Today through December 14th, get 25% off any one book on Amazon with the code BOOKDEAL25 It is good for print books only, sold and shipped by Amazon, and has a limit of $10 off.

I am excited about this because my kiddos have several books on their Christmas list. Here is a peek at some of them:

The Blood of Olympus is the newest book in the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Minecraft Redstone Handbook is from the Minecraft Handbook Collection.

642 Things to Write About Journal is filled with clever & funny writing prompts.

642 Things to Draw Journal is filled with fun drawing prompts.

Wreck This Journal takes creative writing to another level with activities that make a book protector (like me) cringe, but make my teen daughters giggle with delight. It has several cover options.

In My Humble Opinion Mini Journal is a tongue-in-cheek place to unload your true feelings. The cover reads “A journal to vent about why people are like that and why all the stupid things they do are so obvious to me…”.

A Million Little Ways: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live is one I would recommend for the women on your list. I had to return my copy to the library before I had time to finish, but I was taking notes by page 5.

Do you have any great book recommendations on your Christmas list?
