Chronicle Books is having a contest to win a haul of books. All I have to do is list some of their books, I’d most like to haul here on AmoXcalli up to $500.00 worth and I’m automatically entered. Best part is, if I win the list one of my readers that comments will win the list too! Hope you like my choices which are in no particular order of preference.
1) I Love Macarons – 14.95
Why? Because I love them and want to make them with Jasmine and Aiden.
