Whether you enjoy curling up with a cup of tea and a good book, or are looking for a quick and easy beach read for your next vacation, the staff of Book Outlet, CAA’s newest Rewards partner, offer some suggestions to help you find your next great read.
If you like John Grisham...
Grisham is one of North America’s best-selling authors, known for his gritty courtroom dramas and complex characters. If you enjoy this kind of page-turning legal thriller, try Scott Turow’s Limitations. Fast-paced and stylishly written, this novel follows George Mason, a Court of Appeals judge in Kindle County, who, when presented with a particularly disturbing case, is forced to question the very nature of the law and his role within it.
While his stories take place outside of the courtroom, Nelson DeMille’s novels have a Grisham-esque style that keeps readers wanting more. Filled with subterfuge, betrayal and complicated characters, DeMille is a true master of suspense.
If you liked The Hunger Games...
Aided by a series of blockbuster movies, Suzanne Collins’ widely popular The Hunger Games has given dystopian fiction pride of place in today’s pop culture. A hard act to follow, these books have inspired a deluge of similar novels, all of which, though set in alternate realities or a bleak future, force us to question our actions in the present.
Veronica Roth’s Divergent series and Amy Ewing’s Jewel series are two such examples. The heroines in both series are faced with difficult decisions set in realities that are filled with violence, manipulation and death.
If you enjoy biographies...
Book Outlet boasts a huge selection of biographies and memoirs, giving readers a glimpse into the lives of some of history’s most fascinating figures. If it’s celebrity tell-alls you’re into, Book Outlet has you covered, with accounts of the lives of the rich and famous, from Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to Audrey Hepburn and Prince.
If political or historical biographies are more your style, grab a book about the Bushes or Kennedy’s White House. For a decidedly more Canadian perspective, check out Douglas Hunter’s Double Double, the story of how Tim Horton built a Canadian way of life, one cup at a time.
If you collect cookbooks...
From food and wine pairing to decadent desserts, Book Outlet’s extensive selection of cooking and entertainment books will help you prepare for any occasion. They even carry a wide range of books by celebrity and TV chefs, including Alton Brown, Guy Fieri, Jamie Oliver and Rachel Ray.
If you need help with your resolutions...
Maybe you’re looking to get fit and eat healthy this year, or perhaps you’d like to get your personal finances in order - Book Outlet’s extensive selection of reference titles can help you keep your New Year’s resolutions and save some money while you’re at it. Offering hundreds of thousands of books at unbelievably low prices, Book Outlet is perfect for the bargain-hunting booklover!
If you’re a Nora Roberts fan...
Nora Roberts is one of the world’s most prolific authors, writing scores of female-driven novels that her fans devour. Book Outlet has several Nora Roberts titles in stock, so you can catch up on what’s been happening with some of your favourite characters! If you’re looking to try a new author, check out Stephanie Laurens, Janet Dailey or Lynsay Sands.
If you prefer a lighter and more humorous take on a love story, check out Emily Giffin or Janet Evanovich. The latter offers something to satisfy both the romance-lover and the armchair detective with her wildly popular Stephanie Plum series.
If you’re buying for the kids...
Introducing kids to reading at an early age can help set them on the path for a successful future. Book Outlet offers a wide selection of picture books and novels for all ages and reading levels.
