Whether you’re a reader yourself or just want to be a reader’s favorite person come Christmas, you can get an extra 30% off Amazon’s already-low print book prices through Sunday, November 30. Simply enter the coupon code HOLIDAY30 at checkout. But be aware that the code only works once, for one book, so your pick better be a good one.
Here are some of the country-related “good ones” that came to our attention in 2014. By clicking a linked image below, you’ll also be telling Amazon to kick back a small percentage of your purchase to Country California for our charitable fundraising efforts. Right now, we’ve got our eye on scraping up some change for Bonaparte’s Retreat, Emmylou Harris’ dog rescue.
Seems like a win all around. Happy reading.
