Reading is so important! If you want your children to become avid readers, then they need to see their parents sitting down and reading books. The weather starts to cool off a bit in the Fall, and that is the perfect time to settle down with a great book. There are some great deals and sales on books right now.
Borders is having the final week of its “Going Out of Business Sale”. Everything is now either 70% off, 80% off, or 90% off. As far as I can tell, this sale is only good at the Borders stores, and the website is excluded for this sale. If the Borders nearest you is still there, then you may want to go in and see what is left. You won’t find books for a cheaper price than this!
Barnes & Noble has a “Buy 2 Paperbacks, Get Your Third FREE” sale. In order to take advantage of this deal, you need to choose three books that are all a part of this sale. I highly recommend “Under the Dome” by Stephen King, “The Other Boleyn Girl” by Philippa Gregory, and “Assassination Vacation” by Sarah Vowell. There are both fiction and non-fiction books included in this sale.
Barnes & Noble also has a sale on “Fall Blockbusters”. You save 45% off the books in this sale. All of them are new releases, and hardcover books. There are around 30 different titles included in this sale. They are fiction, romance, mystery, and fantasy books.
Don’t forget to check out the Barnes & Noble sale on Bargain books! The prices range from less than $5.00 to slightly over $10.00. The selection of titles come from all departments of the store, including the Kids Section.
If you are looking for an ebook reader, you may want to check out the sale on the NOOK. I find it amusing that this brand of ebook reader is named after a cozy little place to sit down and read a book!
If you buy a NOOK between now and October 31, 2011, and register it, you will get an email that lets you choose FREE ebooks for the NOOK. You get over $100.00 in FREE classics and study guides.
Powell’s has a selection of books called “Writers to Watch”. Their entire selection of twenty books are each 30% off. All of them are in trade paper format.
Powell’s also has a 30% off sale on six books that are on the Man Booker Prize Shortlist. Most of these books are in hardcover format, and one is in trade paper format.
