A Word's Worth originally started as more a holding-place for memorable quotes (books, movies, conversations), with random musings about books or movies. Evolving into a truer book blog, it now features reviews and reading-related posts. Also featured are writings that the blogger finds relevant, creative, interesting, or simply decides to post.

Chronicle Books: Happy Haulidays, take 2!
Chronicle Books has brought back their Happy Haulidays extravaganza, with an added 'perk' this year: Not only will one lucky blogger win their $500 wishlist, but one commenter on the winning post will also win the wishlist. That's not all! This year, the winning blogger also gets to pick a non-profit/charity of their choice to win $500 to spend on books/products from Chronicle Books! Amazing.
Of course I'm participating, my wishlist is below. Check it out, and leave a comment if you like what you see. If I win, someone will be picked from my comments to win too!
There are so many great non-profits out there, it was a little hard to pick just one. But I decided to go with my first impulse: The Tim Tebow Foundation. You can check out their site for more details, and as for why I pick it as my charity of choice? I have been a fan and admirer of Tim Tebow since the first time I saw him on the Florida sidelines as a freshman. In the years since, he's proved himself to be a class act person and role model, as well as athlete. His foundation is one I can fully support - with a mission to "bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need."
The Wishlist (click on image to go to Chronicle Books' description):
Total: $495.88
Don't forget to swing by and check out all the other blogs participating too! So many wishlists...
And if you're entering here, leave an email or some other contact with your comment - in case you win!
