Halloween is just around the corner! How are you getting ready for the holiday? Are you one of those (very generous) people who will be giving out candy to the neighborhood kids? Or are you going to a festive costume party? Even if you’re not doing any of the above and just relaxing at home, you can still get into the spirit with this set of books from Barnes & Noble!

The Horror Collection ($44.95) from Barnes & Noble Leather Bound Classics is a collection of three beautifully bound books that are fit to show off in your personal library. The horror collection includes the following beloved horror classics.

Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles (the first three books in the series)
The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe
Gregory Maguire’s Wicked and Son of a Witch

Fabulous right? I have two of B&N’s leather bound books and I’m definitely going to pick up more because they are a great addition to a personal library. The text is easy to read, they’re well made, will last forever and you’ll be able to pass these on to other members of your family for generations.

In addition to being very apropos for Halloween, these would be perfect gifts for the avid book reader in your family! You can purchase these online through the Barnes & Noble website.

Books for the Bookworm

These awesome boxed sets would be a great gift for the young (or young at heart) reader in your family. What’s good about boxed sets are, they’re often hardcover and/or limited edition so they make great collector’s items as well. Books are a great investment and gift as they can be enjoyed over and over again.

Of course I had to start with the the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. This series has swept up more than a few of my friends and now all four hardcover books are available in one boxed set. $59 at Barnes & Noble

More fabulous boxed sets after the fold…

Another classic set is the Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling. Truly a collector’s item, this boxed set has all seven of the books in the series incased in a fun trunk-like cardboard box. $137 at Barnes & Noble

The Chronicles of Narnia Hardcover Boxed Set by C. S. Lewis would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s library. $96 at Barnes & Noble

Last but not least, my favourite series, A Wrinkle In Time Quintet Boxed Set by the late Madeleine L’Engle. I remember reading this back in Jr. High and the story is still very touching. I highly recommend this series if you or someone you know is a fan of any of the sets above. $30 at Barnes & Noble
