Collins Classics

We have in stock a new range of classics published by Collins.  They have lovely covers, and for a short time, we have a special offer of two for $10, which makes them an absolute bargain.  The titles includes Oliver Twist by Dickens, Emma by Jane Austen, Sons and lovers by D H Lawrence, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte amongst others.  Even when the special offer is over at the end of October, the books are still a bargain at $6 each. An example of a couple of the covers are below.  Come in and grab one soon.

Ten Books Teens Need – Girls

The Fairfield Books staff have been gathering our favourite children’s books, divided into categories according to age with 10 books in each. So far we have blogged about our top 10 books for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, first readers, juniors and tweens. We have finally arrived at the category we found most difficult – teens. With so much great literature out there for the 15+ age groups, reducing the choices down to just 10 sparked heated debates and in the end was just too hard! So we have 20 best books for teens, 10 for girls and 10 for boys. Don’t be limited to one category however, while the books in each might be slightly more boy or girl orientated, all are fantastic reads.

So here are the first 10, our top picks for teenage girls – enjoy!
