Second Annual Happy Haul-idays! from Chronicle Books
Chronicle Books is back with one of the most creative and fun giveaways I’ve ever seen, just in time for the “Haul-idays”!
This year they’ve up’d the stakes by allowing the winner to not only choose their own $500 worth of Chronicle Books, give a commenter from the winner’s blog post those books as well, but they’ve now added a charity to the mix. If you happen to be the winner of this tremendously generous prize you also get to choose the charity of your choice to give $500 worth of books to as well. Amazing, right?! I thought so!
For me, the charity I’d pick is one I admire and think does a tremendous amount of good:

Obviously, improving the quality of life for children through reading is extremely important to me and I’d love the opportunity to give this to First Book thanks to Chronicle Books and my readers.
So, how do you join in the festivities as well? There are two ways to win:
For Bloggers
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, if you win one of your readers who comments on the post will win the list too!
For Everyone Else
Visit the list of blogs for your chance to win a haul of Chronicle Books. Each of these blogs has posted a list of books valued up to $500. One blogger and one commenter on the winning post will each WIN the list!
Take a look at Chronicle Books site for more details!
Now, for my list of wished-for Chronicle Books books!
(Feel free to click on them to go to the Chronicle Books website and learn more. If, like last year, they offer a discount coupon after the contest is over I’ll be sure to share that as well!)

That is indeed quite a haul. I made a list at my book blog too, but if I don’t win I’d love a shot at your pile!
Chronicle Books has so many awesome cookbooks that I want! That would be a great collection of books to share with my little nephew!
