School's out and summer is officially here.
"No More Books!" shouts the kids on the block.
But don't listen to what they are saying because they're screaming about SCHOOL BOOKS, not the other kind. You know, the kind where you enter into a completely different world, forget about the noise around you and disappear for hours at a time with
Harry Potter and the gang.
Summer reading is the perfect way to spark the imagination. You'll be surprised how the right set of books can turn into role-playing games and non-stop conversational topics all summer long.
Here's two ways to get out of the blocks and into the race to read as many books as you can before school starts again!
- Barnes & Noble rewards kids that read just EIGHT books. Fill out their Summer Reading Log and bring it into a local store for a choice of a completely free book.
- Borders Books & Music does a similar Summer Reading Program where if you bring in a completed Summer Reading Log, you'll get to pick-up one of several cool activity kits for only $4.99 (all are either 50% off or more the regular price) like 4-jigsaw puzzle kit, How to Draw Spongebob Square Pants kit, two different 3-book collections, and more.

If you've been the Livingston Mall recently, you can't miss the big fat Barnes & Noble sticking out on one side of the mall. The pure largess makes you wonder just how much do people in Livingston read? Is it enough to keep this megastore in business?

Especially when the saavy shoppers of Livingston use printable coupons for discounts at Barnes & Noble... :-)

The
Livingston Barnes & Noble will stay open late on September 19 so customers can be among the first to pick up the new book
Brisingr
. (
Brisingr is the third book in Christopher Paolini
’s Inheritance Cycle.)
It officially goes on sale at 12:01 a.m. on September 20, so to meet the technical sale date, the store will stay open really late.

The
new Barnes and Noble store at Livingston Mall will also host a
Brisingr Release Party on September 20 at 2 p.m.
I don't know how much Barnes & Noble Livingston Mall will be selling the new book Brisingr
for, but Amazon has is for $15 with free shipping.
In addition, in the past, I know that Amazon has shipped pre-sale books early so that you get it in the mail the actual day of the release, making the difference between buying from Amazon and from the local bookstore the fact that you'll have it delivered to you vs. you have to get in the car, go to the store, wait in line and then drive back home.
If you have Amazon Prime, it's definitely worth buying from Amazon since you'l be guaranteed to have it this week with Free Express Shipping upgrades.

The summer flew by and we're finally back to school tomorrow!
But there's one more day of summer fun -- today!
And if you're quick, you can zip over to the Barnes & Noble Livingston to pick-up your completely free book.
Last year,
they gave out over 300,000 free books to kids in 1st Grade to 6th Grade through their
Summer Reading Program.
Just
print out the reading journal, fill out 8 books you've read this summer and bring it into Barnes & Noble on Mt. Pleasant Avenue (Route 10 West) by the Livingston Circle.
Enjoy!

The Barnes & Noble Bookstore is almost done with construction at the Livingston Mall in Livingston NJ. They are putting in the finishing touches for a grand opening in September, 2008.
I believe the Barnes & Noble store by Livingston Circle on Route 10 West will be closing.
And if you're in the Livingston Mall, searching for books today, go to the Waldenbooks Store on the 2nd floor for a store-CLOSING sale. With 50% off cover prices, some of the books are good deals...
You can try using the 25% off printable coupon at Waldenbooks which is also good at Borders books and music...Labels: barnes and noble, bn, livingston, livingston mall, nj
