Chronicle Books has just announced that Happy Haul-idays is here again, and that means I just spent 500 imaginary dollars, filling my shopping cart. Such fun! And maybe I will be the lucky blogger who wins....and I'd get to pick a lucky commenter to win them too!
But wait, there's more! If I win, a charity of my choice gets $500 worth of books too! That's a hard one, almost as hard as picking the books...so many good ones. But I think I would have to go with the E*** S**** Public Library, right down the street from me (name cleverly disguised so stalkers (such as there are) can't find me). I am, after all, the president of the Friends, and work hard for every $500 we raise (three more book sales till solar panel planning starts!)
Here's my list. Only four of the books are for me, because I am beautifully unselfish, even when spending money that isn't real! :)
I have Everything Flowers and The Conductor on my haul-idays list too. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI just reviewed Dan Eldon for my Dec column - it is AMAZING. I am heading over to do a haulidays list now!
ReplyDeleteIt was your review, Colleen, that inspired me to add it to my list!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I have to admit A Butterfly is Patient caught my eye, but now I'm going to be checking out the others for my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up,
So awesome that you chose books for others. My list is quite selfish! (I'd be thrilled for the library I chose to get to spend the bonus $500, though.)
ReplyDeleteShopping is fun even if its when its will not real money. Charlotte which four are yours?
ReplyDeleteHaving a hard time figuring out which of these is for me. Maybe handheld pies?
ReplyDeletethe handheld pies book looks so fantastic. i love making mini mince meat and fruit pies during christmas...perfect list!! check mine out if you get a chance too!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Handheld Pies! That one really catches my eye :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Emily, I would give you Hand Held Pies! And possibly one of the blank books...
ReplyDeleteThe other blank book is one of the four for me, as is Le Japon Artistique, Drawing Nature, and Bunny Suicides.
I hope someone gets me This Is NPR for Christmas! Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteThat "Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site" looks stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeletegood luck to both of us :D
Awesome children's books choices! My toddler loves the Little ___ books with the finger puppet heads. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

Love your list! And I do appreciate that you were selfless with your picks - this would be a GREAT way to do Christmas shopping, I agree.
ReplyDeletep.s. Handheld Pies looks gorgeous, doesn't it? I didn't find it in time to put it on my list, but OMG, I think I may have to buy it anyway. *grin* Good luck!
I like the Sis Boom flexi journal, it's on my list, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so hard to pick from this list! Great choices, and good luck!
ReplyDeleteEven if I don't win, I must own that Handheld Pies book! Good luck!

Like yours, my list is made of mostly books for others (moleskine for my Not-So-Bebe-Girl Autumn, Vincent's Colors for the grandbebes, Blinky Bugs for Bebe Boy James) - but I definitely HAD to include some of the lovely Chronicle cookbooks for myself! Good luck!
