The LEGO Ideas team revealed the latest gift-with-purchase set, the #40698 LEGO Ideas Books Are My Passion. This was originally an entry to the LEGO Ideas “Me, Myself, and I” Challenge in 2023 submitted by LEGO fan Fr_An.
The set depicts cozying up with a good book in a comfy seat. It features a bookshelf with a ladder and books, a cushiony chair, a little table with a teacup, a printed globe, and a houseplant. Overall, the set comes with 285 pieces and a minifigure.
This gift-with-purchase set will be available from October 28th until November 11th with purchases of $130 / €130 / £130 or more at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. It is going to be a great little set to transfer into a LEGO Modular Building or your own custom build, and it has some useful accessories, too!
Speaking of gift-with-purchase sets, as a little bit of a surprise, LEGO brought back the #5008946 LEGO McLaren P1 Logo with purchases of the #42172 LEGO Technic McLaren P1 set. The set features a brick-built “P1” logo design over a hand-crank-powered black box that rotates the logo when turned. This offer is valid until November 27th at official LEGO stores and the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop.
The other freebie is the #30676 LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Kiki’s Coconut Attack and #30672 LEGO Minecraft Steve and Baby Panda polybag bundle with purchases of $50 or more until tomorrow, October 25th of LEGO Animal Crossing, LEGO Despicable Me 4, LEGO Fortnite, LEGO Minecraft, LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog, and LEGO Super Mario sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

This reminds me of the bookshelves in Diagon alley.
