I cannot properly convey to you how much this contest geeks me out. Ever since receiving Horrorscopes and the Sexy Book of Sexy Sex, I have been stalking Chronicles website, jotting down books I covet. Now they are having a contest, and the lucky winner will receive their wish list for up to $500! Plus, one of the commenters on the post will also receive all of the books on the wish list!
Coming up with my wish list took no time at all. I already had these four on my Xmas list for the hubby:Dante's Divine Comedy Box Set
Weirdo Noir: Gothic and Dark Lowbrow Art by Matt Dukes Jordan
Hell Bound: New Gothic Art by Francesca Gavin
Gay by the Bay: A History of Queer Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area by Stryker, Buskirk, and Maupin
These I had on the TBR wish list:
Ramayana: Divine Loophole by Sanjay Patel
Android Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and Ben Winters
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith
1906 by James Dalessandro
Between the Bridge and the River by Craig Ferguson
And these I found through a quick search on Chronicle Books site:
Edie: Girl on Fire by Melissa Painter and David Weisman
Pictorial Websters: A Visual Dictionary of Curiosities by John M. Carrera
The Punch by Noah Hawley
The Venetian's Wife by Nick Bantock
Secret Lives of Great Authors by Robert Schnakenberg
The Bad Girl's Guide to the Open Road by Cameron Tuttle and Susanah Bettag
Scary Stories by Bary Moser
If you have never looked over the online shelves at Chronicle Books, I definitely recommend you do so. They have a wonderfully eclectic variety of books.
I've seen a few post on this competition and I have to admit I am so tempted!
