Is your teen an avid reader? Keeping a prolific reader stocked with plenty of reading material is no easy task. Many teen books are written in serial format, and it may seem like there is always just one more that your teen simply must read. In general, it takes a long time for these new books to appear in local libraries, and that means that if your teen wants to read them, someone must purchase the books.
If this describes your teenager, you can get a great deal on books for teens right now, at Barnes & Noble. Check out the website to quickly view a list of the books from the Teen Section that are currently on sale. Many of these books cost $8.09 before tax. It appears that this selection of books is being referred to as “Teen Romance”. If you click through the list at the side of the page, you can find more Teen books that are $1.99, because they are part of a Summer Clearance Sale that is also happening right now. (The Summer Clearance Sale includes books from all over the store, not just the Teen Section).
In general, it is less expensive to purchase books from the website than from an actual, brick and mortar, Barnes & Noble store, and this is true for these sales as well. If your total purchase is $25.00 or more, you won’t have to pay a shipping fee. In my experience, I have learned that you can find more of a selection from the website than you can find in an actual store. If your teenager has been complaining that she has run out of stuff to read, now is the time to take advantage of this sale.
What are “Teen” books? In the past few years, there have been many books that are marketed directly to young people who are between the ages of twelve and seventeen. These books cross genres and may include aspects of science fiction, romance, horror, and mystery all within the same book. Several Teen books are exceptionally well written, and have attracted readers of all ages. Others are popular enough to have been made into movies. The story lines include concepts that are especially interesting to teenagers, such as relationships, sexual identity, popularity, acceptance, dating, and occasionally drugs, alcohol, and addiction. There are a lot of parents who prefer to pre-read, or at least skim through, a book that comes from the Teen Section before allowing their teenager to read it. These books are a great way to spark conversations about these important topics, and to let your teen know what your views and values are.
