A Weekend of Book Deals for Pi Day
Happy Pi Day!
Tonight we’re hosting our annual Pi Day Party and I cannot wait!
I’m also hoping to get some reading in – I’m about 1/2 way through about 5 books and I’d like to know a few of those out!
Here are some of my favorite book deals going on this weekend:
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
I read this book and loved it, but couldn’t quite figure out what to say about it. It’s quirky, to be sure, but fun and extremely readable. This book was universally a winner in the mock Newberys around the country and ultimately won the gold sticker.
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM by Robert C. O’Brien
If you’ve never read this Newbery winner about some very smart rats who help save a little mouse family, you’re missing out. The first chapter or two are bit slow, but after that we couldn’t read enough and we read long past bedtime many many nights. (I’ve never read the sequel – is it worth it?).
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
A Mi’kmaq girl vanishes from a Maine blueberry field in 1962, and the mystery refuses to stay buried. Decades later, a young woman is haunted by dreams that starts pulling at the threads her parents wished she’d leave alone…and what she unravels will change everything.
Shatter Me 3-Book Set 1 by Tahereh Mafi
This audiobook contains three novels of a very popular YA romance. In the first installment, a girl with the ability to kill with a single touch is held hostage as an evil regime called the Reestablishment tries to use her as a weapon.
Peter Rabbit: Tales for Bedtime by Beatrix Potter
All the love for Peter Rabbit and company at our house. This collection has 24 brand new stories inspired by Beatrix Potter’s most beloved little animal tales, so it’ll keep entertained for bedtime for a long time. (Plus, this one is a Libro.FM deal so you can use it to make a Yoto card!)
The Last Love Note by Emma Grey
This one was the first book I finished in 2024 and it made it on to my top favorite books from 2024! This one was heartbreaking and hopeful and I was sucked in from page one about a woman losing her husband first mentally and then physically to early-onset dementia. (I read her new book too – Pictures of You – which I didn’t think was nearly as good).
Click, Clack, Peep! by Doreen Cronin
I’ve loved the Click Clack Moo books since I was first introduced to them in grad school and this spring/Easter board book version is just exactly what you’d expect – charming and funny. (Plus, this one is a Libro.FM deal so you can use it to make a Yoto card!)
When the Day Comes by Gabrielle Meyer
In this time travel book, Libby is given the gift to go to sleep in one time period, and wake up in another time period without any time having passed. She splits her time between 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilded Age New York City. She lives a very different life in each, but there comes a time when she must make a very important decision about which time period she will stay in forever. This was a fun listen!
Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne
This almost 3 hour collection of Winnie the Pooh stories is such a classic! Seriously, this is an incredible audiobook to have on hand.
The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
I couldn’t believe I hadn’t read a Kate Quinn until January for our Everyday Reading Book Club and since I have been loving her! This one, based on a true story about a Ukrainian sharpshooter known as “Lady Death” during WWII, sounds like another one I need to add to my list!
