Sometimes, it’s hard to justify parting with the thirty-some-odd dollars to purchase hardcover editions of books you want to read. Sometimes, it’s best to wait until they come out in paperback so they don’t break the bank (or your arms, since hardcovers can be heavy if the book is lengthy)! There are some perks to patience.
Here are some books that I’m looking forward to picking up in paperback (or the cleared out hardcover!)
The First Phone Call from Heaven by Mitch Albom
Genre: Fiction, Philosophical, Spiritual
Trade Paperback, 336 pages
21 October (first published November 2013) by HarperCollins
$19.99 (CAD)
I’ve only read a couple of Mitch Albom’s books, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read! He may not be one of my personal top favourites, but I’ always more likely to pick up a book when it comes out in paperback!
The Martian by Andy Weir
Genre: Sci-Fi
Trade Paperback, 400 pages
28 October 2014 (first published September 2012) by Broadway Books
$18.00 (CAD)
This book sounds super interesting. My boyfriend is reading it and really enjoying it! I’m going to have to give this one a try!
How to Be a Good Wife by Emma Chapman
Genre: Fiction, Psychological
Trade Paperback, 304 pages
4 November (first published October 2013) by Picador
$17.50 (CAD)
This one I’ve already picked up! However, I got it in hardcover! But, because it was coming out in paperback so soon, they were clearing out the hardcovers and I got it for six bucks! Can’t beat that! That’s one of the perks of waiting; a lot of the time when a books coming out in paperback, book sellers or publishers will give the hardcovers clearance pricing. You can find these clearance sales in stores or online (ex. Book Outlet!).
Tempting Fate by Jane Green
Genre: Fiction, Chick Lit, Women’s Lit
Trade Paperback, 384 pages
4 November 2014 (first published March 2014) by St. Martin’s Press
$18.50 (CAD)
I love Jane Green novels! She is one of my favourite chick lit/women’s lit authors. However, she’s not generally one that I will dish out the big bucks for the hardcover. So, yay for paperback releases!
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doer
Genre: Fiction, Literary, Historical
Trade Paperback, 530 pages
4 November 2014 (first published May 2014) by Scribner
$19.99 (CAD)
This one surprised me! Usually popular books take over a year to come out in paperback, and this one was only first released in May! I already have the hardcover, but I’m sure the paperback will be flying off the shelves, considering its been deemed one of the best books of 2014!
