There is nothing more satisfying than seeing my kids browse our bookshelves and find a favorite book to snuggle up and read. I often find my kids sprawled out on the floor near a bookshelf with a pile of books around them. My goal is to build readers and I find that surrounding them with lots of reading material is the best way to encourage them to read on their own.

How do I afford all of these books?

I always ask for gift cards to Amazon or other bookstores as gifts. And I sometimes ask for specific books as well.

I use Swagbucks to earn gift cards. I earn a minimum of $25 in Amazon gift cards each month.

I look for books on sale through Amazon.

I also have a Kindle that is filled with books for my older readers. It saves space and these books are often cheaper.

I decided to compile a list of books that I’ve found on sale. I will try to update this list every few days as the sales on Amazon change.
