21 of the Best Prime Day Deals for Book Lovers
Have you already scoured the Prime Day deals? If not, I’ve done all the hard work for you, and put together a list of my favorite limited time deals for book lovers today. From special edition hardcovers with ✨sprayed edges✨, to aesthetic annotation supplies, to Kindles, they’re all here. And I admit, I’ve already taken advantage of some of these–they were too good to pass up!
BOOKS YOU’LL WANT ON YOUR SHELF:
The Lord of the Rings, special Tolkien illustrated hardcover edition
$75, NOW $29.12 (SAVE 61%)
I am crying over this one. As you saw from the hero image of this post, I already own this gorgeous illustrated special edition with sprayed edges of The Lord of the Rings. And let me tell you, it was not at this price. It’s a STUNNING copy, and even has a fold out map of middle earth.
The Lord of the Rings, boxed set
$35, NOW $15.55 (SAVE 56%)
I snagged this one immediately. It’s been in my cart for ages, and with The Rings of Power Amazon Prime TV show coming soon, and the new show tie-in covers just released, I imagine these will be harder to find. I personally love these matte covers, and the illustrations. It’s a great boxed set.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (Illustrated special edition by Andrews McMeel)
$45, NOW $22.20 (SAVE 49%)
I already have three of these stunning illustrated special edition classics, and they have become some of my favorite editions. Aside from being beautiful, they also come with incredible inserts like letters from the characters, family trees, maps, and more. Can’t wait to add this one to my collection!
All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir
$19.99, NOW $9.05 (SAVE 55%)
This one’s been on my TBR since its release. An Ember in the Ashes is an old favorite, so anything by Sabaa Tahir is an automatic yes. #ProTip: this is also part of Amazon’s buy one, get one 50% off book sale, so you can save an additional 50% off this price. A hardcover for less than a latte?! Yes, please. P.S. Crying in H Mart, Book Lovers, Beach Read, and Lore Olympus Vol 2 are also all part of this sale.
The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness, Boxed Set
$54, NOW $20.36 (SAVE 62%)
So many people seem to love this trilogy and show. I candidly haven’t read or watched it, but hey, it’s a good deal, so if you’re a fan, you can snag it for 62% off.
Shades of Magic Trilogy by V.E. Schwab, Boxed Set
$53.97, NOW $23.16 (SAVE 57%)
V.E. Schwab is on my autobuy author list, and don’t we all love a good boxed set?! If you’re a fan of portal fantasies, and multiple dimensions, this is an incredible series to check out if you’re getting into adult fantasy.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab, special edition
$29.99, NOW $13.44 (SAVE 55%)
A Booktok darling, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is also very polarizing. People love it or hate it. But almost everyone agree it’s still beautifully written. A story that spans centuries, it’s a personal favorite. And this gorgeous special edition has stunning gold foiling on the hardcover and a gold bookmark.
Caraval by Stephanie Garber, Paperback Boxed Set
$35.97, NOW $17.62 (SAVE 51%)
I know nothing about this series other than that Booktok is obsessed with it. It’s about an “unbreakable bond between two sisters”, and sounds like it might have a cirque du soleil style. Since The Night Circus is one of my favorite books of all time, this series is definitely on my TBR.
If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
$17.99, NOW $9.79 (SAVE 46%)
Another book on my TBR. Dark academia vibes, with rivalries and all the consequences of them. Honestly, I’m debating between this one and the UK cover…
The Mistborn Saga by Brandon Sanderson, Boxed Set
$31.97, NOW $18.27 (SAVE 43%)
Everyone needs some Brandy Sandy on their shelves. I honestly feel like a bad fantasy reader for not having read this yet. It’s on my TBR, I promise, and I’m honestly really looking forward to it. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say this didn’t love this series.
Vow of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson (Dance of Thieves, #2)
$19.99, NOW $11.03 (SAVE 45%)
If I didn’t already have this book sitting in one of many TBR piles, I’d be adding it to cart. I’ve only ever heard great things on Booktok about this duology, so if you only have book one or you just want a great deal, grab it while you can.
Harry Potter: The Illustrated Collection, Boxed Set
$120.00, NOW $62.10 (SAVE 48%)
If you’ve been waiting to collect these gorgeous, large-style, fully illustrated editions of the first three Harry Potter books, now’s the time. I honestly haven’t seen them this low ever. Illustrated by Jim Kay, these are definitely a special collectible for a Potterhead.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, Boxed Set
$23.98, NOW $12.24 (SAVE 49%)
Yet another Booktok series favorite to add to your shelves, and today’s the day. Crooked Kingdom is one of my favorite books in the entire series–I cried like a baby reading it.
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Boxed Set 1-4
$39.96, NOW $16.61 (SAVE 58%)
I’ve slowly been thrifting these over the past couple years, but honestly, this price is about the same as thrifting, and you can get them brand new. And the Boxed Set of 4-8 are also on sale.

READING DEVICES + MEMBERSHIPS/SUBSCRIPTIONS
Audible Membership
Get an Audible membership FREE for three months, then $14.95/month for one book credit + Plus library access. Only during Prime Day sale.
$44.85, NOW $0 (SAVE 100% for three months)
I got an Audible membership last year, and I honestly love it. While I normally grab audiobooks from my local library via Libby or these other apps, there have been several times with new releases where they aren’t available yet, or have a super long wait list, so it’s nice to be able to jump into audible and start listening.
Kindle
$89.99, NOW $44.99 (SAVE 50%)
Kindle Paperwhite
$139.99, NOW $94.99 (SAVE 32%)
Kindle Oasis
$299.99, NOW $209.99 (SAVE 30%)
I have been on the fence about getting a Kindle for YEARS. I read on the Kindle app on my iPhone all the time, and will wear blue light glasses if my eyes feel tired. BUT, today is the day, I think I’m sold on getting a Kindle. They’re all 30-50% off, plus they come with three months free Kindle Unlimited (that’s almost $30 back in our pockets), and a $5 Kindle coupon. I mean…it’s hard to pass up. And now that travel is back on the table, I do like the idea of being able to bring my kindle instead of an entire suitcase of books (yes, I am guilty of doing this many times over). Plus, I asked my Booktok community if I should get one, and it was an overwhelming “YES!”:

Happy Prime Day shopping, book lovers! I’ll potentially add any new finds I come across and update the article in the next 24 hours.
