Item 4.01                      Changes In Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On October 23, 2013, Books-A-Million, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The engagement of Grant Thornton was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee. Grant Thornton had previously served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012. Grant Thornton will review the Company’s quarterly consolidated financial statements beginning with the fiscal quarter ending November 2, 2013 and will audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2014.  Additionally, Grant Thornton will also audit the Company’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

During the Company’s fiscal year ended February 2, 2013 and through October 23, 2013, neither the Company, nor anyone on the Company’s behalf, consulted Grant Thornton regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or (ii) any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
