A collection of bests - for a price that just might be the best too....

Follow up

It's true!  Kindle books can now be checked out from the Miami-Dade Public Libraries.  Just follow this link to browse....

This makes me happy

A new Shel Silverstein book is available now!

Miss me?

Mini-blogcation this week so posts will be somewhat erratic.


But, here's a book that sounds super interesting and the Kindle edition is under $3.  Worth a shot!

Free reading

There's a new way to read Kindle books for free!


Amazon announced today that they are rolling out free browser enabled reading.  So, if you have Chrome or Safari, you can now read right on your computer.  Other browsers are coming soon.  Read more about it here.


Also, the Kindle apps for phones still exist.  They are also free and I love mine!

A must read!

No, not this post, but if you read this post then you can buy the real MUST READ for less!


Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer is one of my favorite books and it is available on Kindle for just $2.99 right now.  Get it.  Now.  Really.

Free books for kids

Barnes & Noble has all kind of great programs for kids right now!


Most exciting - kids can receive a free book after they read eight this summer!  The details and link to the book journal can be found on their Imagination's Destination site.


While you are exploring their site, you should also sign your kids up for the Barnes & Noble Kids Club.  They get all kinds of perks including discounts, free birthday cupcakes, and a free digital book created out of their writing and illustrations!


Way to go B & N!  I support any efforts that help to encourage a love of reading in kids!

Free (leaked) book

If you have somehow missed this going viral, you're in for a good laugh!


The for-adults-only spin on a children's book, Go the F**k to Sleep is the number one best seller on Amazon - despite still being in preorders!  To buy the book, go here.  To read it in PDF form, find it here. 

Free books for at-risk kids

As you know, or have learned, I work at a children's literacy organization.  One of our great resources for books is FirstBook - a great organization that provides very low cost books to literacy organizations like Everybody Wins! South Florida.


Disney Publishing Worldwide has generously agreed to donate one brand-new book for each new follower they gain online.  Which means that if you "like" them on FB and "follow" them on twitter, you will be putting two new books into the hands of kids.  

Water for Elephants

I might be the kind of person who gets cranky when publishers make new "movie tie-in" covers for books.  Sorry, that's just who I am.  But, I also love a deal, so in this case I am torn!

  

The new "movie tie-in" covered version of Water for Elephants is available on Amazon for $4.39 in paperback or $4.17 for your kindle.  It is a great book and now a great deal too.  Plus, if you buy through these links EW!SF gets 5% of your purchase.  If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend this one.
