Books... books... books!

If you know me at all... then you know that I'm an avid reader. I have a bookshelf stocked full of some of my favorite books. I never throw away or give away my books... they are a GREAT joy in my life! I love diving into a story and being able to "live" someone else's life... even for just a minute. A great romance, an epic journey... becoming a fictional character. It's grand! Well, I hope to instill that same passion for reading in my children and would love to stock an entire library of books for them as they grow, starting with Elah ofcourse!

Chronicle Books is doing a giveaway for $500 worth of books... here's the assignment for us bloggers:

A wonderful list. Very different--for the most part--from the ones I selected See My List Here but a really delightful list nevertheless.
