BWB Remembers The Books Of Our Childhood (1 of 3)

Children’s Book Week (May 13-19) is all about igniting a love of reading for young people, one that will stick with them and positively shape the person they one day become. What books stuck with you when you were growing up? We asked Better World Books employees just that question. Read more…

Your mama’s so smart, she probably reads lots of books!
Posted by Better World Books on 05.11.2013 at 11:00 am
Can we talk about your mom for a minute?
She’s a classy lady. She raised you right. And (Note: moderate guilt trip beyond this point) you haven’t gotten her anything for Mother’s Day yet!
Now, don’t panic. Fortunately for you, we planned for this.
Mother’s Day is tomorrow, May 12. No matter where you’re shopping, the shipping is going to cost a very figurative arm-and-leg combo in order to ship something to you on time. Unless you read on, reader!
Using the magic of Internet, we have devised a way to equip you with (a) the perfect present, which will (b) be ready for you to give your mom on Mother’s Day. Enter the Better World Books Gift Certificate, stage left.
Not only will it be in your inbox minutes after ordering, but it will be exactly the book Mom wants. No matter what increment you choose, she gets the next great read of her choosing. Nailed it.
In conclusion, nothing says “I love you, mom! Thanks for my existence, and stuff. In return for teaching me how to live, I wanted to give you the freedom of picking your Mother’s Day gift. You’re the best!” like a Better World Books Gift Certificate.
Have a happy Mother’s Day!
