A Haul-iday Wish for Chronicle Books

Chronicle Books is giving bloggers a chance to win up to $500 in books and one of their readers will win as well!  I'm super excited about this!  The first step is to come up with a list of books valued up to $500.  I could be entirely selfish and just shop for myself but I know that Z would never forgive me if I left out some of the amazing Chronicle Kids books.
