    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet! You’re so welcome!

  2. Carolyn

    Thanks! Used it to preorder the 3rd Illustrated Harry Potter. With tax it brought it down to $20 shipped. Now to wait until October.

    • Mindy

      Perfect, thank you! That was exactly what I planned to do since DS has been waiting for the 3rd illustrated Harry Potter since Christmas. Got my slow shipping credit too, since I don’t need it until Christmas. Can’t beat $18.83!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great buy Carolyn! YW!

  5. Heather

    Yay! Pre-ordered the new THM cookbook, releasing this September. What a great deal, thank you!

    • djude83

      It wouldnt let me use it for this. I tried. 🙁

      • Heather

        Did you select the paperback for $19? I added this to my cart and then added the promo code at checkout. Hope you can get it to work.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re very welcome Heather!

    • Lisa Somerville

      I tried to use it on the THM Paperback Cookbook Pre-Order, it wouldn’t accept it either.

      • Lisa Somerville

        UPDATE: I kept hitting the apply code and it finally accepted it. Thank you!

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          Yay! You’re very welcome! Thanks for the update!

  7. MomofTwins

    I preordered the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book.

  8. Lynsi

    I have 3 little boys 5 and under. Any recommendations for me? I want dragons love tacos but not sure what else!

    • Amber

      What about the little blue truck books? My kiddos also love anything by Sandra Boynton.

      • Miranda

        I LOVE Little Blue Truck!

    • Jess

      Dinosaurumpus was one of my boys favorites, Hot Rod Hamster books, Piggy and Elephant books!

    • Jessi

      Llama llama books are all adorable!

    • Sarah

      Press Here, Robo-Sauce and Piggy and Elephant books by Mo Willems (or any of the Pigeon books too!) are favorites with my 4 and 6 year old boys!

    • Brandi

      Leonardo the Terrible Monster is still my son’s favorite! And The Book with No Pictures is hilarious– (if you don’t mind that it says “butt”) 🙂

    • Mita

      Richard Scarry’s What do People Do All Day is well-loved in our home.

    • Juju77m

      Dragons loves tacos has a sequel that just came out recently as well

    • Yolie

      The Book with No words is the best! Have grandma or another relative read it to them and it’s even better!

    • Sarah

      Goodnight, goodnight construction sight

      Little Excavator

      Llama, llama books

      Pete the Cat books

      Big Al by Yoshi Clements

      If I Built a Car

      Anything by Todd Parr

      Anything by Leo Lionni

      Okay, I’ll stop now 🙂

    • Jenny

      There is a Dragons Love Tacos 2, but it did not hold my 2-year-old’s interest like the first one did. There’s a time travel element that might appeal to your older kiddo though.

      Also, thumbs up on Little Blue Truck, and the Llama Llama books are always good (especially the original).

  9. Catie

    Is anyone having trouble using the code? My book is sold by Amazon but it’s not accepting the code…

    • Bev

      Not working for me either!!😫

    • Liz

      I’m having trouble too. 🙁 It’s an Amazon book over $15.

    • Jackie

      Try it again and in all caps. The same thing happened to me. I closed Amazon and went back in and it worked.

    • Liz

      Try again! I did it again and it worked!

      • Catie

        Woohoo tried again after about an hour and got it to go through!

    • Michelle Armendo

      Use all capital letters, that is what I had to do

    • Carissadiane

      I copy and pasted the code and it didn’t work. Then I typed it in and it did.

  10. Cara

    Thank you. I got a American Girl mini doll for $11 and chose no rush shipping and got $10 reward for prime now

    • Lorraine

      Cara, how did they send $10 reward?

      • Amy

        I’m wondering that too because I have chosen that option twice but can’t figure out how to redeem.

        • TAMARA

          Ditto.. Glad to know I’m not the only one!

      • Cara

        I have not tried it yet.. im assuming they will credit your prime now acct once you check out. Kind of like what they do when they give you credit for prime audio

      • Cara

        I called cuatomer service she said it will apply automatically on check out for prime now orders. Also maybe combined with 10primeday promo qhich takes another $10 off

    • Amy

      I forgot that these book codes work on AG mini doll! Christmas present bought!

    • Yolie

      My credit was only on furniture.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Sweet! You’re so welcome!

