Anti-Superbowl Sale: 25% off Everything at Ebooks Direct

[dianeduane]

I’m not a wild fan of any kind of football. The sport that some people call soccer is okay — I can take it or leave it — but US football leaves me completely cold. Maybe I’m missing a gene or something.

Around this time every year, a huge fooforaw starts up surrounding the end of the US football season. Mostly the recurrence of this particular event simply makes me sigh with relief, as it means that the beginning of baseball season now isn’t too far away, and the start of Spring Training is just over the horizon.

That said, I don’t see why I shouldn’t spread around this slight but welcome lightening of the local mood. For those of you who’re interested, and those of you who’d rather curl up with a good ebook instead of watching a bunch of guys in pads and helments rush fruitlessly up- and downfield, the Ebooks Direct store will be offering a discount on everything in the place this weekend. (Actually, until midnight Hawai’ian time on February 7th, as some people may want something to read to counteract the sighs and groans of nearby football fans whose team lost.)

Just stop by the store and use the discount code NOSUPERBOWLHERE to get 25% off anything you buy. The full 9-volume set of Young Wizards International Edition ebooks is there, along with Peter’s Tales of Old Russia series and the newish anthology Uptown Local and Other Interventions: not to mention much other stuff. (Details on how to use coupon codes at our store are here.)

So enjoy! (And I’m going to enjoy sitting by the fire reading on Sunday, and paying the cataclysmic event in Indianapolis no further attention whatsoever.)

Still a Mets fan? Braced for another season? Be interesting to see how we cope without Reyes. I happen to think we'll be fine but I'm an eternal optimist. (Just as well, being a Mets and Dolphins fan :P)

Haha, we'll be having a crafting circle Sunday. If nothing else, the Superbowl makes a great excuse to get together and do something else.

It's my goal every year to see how long I can avoid even finding out what teams are playing, let alone who wins. The whole thing is just so stupid.

Diane, I hope I didn't miss a previous notice about this somewhere, but I'm wondering if the first two cat books are going to be available as ebooks through your store.

Oh, this is lovely. :D

I don't know about missing a gene, but I'm completely with you on football. My appreciation of the sport is roughly along the lines of "There are some men in uniforms running around on a large green field with a spheroid! ... I'm told this is culturally significant for some reason?"

I've got a friend coming over during the Super Bowl to hang out and watch stuff (probably favorite episodes of either Supernatural or Battlestar Galactica), while my husband goes to the Super Bowl party that her husband is hosting. Much as I hate to fall in so tidily along gender stereotype lines, there's no denying that we're all going to have a lot more fun this way.
