i love books. so when i discovered the chronicle books giveaway via mary, i had to enter. chronicle books invited bloggers to make a wish list of books up to $500 that they'd like to 'haul' away for the 'haul-idays' (har har). AND if i'm chosen, one of you lucky readers will win all the books too! to enter, simply leave a comment on this post!
here's my list (including all of the above!):
1. Humanity i love photography books, especially those that feature real people in real life.
2. Top Chef: Cookbook i'm no cook (though i'm improving!) but my family and i love to watch Top Chef (i think my mom could take any of 'em!). this would make a nice gift for her.
3. Handmade Hellos i've mentioned before that i love letters, and this book features eunice of Hello!Lucky - love!
4. Allure for a fellow fashionista, my roomy, elise.
5. Garden Anywhere m likes to garden but i'm afraid we won't have much of a yard next year.
6. Paper and Craft this just looks fun.
7. Deep Dark Chocolate for maddy, my pastry chef friend (and the baker for our wedding!).
8. Apartment Therapy Presents i'm addicted to apartment therapy, aren't you? for my aunt carol, the interior designer.
9. The Power of the Invisible Sun my sister, kirby, would love this philanthropy turned art book.
10. Fast, Fresh, & Green lots of veggie recipes. perfect for my farmer friend (now at, ahem, harvard) connie.
11. Little Book of Letterpress for maureen, one of my (many) creative friends.
12. The Life & Love of Trees i've seen this book over at o' suz's for months. it's so gorgeous.
13. This is For You i love paper cut-outs and this book is chock-full. my artist sister audrey would love it.
14. Curiosities a book dedicated to vintage adornments? yes please.
15. Flour for le, who also loves to bake.
16. Polaroid Notes for kate, a great photographer.
17. Creative, Inc. could use this for sure!
18. All for Love i think a fellow avid reader, erin, would enjoy this anthology.
19. Mastering the Grill i think of a dad and brother-in-law who might enjoy this.
and that brings us close to $500! leave a comment if you'd like a chance to win! and if you're a blogger and you make one, let me know so i can comment! you can find the contest here.
GREAT picks. I think that the Top Chef cookbook is for those that can cook and can't a like. There are going to be things in that book that are above a lot of people's skill level. I would love to enter the contest on my blog as well. Going to do that tonight! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLOVING Curiosities, I might just go pick that one up for myself :)
