A Waterstones customer has delighted book lovers after sharing an 'awesome' deal that many were unaware of. The offer, which provides a free drink with the purchase of the store's Book of the Month, has gone viral on TikTok.
Content creator Phoebe, known as @Phoebes.booktok on the platform, posted a video explaining the promotion. She said: 'PSA: If you get Waterstones' book of the month, you get a free drink.' In her caption, she added: 'Bet you didn't know this about Waterstones! If you get their book of the month (this month is the paperback of The Raven's Scholar) then you get a free drink! I went for an iced latte with coconut milk and hazelnut syrup!'
The deal is available at participating stores, with Waterstones typically selecting several Book of the Month winners across fiction, non-fiction, and children's categories. Waterstones Bradford recently promoted the offer on Instagram, writing: 'Enjoy a free drink in our Cafe W when you purchase one of our May BOTM's! A range of books for everyone!'
Phoebe's video garnered over 20,000 views and thousands of likes, with many commenters expressing surprise. One wrote: 'I never knew this!' Another said: 'No way I never knew this.' A third commented: 'This is awesome!' Some shoppers were disappointed, noting their local Waterstones lacks a cafe.
The promotion has encouraged some customers to make regular purchases. Phoebe replied to a comment: 'Ikr! I only found out today!! watch me now buy a new book every month for free coffee.' Another book lover shared: 'Just found out on Thursday! Bought Heart The Lover.'
