In case you missed it, yesterday we shared that Amazon has released a *rare* coupon code! Through 11/30, use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save on any one printed book. How rare is this code? Well, we’ve not seen it since last year, about this time!

While we shared a few ideas for how to use the code in our post yesterday, I wanted to offer up a few additional ideas and personal recommendations for you.The Man in the Rockefeller Suit: $10.95 (reg. $16)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $7.67

This was my favorite book that I read in 2015! It is the gripping, true story of a con man who poses to be a “Rockefeller.” It was astounding to me how he is able to convince intelligent, well-connected people of his lies and rise socially and financially. It reminded me a lot of the movie Catch me if you Can. If you enjoyed that movie, you’d probably find this book equally (if not more so) interesting.



Believe Journal: $14.67 (reg. $18.95)

Your price: $10.27

I love and use this running journal geared for women just about every day! It’s got a place to tally my weekly mileage, plan for my races, chart out my goals, and record results. It’s got some inspiring quotes and articles from pro runners like Lauren Fleshman. I paid over $20 for mine and with the coupon code, this is the lowest price I’ve ever seen it. This would make an absolutely amazing gift for your friend that’s a runner!

Pocket Your Dollars: 5 Attitude Changes to Pay Down Debt: $6.98

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $4.89

My lovely friend Carrie Rocha wrote this book and I have to say, it’s among the best books I’ve ever read on dealing with debt. What you won’t find is the typical here’s how to fix it methods, charts, and tools. What you will find: practical advice for getting to the root of the problem – the attitudes that undermine your success with finances. I also appreciated that Carrie is very vulnerable in this book, sharing how she and her husband dealt with and conquered paying off over $50,000 in debt.

Guinness Book of World Records 2016: $14.97 (reg. $24.99)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $10.48

This book tops my son’s wish list this year and $10.48 is a tremendous deal for this hardcover book! We purchased him the 2015 edition and he pours over it regularly. This would make a great gift idea to buy an older child that you might be a bit stumped about what to buy for the holidays.

Little House on the Prairie Series: $24.74 (reg. $44.99)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $17.32

Here’s a sneaky way to get that coupon code to work on more than one book: buy a book collection! This collection includes 5 books, so that works out to just $3.46 per book. I have such fond memories of reading the Little House series, and I think this would make a lovely gift for a child. Both of my kids have read some of these books in their school.

The Jesus Storybook: Every Story Whispers His Name: $8.99 (reg. $17.99)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $6.29

I read this book cover to cover with my kids and we all absolutely loved it! It contains Bible stories, written in a way that’s easy for kids to understand and brings into focus the way the Bible fits together, all pointing towards Jesus. Actually, I had a few things pop out to me in reading it that I never had seen before myself in reading the Bible! I’d usually get through reading a story or two and have my kids beg for more. A wonderful night-time devotional. The Complete Far Side Gallery: $60 (reg. $100)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $42

Easily my favorite cartoon of all time! This paperback set contains all of Gary Larson’s beloved Far Side cartoons. Again, buying a series like this means you really get a big bang for that coupon code.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: $10.19 (reg. $16.99)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $7.13

Confession: I’ve not actually read this book, but it’s high on my “to read” list. I think it would be an excellent pick going into the New Year for all of us who have “decluttering” at the top of our resolutions list. It’s a top selling book for 2015 on Amazon. Bonus: it’s a hardcover. The Book with No Pictures: $8.99 (reg. $17.99)

Use coupon code HOLIDAY30 to save 30%

Your price: $6.29

I purchased this popular book for my daughter for her birthday. It is a very silly book, and one that she frequently pulls from her bookshelf to have me read at night. The coupon code makes this hardcover book among the lowest I’ve ever seen it for.

Of course, these are just a few ideas. You can use the HOLIDAY30 coupon code on *any* printed book on Amazon – think coloring books, cookbooks, fiction, children’s books, coffee table books and much more! Remember – it’s good through 11/30 only. Need some more ideas? Check out Laura’s initial post about this promotion.

If you’re willing to share, I’d love to hear how you used the code! It may give other readers ideas for how to use it too. What did you buy with the code?
