EARLY PRIME DAY BOOK DEALS: Don't miss Amazon's Prime Day book deals! As of June 26, save on hundreds of bestselling titles, from #BookTok favorites to Amazon's Best Books of the Year So Far.
Amazon Prime Day isn’t here just yet, but the retailer is kicking off its annual sales event with book deals even the most loyal brick-and-mortar bibliophiles won’t want to miss. (Amazon did start as a bookstore, so it’s no surprise the company’s starting its biggest sale of the year with a lineup of discounted reads.)
As of June 26, you can snag bestsellers, trendy #BookTok books (you know, to see what all the hype is about), and select books from Amazon’s Best Books of the Year So Far list at up to 80% off. Bonus deal: Through July 17, Prime Members can also get three months of Kindle Unlimited for free (renews at $11.99 per month afterward or until canceled).
Here are the best Amazon book deals to shop before Prime Day officially kicks off on July 16-17:
Score up to 85% off Kindle books, including Holly Gramazio’s The Husbands, which was named one of Amazon's Best Books of the Year So Far. (It’s also one of my previous Book of the Month picks.)
The Husbands is what the Washington Post calls “a bottomless champagne flute of a novel (without the hangover),” and once you hear the premise, you'll understand why.
The story follows a woman who meets a mysterious man in her home after a night out. According to her phone, photos, and the wedding band on his finger, he's not actually a stranger. However, once she gets to know this man, he suddenly disappears into the attic, only to be replaced by a brand-new husband. As the main character comes to realize what's happening, she cycles through hundreds of husbands throughout the story.
