7 Book Deals for an August Weekend
This is our last weekend before school starts for us next Monday and we’re soaking it in with some boating and some clean-up and prep for next week (some of these activities are more thrilling than others. . .).
Here are some of my favorite book deals going on right now!
Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee – ebook – $1.99
In 2021, I hosted the book club for Grown-Up Summer Camp and this was the fiction title. Stacey Lee is the author of The Downstairs Girl, which was April’s book for the 2023 Everyday Reading Book Club, so it was really fun to dive into this book about twins that end up on the Titanic’s maiden voyage.
The Adventures Of Nanny Piggins: Book 1 by R.A. Spratt – audiobook – $3.27
Ella has LONG loved Nanny Piggins and begged me to read it aloud to everyone. These books are just so fun and wacky – we blew through it so fast! Now we own all the audiobooks and they’re on constant repeat at our house. The rest of the series is also on sale at Libro.FM too! If you buy ANY audiobook this weekend, make it this one. (And because this one is a Libro.FM deal, you can use it to make a Yoto card!)
The Mystery of the Gold Coin by Harper Paris – audiobook – $0.99
With their mother as a travel writer for a newspaper, twins Ethan and Ella find themselves in a new location in every book. And naturally, each new location has a mystery for them to solve. The first three books in this 10 book series are all on sale for $0.99! (And because this is a Libro.FM deal, you can use it to make a Yoto card!)
Heidi by Johanna Spyri – audiobook – $3.99
This is a true classic! Heidi, a Swiss orphan, is heartbroken about leaving her home and grandfather to go to school and care for a sick girl in the city. (And because this is a Libro.FM deal, you can use it to make a Yoto card!)
Aaron Slater and the Sneaky Snake: The Questioneers: Book #6 by Andrea Beaty – audiobook – $2.99
We are huge fan of Andrea Beaty, and her Questioneers chapter book series is phenomenal. They all inspire, talk about persevering through mistakes, and this one in particular shows how creativity can help out a zookeeper in need. (This one is a Libro.fm title, which means you can make it into a Yoto card!).
The Great Pet Heist by Emily Ecton – audiobook – $4.99
When their elderly owner goes to the hospital, an unlikely group of pets plan a robbery to support themselves, and avoid being sent to the pound. (This one is a Libro.fm title, which means you can make it into a Yoto card!)
The Luminous Life of Lucy Landry by Anna Rose Johnson – audiobook – $3.99
I read aloud her book The Star That Always Stays to my girls last year and it was so sweet and delightful! This is her new release about an orphaned young French-Ojibwe girl who is taken in by a large and loving family that runs a lighthouse. (This one is a Libro.fm title, which means you can make it into a Yoto card!)
I nabbed The Luminous Life of Lucy Landry from the library for my 8-year-old on a whim a few weeks ago and she loved it!
