The real problem is that going out to buy a book or two could potentially be a real crapshoot, unless you are familiar with a writer who just so happened to recently come out with a new piece. When I am in this spot, I normally look to the Barnes and Noble Weekly Picks to get a feed on the newest and most notable works available. Barnes and Noble is currently showcasing Brisingr (by Christopher Poalini), A Lion Among Men (by Gregory Maguire), Vicki Myron’s Dewey, and The Lucky One by notable author Nicholas Sparks.

All of the B&N weekly picks can even be purchased at a great discount as the company is currently offering a $25 dollar gift card offer plus 5% back when you sign up for a Barnes and Noble MasterCard.

New York Times Best Sellers!

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

b&nI find it extremely difficult just to walk into a bookstore and come out with something really great. In fact, I can spend an hour in a store and leave with absolutely nothing! If you can read (which i now know you can), why not make sure you will read something good? With Barnes & Nobles New York Times hard cover best seller list, it is impossible to be dissatisfied. Including titles like “The Choice” by critically acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks, The Autobiography “Clapton”, by Eric “music genius” Clapton, and “I Am America (And So Can You!)” by Comedy Central’s, Stephen Colbert, there will for sure be a book for everyones taste.

As a bit of quick advice, these titles undoubtedly make for a great stocking stuffer, if you can hold off from reading them first. :)
