For those of you who love reading but lack bookshelf space, consider the ebook. If you're on the fence, check out barnesandnoble.com - right now, they are offering free ebooks (12 this week, supposedly more each Friday), all of the classic variety. It's easy to download their BN eReader (free) and if you travel with your laptop, it's a handy dandy way to bring a bunch of books without the bulk!
If you're the type to like hard copies of book and enjoy browsing through the store, check here (expires 7/25/10) and here (expires tomorrow,7/18/10) for some printable coupons. At the very least, it's a great place to chill your heels in this hot summer weather!
Speaking of books... if you have a youngster, you can pick up a B&N reading program flyer from the store (grades 1-5, I believe). Kids have to read 8 books. Mika handed in her completed sheet today and chose Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. She's been on a reading tear, thanks to the intense reading program at the local library - she's actually reading books on her own now, instead of being poked and prodded. =)
Scrapper al may be super impressed to know that I have now collected 7 out of the 9 Little House on the Prairie books - especially since I've probably only paid $3.82 so far. Only two left to go... On the Shores of Silver Lake and The First Four Years. I'm also trying to collect the complete Anne of Green Gables series now - and already have 6 of 9. Mika should be ready to read these within the next year or two - I can't wait for her to enjoy them!
Here's another bookstore recommendation: Betterworldbooks. I haven't ordered directly from their website, but they are my favorite seller at half.com - their customer service is phenomenal (they truly stand behind their products)! They offer free shipping and right now, there's a bargain bin area, where books are 5 for $15.
