If I win I would love for the Portsmouth Public Library Foundation to receive that last set of books. On Christmas Day in 2010 a man set the Main Library on fire causing damage to the building and 150,000 books. Almost a year later and the library is still closed for repairs. I would love for some new books to be donated to the library which will hopefully open early on in the new year.

Love the books you chose - there are so many fun Chronicle books!
I think that is BEAUTIFUL that you would love to win to help out your damaged library! I cannot imagine someone being so *ill* as to set fire to one of the most wonderful public institutions as a library :(
On a happier note, your book selections sound terrific! I love EVERYTHING vintage so my first pick would have been Vintage Craft Workship, and am also curious about Weirdo Noir & World of Geekcraft :D
hi, wanted to drop in and say hi. I love your blog, and love the books you have here & reviewed. Following you back.

Weirdo noir looks really great and redtone inkblot test. The books on your list look really fun and unique.
Now I'm hungry after reading your list! Good luck and I hope the library opens soon!
Good luck to you too! What a wonderful cause. I hope that the library gets the support it needs to fix the repairs and reopen.
I love your list! I'm especially intrigued by "Weirdo Noir" Good luck!

What a huge shame about your library; they are already underfunded and what happened there was horrid; I hope they caught the person responsible. I love your list of books (how can anyone go to Chronicle and not pick out a cookbook or two?). Puff is one that is also on my own list! Good luck!

Cooking for Two is just what I need! Good luck to us all!
Mmm... skinny dips... is there really such a thing? :)
Good luck and happy holidays!
OMG I'm fantasizing about how many books I could buy with $500!
Thanks for grabbing my Holiday Foreplay button BTW; it's much appreciated! I'm a new follower. :)
Great choices! I'm having as much fun seeing what everyone else picked as I did making my own blog list!
Good luck -- that's such a terrible story about the library. I can't even imagine how sad I'd be if my library closed.
Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Oh, man!! I hope you win! What a great cause to help a library get back up-n-going!!
What an amazing contest! I am sorry that I missed it. Wow! That is so sad about the library burning. I hope that it is up and running again soon! :)
Thanks for following my blog! I have stopped over to follow you back.