  11. Tuquyen

    I couldn’t get the code to apply when I was trying to pre-order. I was still able to use the code on other books though.

  12. Steph

    Tomorrow at 11:59pm would still be 7/11/17.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Whoops! Sorry for the confusion. This offer is good through July 12, at 11:59 PM. Just updated! 😉

  13. Kathy Barker

    Won’t work for me either!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Be sure to grab books sold by Amazon. Hope this helps!

  14. Cindy

    Thank you! My twins will be high school seniors this year and both have to read the same $18 book that has a huge waiting list at our library. Glad to get $5 off!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Oh perfect! You’re welcome Cindy!

  15. Julie

    Three books in cart sold by amazon totaling $15.29 before tax, and it won’t work. 🙁

    • Julie

      Just hit apply for the third time and worked!! Weird!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Be sure they are sold by Amazon. Hope this helps!

  16. Beth

    Thank you! Got 3 new Disney books with CDs. My kids listen to these in the morning in their rooms instead of waking me up!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      How fun! You’re so welcome Beth!

  17. Charlene

    Thank you. I ordered 3 books out of the I am Four Series by Pittacus Lore…I was going to get hardcover but I was able to get more for less by getting paperback. PLEASE if you see another code or can use this again let me know so I can get the rest of series.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You bet! You’re most welcome Charlene!

  18. Kristy N

    Thanks! Took me about 4 tries to get the code to work.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      So glad it finally worked for you! YW!

  19. Brittany

    Yah! I was hoping they would come out with another code for books!! Thanks for posting!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

  20. Crafty Bargainista

    Yay! I got to add another pop-up book to my kids’ collection! Robert Sabuta’s White House is on sale for $16.49 (originally $29.99!) so I only got it for only $11.49 + tax! Used ones on eBay rarely go for less than $15! 😁

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      What a great deal! Thanks for sharing your score!

  21. Michelle Armendo

    Works for the coloring books too!

  22. Amber Pena

    I was having trouble with the code too. Then I tried *not* deleting the space after it (from copying) and it worked. Weird, but something to try if you’re having a hard time.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for the helpful feedback!

  23. Linda Killian

    Ooh, ordered the new Neil Gaiman! Thank you!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      YW!

  24. holly

    I just placed an order. The discount was applied. But the confirmation email and app no longer reflects the discount. Has anyone noticed that?

    • AE

      Was just going to post that!!! I just spent 15 min on the phone with customer service and was able to get the $5 credited back to my account. But was super annoyed it showed up when I placed my order but no I’m confirmation email.

      • holly

        So strange! And a pain in the bum to be on hold.
        I see that my credit card hasn’t been charged yet. So I sent an email to Customer Service to see if maybe the amount will be adjusted once the product has shipped?

    • Kathy

      Happened to me too. I hope everyone checks their confirmation email!

    • Susan

      yes, just happened to me. i placed the order and it showed the discount, but when i got my email confirmation there was no discount…so i chatted with Amazon and they said they will refund me the $5 when my order is delivered. they also sent me an email saying that as well. great customer service. yes, a little ticked off that the promo didn’t work like it was supposed to, but in the end ok since they will refund me.

    • lily

      same here. Cancel the first order and placed it again, still didn’t show up. Before check out it was there and the confirmation email doesn’t have it. Chat with the customer service and he can see I still have this $5 promo in my account. He applied the promo to this order and I’m able to see the new order detail with the promo.
      Please check your confirmation email to make sure you got the discount!

    • holly

      The correct amount is now charged on my credit card. Not sure if my email to Customer Service triggered the fix OR they waited until the order was finalized.

      Btw, if y’all want a good coffee/art book, I ordered Sylvia Ji’s Day of the Dead
      Stunning art work. It’s the closest to owning one of her pieces.

  25. Emily

    Thank you!!!!!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Emily!

  26. Catherine

    If you did the book promo, make sure you check after they ship it out if you were charged the correct amount. My order confirmation and email showed the total with the discount. After it shipped out they charged me the full amount. CS who are usually very helpful made me feel as if they were doing me a massive favor giving me my $5 back.

  27. Robin Auten

    Is it expired? It won’t work for me.

    • Robin Auten

      Darn! I see it expired on the 12th. I just got the notification today. 🙁

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes. Over now 🙁
