Hey guys! Chronicle Books is doing a really awesome thing for this holiday season. Pretty much they are inviting bloggers to go on the Chronicle website and pick $500 worth of books that they'd love to have. And not only does the blogger get all of the books if they win, a lucky commenter gets a set of the books as well. PLUS, this year, in the face of the hard economical times, Chronicle is also donating $500 worth of books to the blogger's choice of charity. Definitely a GREAT way to spread the holiday joy!
I've picked some awesome books, running the gamut of art books to humor books. A little something that I think incorporates all my interests! You should all check out the list, leave a comment if you like the books, and enter to win!!!

For my charity, I am picking The Book Bus, which is an organization based out of the UK that provides a mobile library service for children from disadvantaged communities and families in Zambia, Malawi and Ecuador. Not only does the organization maintain 3 book buses, they also work to replenish and refurbish local and school libraries. I think this is a really great cause, and very appropriate charity since I love books and children!
