Happy Haulidays is Back!

Enter now to win a "haul" of Chronicle books valued at nearly $500!

Leave a comment at the end of this post by Dec. 2 and you'll be entered in a random drawing to win the 29 books listed below.

Be sure to leave a way to contact you in your comment or by emailing me with your email address here.

Last week, Chronicle contacted bloggers across the web to post their favorite Chronicle books for its 2nd annual Happy Haulidays Giveaway.

In exchange, bloggers and the readers who comment on their lists will be entered for a chance to win the books listed on their blogs.

In addition, a charity of the bloggers' choice will be entered to win the same books. I've chosen Fairview Elementary School in Denver's poorest neighborhood.

That means if Where the Best Books Are! wins, one set of Chronicle books will be sent to one of you, to Fairview and to my blog!

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