Of all of the things to shop for and subsequently purchase on the Internet, there are quite a few things we would categorize as a waste of money, plus the burden of another an old shipping box in your home. But books. Books. Books are never a waste of money or shipping containers. They are relatively cheap objects you can order online and not only not regret making the purchase, but in fact be all the better for it. Books are good and good for us, that’s just the way it is.
Books are a standout to shop for around Amazon’s Prime Day, especially if you’re the type of reader that either 1. Reads books quickly and therefore has a hard time committing to spending a bunch of money on them. Or, 2. Is for some reason required to buy books in groups and groups only. Although Prime Day isn’t here quite yet — no hard date yet, but we’re expecting early July — the sale on books is ongoing.
Ahead of official Prime Day celebrations, we rounded up some on-sale choices now that you can already score leading up to the big day. There are some classics, some bright new novels, and some in-depth non-fiction books that’ll teach you a little something about the world as it is. Keep checking back for more updates as the sale date gets closer.
