Chronicle Books Happy Haul-idays!

The 2nd Annual Happy Haul-idays Giveaway has arrived!
Chronicle books is giving away $500 worth of Chronicle books to one blogger. One commenter on the winning blog post will also win the same haul of books as the blog winner. In addition, this year the winning blogger also gets to choose a charity to receive up to $500 worth of books as well!

For more info about this contest go HERE

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.

Skinny Dips
Quick & Easy Mexican Cooking
Cooking for Two
Puff
The Christmas Table
The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever
The Big Book of Casseroles

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

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!

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 :)
