Happy Haul-idays!

Chronicle Books is hosting quite the fantastic contest for the holidays - they're giving away $500 worth of books to one lucky blogger and one lucky commenter. How absolutely wonderful!

So, of course I chose the books below for my library. A few of them I will most certainly purchase (like Chicken Big!) if I don't win, but the majority will just have to wait for another day and time when money grows on trees in library courtyards. :) It's a pleasant dream, isn't it? Wish me and my students luck!

ETA: After visiting some other blogs entering the contest, I noticed that there's a handy Wishlist on Chronicle Books' website that you can use. Not that I spent a ridiculous amount of time composing my bookboxes or anything. Or even more time going back to create a Wishlist. Okay, maybe I did. Here's my Wishlist, including 2 more books because I was a little under $500. Don't make my mistake! Create a Wishlist! Or if you're too lazy and actually like the books I chose, just comment here and you're entered.

Thanks for sharing, please be sure to let me know when money starts to grow on those trees :) A wonderful list. Very different from the ones I selected See My List Here but I would absolutely love to win either list...or any of the great ones I've seen posted.
Smiles,

Wish I had read your post before I created my list...I did it the hard way apparently! The Story of Snow looks so great...it's on my list too. You can view my list at http://thebookmavenshaven.blogspot.com/

I love these types of events because I always find great blogs like yours.

Any school would be lucky to get all those titles. I have similar titles on my list as well.

Hi! You have a great list of books. I picked out a lot of kids books but also added some for me. I'd love to have you come comment on my blog when you get a chance, my list is at:

I also have a family friendly book review/giveaway linky Sat - Monday and you are welcome to add your (fiction/non-fiction) books at the same blog. It's usually up either Friday night or Saturday AM.

Thanks! Tina "The Book Lady"
