Reading

For anybody that loves reading in North America, Canada or West Europe there is a great site called Awesome Books that has some really great, cheap books. You can get a lot of books for around £2.50/$4 each and if you order two or more books you get free delivery too (which can make the site cheaper that Abe’s Books) and if you’re in the UK you get free delivery regardless of how many books you order.

The site also includes regular offers including magic bundles where you can get 3 books in the same genre, subject or by the same author for £6.99/$11.09 including p+p or discount codes which give you great offers on second hand or bargain bin books.

One of my current codes is: hi20 which gives you 20% off your order when buying second-hand or bargain bin books.



I’ve noticed from my own income that reading is quite often the only luxury I can afford on a regular basis (especially as books are something I can read again and again and I don’t have to pay for any extra costs like electricity or food when I’m out at say the cinema. Especially as I usually use candles. I can also pass a lot of time when reading so being unable to afford to go out etc. doesn’t seem as bad because I enjoy a lot of my day reading.) I know books can often be expensive which is why I suggested this site but I find that being able to re-read them makes it so much easier to justify the cost!
