Yesterday, Chronicle contacted bloggers across the web to post their favorite Chronicle books for the "Haul-idays."

In turn, each blogger and the readers who comment on their lists are entered in the giveaway to win those books.

That means one set of Chronicle books will be given to a reader and another to a blogger, for a total value of about $1,000.

To enter, you must be a U.S. resident 18 years or older. Chronicle will announce the winners Dec. 13!
