Book Day (Sant Jordi in Catalunya) is here. There are only a few days left until we celebrate this precious day, which commemorates the death of two key writers of literature. On the one hand, our Miguel de Cervantes; on the other, the magnificent William Shakespeare.
This April 23 we will buy many books . This is a good time to enjoy literature and make others enjoy it too. If you also go out for a walk in Barcelona, you will have the opportunity to meet the best of media literature. And maybe, if you are patient and willing to queue, you can take home a dedicated book.
Meanwhile, you can take a look at the online stores. And buy your books in advance. In this way, you will save queues and you can start reading the books you want as soon as possible. Keep in mind, on the other hand, that during these days they offer between a 5 and 10% discount in most bookstores . It is a good opportunity to get them at a better price.
Here are ten online bookstores to buy books.
1. Amazon
It is the online book store par excellence. Amazon started as a book store and over the years has become the pantry of the world. In any case, if you want to get hold of a good book and get it pretty quickly, you may want to take a look at their catalog. In fact, if you are registered with Amazon Prime, we recommend you take advantage of free shipping costs.
You can search and receive the books that are on pre-sale before anyone else. This week, Amazon also celebrates Book Week, so you will have the opportunity to access special promotions and featured books . If you are one of those who allow themselves to be advised, perhaps you will find something interesting here.
2. House of the Book
Casa del Libro is one of the most popular stores on the Internet to buy books. Here you will find practically everything and you can become a member. The service they offer is more or less like Amazon's . You pay an annual fee of ten euros. And in return, you receive the books free of charge at home.
It is a matter of preferences. Before deciding, make sure that Casa del Libro has all the books that you would normally buy. This way, you can get more out of your subscription . And get interesting discounts.
3. Fnac
If you prefer, at Fnac you can also become a member. And in return, participate in interesting promotions . Like those offered by all the Days of the Book. If you buy two books, they will give you two ecological glasses at a better price. And if you are a member, with the purchase of four you will get it for free.
The advantages of buying at Fnac are higher if, in addition to buying books, you need to purchase discs or technology. Because you will kill two birds with one stone. In addition, the offer in terms of graphic novels, comics, travel or cooking and other specialist sections is very extensive . Which is always appreciated.
4. The English Court
El Corte Inglés has its own book section. And the truth is that it is very extensive. If you access their website, you can access the News section, see which are the best-selling books and access special sections, such as Children's Books or Sagas and youth series .

The great advantage of this store is that in addition to acquiring reading books , you have the option of acquiring textbooks, games, paint, colors, pencils, stickers and even toys.
6. Universal Comics
That yours are comics? Well in that case, you have to take a look at this store. Although today you can buy comics in any generalist bookstore, it is most likely that for more specific things you should go to a specialized store , such as Universal Comics.
