    Only 8 books! This is wonderful!!!

  2. Amanda D.

    We did this last year and it was awesome. And they let us do it twice! So 2 free books for each of my kids!

  3. Audrey

    We do this every year, and they are not strict with the age requirements. My daughter was 4 last year, and she participated!

  4. Carolyn

    We’ve done it for the past two years or so. My son loves getting a free book! And one year they didn’t have any books in his grade level that he wanted, but there was one in the next group and they allowed him to get it 🙂

    My son has done for several years. He’s now in 9th so he can’t participate. My daughter is 4, so I’m really hoping they will allow her to do it.

    I think the book choices are better this year than in the past. Don’t wait to redeem the free book, sometimes they run out of the more popular ones.

    Can the form be handwritten or does it have to be typed? Thanks for any responses.

      Handwritten is fine

  8. Carolyn

    My son has always wrote down his books in his not-so-easily-legible handwriting. 🙂

    • K

      Ok, great. I was hoping that was ok to do. Having it printed off and the kids able to add to their list sounds a lot easier. Thanks for the response. 🙂

  9. Sarah

    We have done it for several years, even with preschool age kiddos. The books are great and my kids love doing it!

  10. Melissa

    Excited to do this again. Thanks Collin!

  11. Jamie

    Yes, we did this last year – 3 of my children can participate. They loved it, and the books were good ones!

    We read the books and filled out the form last year, but never got to B&N to pick up our free books–hopefully this year!
