So I have a whole cart load of books I am planning on buying, and I would like to share my current wish list with you. I am big into fashion so Second Skin: The Erotic Art Of Lingerie and 100 Ideas that Changed Fashion are on my to-buy list. I am also a big manga/anime fan so getting the next March Story, Vol. 3 is certainly big on my list. We are going to Paris, France for vacation this summer and Eyewitness is a great travel guide, so Eyewitness Travel Guides Paris is a must-have (also a great deal at 34% off). Last but not least I want to get Vampire Empire Book 1 because I have heard really good things about it.

What is on your wish list?

I personally love this series of books.  There are a couple of the books that i am interested in buying.  One of them is the Gluten-free Cooking for Dummies on sale for $11.99 (regular price is $23.99).  So many people that I know are on this special diet and I would love to have a few of these recipes handy.  Another one that caught my eye was a recommendation from a friend.  They told me that they bought the Guitar for Dummies book and they play very well now.  I was told that it is easy to follow and really works!  It is on sale right now for $14.99 (regular price is $29.99).  For someone who just wants to learn, to play for fun, this book is an inexpensive way of learning.

In addition to this great deal, they have a promotion to go along with it.  Until 1st April 2012,plum rewards and irewards members can enter to win 1 of 4 cash prizes of $5,000 with the purchase of one of the “Dummies” books. Check out Chapters Canada for the rules and regulations.

If you ever get the chance-go to the warehouse store in St. Catharines-you could spend days in there finding great bargain books!

Chapters Canada is selling the hardcover Pride & Prejudice & Zombies for a really amazing price! Pay only $4.74 – originally $14.95. You are saving 67%.

• Enjoy this innovative expansion of Jane Austin’s Novel

There aren’t any reviews on Chapters, despite this book being a top 50 bargain book. I checked this book out on Amazon.ca where the softcover is priced at $10.79, Chapter’s price is over 50% off Amazon’s price! There are several reviews on Amazon.ca that range from 1 star to 5 star. I do like this one though:

I was excited about this book as soon as I heard the title and I couldn’t wait to read it. Really, how can anything with zombies AND ninjas in it be bad? I knew as soon as I read the first line (a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains) that I was in for a treat. I was not dissappointed. This book had me laughing so hard I decided it wouldn’t be safe to read at work. I expect most people that are going to read this have already read the original Pride and Prejudice (which I love and have read many times). Part of the appeal of this book is seeing familiar lines blanketed by zombie – err “unmentionable” – action….

Have any of our Moosers actually read this book?

The calendars are all on sale for an additional 50% off the already reduced price.  This is a spectacular deal!  The reason I say this is because the calendars range from $1.49 and go to $2.99.  I can’t believe the most expensive calendar they have is only $2.99!  There are 59 different calendars to choose from but they will be going fast at these prices.  They are on for a limited time only until they run out.

I love this cooking show: Chef at Home, and the chef Michael Smith is brilliant. Right now you can get 34% off his cookbook, The Best of Chef at Home: Essential Recipes for Today’s Kitchen. Currently it is only $18.77, originally $29.95.

• Buy The Best of Chef at Home for your home

This book is brilliant, a cookbook that is easy to use and encourages variations – I love that! This book has 75 ratings with a perfect 5/5 stars overall.

I love this review:

This is a great cookbook, with so many recipes that you will actually use, more than your average book. For the longest time, I’d record all the Chef at Home episodes, and now I have all the favorites collected in this book. I would definitly recommend this book to any kind of cook, beginner to pro, as the ingredients arent impossible to find, the recipes are easy to follow, and the food turns out great. Most of all, what Ive found with Michael Smith is that you start to make the connections in the kitchen with flavours that go together and how the foods all connect, allowing you to really become a true cook. Love it!

It is really funny, I currently record all his Chef at Home rerun episodes on the Food Network because we got it for a couple months as a sample, and I am certainly taking advantage. I am going to be buying this book because after flipping through at in store at Chapters (and at full price) I saw so many recipes I would actually use!

The last show I watched of his he was talking about encrusting your french toast: once it is all egg/milk dipped – roll it in something! I did that yesterday for the hubby and I, and the picture above is of the hubby’s oatmeal encrusted french toast.
