5 Book Deals for August

After nearly two years of doing weekly book deals, I missed the last two weekends, thanks to moving, no internet, and an off-grid camping trip.

But now they’re back and there are some GOOOOOOD ones this week.

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Neilsen
Ella blew through the whole series last year and then insisted Bart listen to them too. Like a good dad he is, he started them and then loved them just as much as she did. Highly recommend!

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver
I was NOT a big fan of One Day in December, but when I got a copy of her new book in the mail, I couldn’t help myself. And this one, about a woman who loses her fiancé in a car accident and finds that she can visit an alternate life in her dreams where he didn’t die, is much better (although a little bit sad).

Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by Amy Grant
If you’re a Malcom Gladwell fan (which I am), this is a book in the same sort of vein and I LOVED it. I especially loved that it ends with practical ideas for implementing these principles into your own life, whether that’s as a parent, a business owner, a neighbor, or a student. (Full review here)

Betsy-Tacy Treasury by Maud Heart Lovelace
I grew up reading these books and I was delighted to see the whole treasury here for under $3! I read the first one aloud to Ella years ago – I think it’s time to revisit.

Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
I love this book so much and have been looking forward to reading or listening to it with my girls since before I even HAD children. This deal is a Chirp audiobook deal – if you’ve never used Chirp before, here’s a whole post about how it works. Plus if it’s your first Chirp purchase, you can use this link for an additional 20% off their already rock bottom prices. (Full review here)
