Is the reading drive the only place to get one? Also are they at every reading drive or only this years? I really want some of the other items but can not afford to buy more books if I were to spend all 400 points on the malice.

You can also buy them from other users, via Trades. They were released last reading drive and are there for this one. No one can tell the future but most likely it'll be there a third time. You have a few weeks to save up, if you save your tokens you can vend at Blue sky and get quite a nice heap of books to turn in.

The malice was on last year's RD too. You can only get it from here or by buying it from another user. Remember, nothing says you MUST buy a malice with your points

You can also stalk the Book Nook for cheap books; I got about 80 there, all for under 3K each. :)
It takes a lot of work to save up 400 books, but if you're going for the Malice, it's worth it. It's probably a lot more of a pain in the butt to save up the 175 million sP the thing is normally worth.
Well I only have to have 11 more books for the 400 but I was really wanting some of the other items. I am just undecided,lol!
