A 2023 Prime Big Deal Days Must Have Guide for Book Lovers
A SECOND Prime Day this year?! Have you already scoured the Prime Big Deal Days pages for the best bookish finds? If not, you’re in luck! I’ve done all the hard work again for you, and put together a list of my favorite limited time deals for book lovers for this fall’s 2023 Prime Big Deal Days. From special edition hardcovers with ✨sprayed edges✨, insanely good deals on boxed sets of Booktok favorites, to aesthetic annotation supplies, to Kindles (I’m crying—it’s an even better deal than last year when I got my Kindle Oasis!), they’re all here. And I admit, I’ve already taken advantage of some of these–they were too good to pass up!
If you spy something amazing that should be added to the list, drop it in the comments!
BOOKS YOU’LL WANT ON YOUR SHELF:
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, limited print run special edition hardcover
$32.99, NOW $19.79 (SAVE 40%)
This was the mystery untitled Red Tower Books release, and it was just announced this morning! It features a beautiful new colorway cover, custom endpaper artwork, TWO new POV chapters from Xaden Riorson, black sprayed edges, and yes, a removable sticker. If you missed out on the first edition with the dragon sprayed edges, this is definitely a solid consolation prize!
The Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson (Paperback boxed set, books 1-3)
NOW $16.69
Holy moly, this is SUCH a good deal for these Brandon Sanderson! And these books are chonky—like over-1000-pages-each-chonky. If I didn’t already have this, it would be an immediate add to cart.
A Song of Fire & Ice series by George R.R. Martin (aka Game of Thrones leatherbound mini editions)
NOW $32.82
These are so beautiful and cute at the same time. Since we’re going to be waiting forever for the final two books, we might as well enjoy the ones we have. Less than $7 a piece for gorgeous leather bounds?!
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
$29.99, NOW $13.14 (SAVE 55%)
“THE MIND-BENDING CULT CLASSIC ABOUT A HOUSE THAT’S LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN ON THE OUTSIDE • A masterpiece of horror and an astonishingly immersive, maze-like reading experience that redefines the boundaries of a novel.”
This is similar to “S”, which is like reading a book within a book. There’s puzzles, and mysteries to be solved, and I’d had this on my TBR for so long. Time to snag it!
The Rise of the Dragon by George R.R. Martin (illustrated special edition)
$60.00, NOW $23.93 (SAVE 60%)
If you loved HBO’s House of the Dragon, or you know someone who does, you might want this gorgeous book.
“This lavish visual history—featuring over 180 all-new illustrations—is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the iconic family at the heart of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.”
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
$19.99, NOW $9.51 (SAVE 52%)
I cannot tell you how much I love this book. Ok, wait, yes, I can, here’s my review. This book is so gorgeously written. It’s a portal fantasy, and a book within a book. If you haven’t read this yet, please add it to your TBR immediately!
Pillow Thoughts by Courtney Peppernell
$,16.99 NOW $7.52 (SAVE 56%)
I loved this little book of poems (there are several sequels that I’ll be candid, I did not enjoy as much, but book one is great!).
Fractal Noise by Christopher Paolini (hardcover)
$28.99, NOW $12.76 (SAVE 56%)
From the author of Eragon, here’s the sequel To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, and it’s a hardcover?!
The Forests, Fairies, & Fungi Sticker Anthology

Ok, this one’s for my crafty reading journal, scrapbooking people. But who doesn’t love stickers?! And these are gorgeous!
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
$18.00, NOW $8.50 (SAVE 53%)
I’m so happy to see this series getting hype on Booktok and Bookstagram. Yeah, I’m one of those annoying hipster readers that read this before it was cool. But let’s be honest, it’s been cool since day one. I LOVE this series.
Dune by Frank Herbert (Deluxe special edition)
$40.00, NOW $18.79 (SAVE 53%)
This is SUCH a gorgeous special edition, with turquoise sprayed edges, illustrated endpapers, a reversible poster on the dust jacket, and a stamped foiled hardcover. I really loved the new adaptation, and can’t wait to watch the next installment when it comes out this November!
The Dune Saga by Frank Herbert (Deluxe special edition box set)
$150.00, NOW $63.30 (SAVE 58%)
So if just the first one above isn’t enough, and you want a whole box set of gorgeous sprayed edges and artwork, this is the one to get.
Rifle Paper Puffin classics boxed set
NOW $28.84
I already have the Little Women version in this set and it is SO cute. If you love Rifle Paper designs, and mini books, you’re going to love this set.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (Paperback boxed set)
$93.00, NOW $49.98 (SAVE 46%)
Not that you need another set, right? BUT, this is just under $10 a book, which is a fantastic deal…so if you don’t have a set yet, now’s the time to snag it.
Lore Olympus Vol 1 by Rachel Smythe
$19.99, NOW $10.29 (SAVE 49%)
If you haven’t watched the webtoon, this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel by Smythe is definitely worth reading! It’s a Hades and Persphone retelling, and I guarantee you’ve never read anything like it.
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
$17.00, NOW $9.00 (SAVE 47%)
I have heard only good things about this memoir, and it’s high on TBR—apparently it makes everyone cry.

READING DEVICES + MEMBERSHIPS/SUBSCRIPTIONS
Audible Membership
Get an Audible membership FREE for 30 days + one FREE book, then $14.95/month for one book credit + Plus library access.
$14.95, NOW $0 (SAVE 100% for 30 days)
I’ve had an Audible Premium membership last two years, 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. And of course, there are some that are exclusive to Audible, so if there’s a title you’ve been wanting to listen to, but can’t anywhere else, now’s the time! Plus, some Romantasy authors like Danielle L. Jensen actually publish their novels on Audible first and they’re included in the Audible library (with the hardcopies being released six months after the audiobook)!
Kindle
$99.99, NOW $74.99 (SAVE 25%)
Kindle Oasis
$249.99, NOW $199.99 (SAVE 20%)
I was a holdout on getting a Kindle for YEARS, but last Prime Day, I decided to snag an Oasis, and I’ve been so happy with it! I figured it was basically the same as reading on the Kindle app on my iPhone, If you’ve been thinking about getting a Kindle, TODAY is the day. They’re all on sale, plus they come with three months free Kindle Unlimited (that’s $30 back in our pockets).. 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).
Happy second Prime Day shopping, book lovers! I’ll add any new finds I come across and update the article over the next 24 hours, so make sure to bookmark it!
