Free Books?!?

As I read my 73rd (74th since I'm in the middle of two?) book this year, it excites me to learn that Chronicle Books is giving away up to $500 worth of books. Since the majority of my books comes from thrift stores, it excites me to potentially own books that are fresh off the press! I have so many interests, I don't think they could fit into one category. And I can't even fathom actually being able to buy $500 worth of books at once. I usually limit myself to around $75. I admit, I went as close to the limit as I could, because I could easily go over!
