Chapters is having an in-store 50% off bestsellers and 20% off all other books sale this coming Sunday, May 28th. You need to be an iRewards member. I'm currently building a list of books. An asterisk indicates a good chance of my actually making a purchase, assuming that the title is in stock, of course.

I welcome any suggestions.
