Need Books?
That’s a silly question – of course you NEED books! Here’s where you can shop for books on National Book Lovers’ Day!
Amazon
I would be remiss if I didn’t remind you to check Amazon! I always check their prices FIRST on books that I’m not getting from one of my favorite used book sites. If I need it new I check Amazon first.
Plus, did you know that Amazon gives you POINTS when you buy BOOKS?
Here is how Kindle Rewards works:
- Earn Kindle Points. Get 3 points per dollar spent on Kindle books and 1 point per dollar spent on print books.
- Complete bonus offers. Get even more Kindle Points!
- Redeem for Kindle book credits. Get $3 to spend for every 300 points earned.
That sounds like a good reason to buy books from Amazon!
