but if I’m allowed up to $500 worth of books– why not, right? Anyway, click on the book cover to go to its page on Chronicle’s website.
Non-Fiction
Fiction
Art & Crafts (& Design & Fashion)
Etc
Coming in at a grand total of: 26 books $495.85! Unless I seriously messed up my addition somewhere. I don’t think I did?
Don’t worry, I didn’t forget my family! I’ve got one book in there for each of them (mom-dad-brother). Can you guess which ones? Hints: my mom likes France, my dad likes Star Wars, and my brother likes Indiana Jones. (Not much of a challenge, I suppose).
(I may end up stealing my brother’s book if I win this contest, btw. Don’t worry, I’ll get him something else. A pretty flower, maybe.)



































The Ramayana book looks interesting. Good luck with the contest! I’d love a $500 shopping spree for books.
