Staff Writer

Johann Thorsson is a native of Iceland, but spends much of his time in Bookland. He has lived in a few parts of the world but currently lives in Iceland with a pretty woman and a mischievous son who resembles Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame) more each day. He has a complicated but ultimately useless degree in bioinformatics from a very pretty college in England. His favorite books are 1984, Flowers for Algernon and The English Patient. He hopes one day to call himself a writer without feeling like he's just fooling himself. Blog: Johann Thorsson - On Book and Writing Twitter: @johannthors

Good morning book-lovers, do you have your credit card ready and a big pot of coffee at hand? Good. Because you are about to see a few great deals on booky things, and you need to be alert since some of these sell out quickly.

Amazon

The first thing you see when visiting amazon.com today is that the Kindle Fire is on sale. The Fire HD is available for $119 and the Fire HDX for $179. Now may be the time to buy a Kindle, people.

CyberKindle

The deals on books that caught my eye are as follows:

TIME51uCvLD5ejL._AA135_ 51GUQFfRjRL._AA135_617OoYiLoxL._AA135_

Time’s Big Book of Why, Star Wars Origami, I’d Know You Anywhere My Love, and the Complete Beer Course. (I know I’m going to get the beer one). The deals start at 1:00 Pm. Also: Star Wars Origami??! I wonder how those things will look paired with the the Beer Course…

 

Barnes and Noble

Barnes and Noble, which is still mostly a bookstore (unlike Amazon which now has everything in the world) had a clearer navigation for us book nerds, and it really seems, after a bit of poking around, that everything is on sale.

The biggest pull for me, however, was the “buy one, get the next for $10” deal on their beautiful Collectible Editions.

BuyOne

My choice would clearly be Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles and Gabriel Garcia Marques’ One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Also, enter their Cyber Monday coupon code, CMONDAY25 for extra 25% everything (except Nooks and Nook books).

I tried this with the complete boxed set of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones books, originally marked down from $90.00 to $45.00. And then I tried their coupon code (you know how often the coupon applies EXCEPT on that particular item?) well, it worked, the complete set was now $35.95.
