Price drop
by Hugh Howey
Price dropped Oct 8
Hugh Howey's Wool is dystopian science fiction built on one chilling premise: humanity survives in a single buried silo, and the worst punishment is being sent outside to clean. It's a claustrophobic survival thriller with real ideas about control, hope, and the lies a society tells to keep itself together.

by John Steinbeck
Price dropped Sep 20
John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men follows two migrant ranch hands chasing a small, shared dream of land in Depression-era California, and its short length hides one of American fiction's most devastating endings.

by Joe Abercrombie
Price dropped Oct 8
The Devils by Joe Abercrombie throws a vampire, a werewolf, a necromancer, and a cursed knight together under one exhausted monk's watch, and turns that grimdark epic fantasy premise into a raucous, bloody, surprisingly funny ride across a shattered continent.

by Ray Bradbury
Price dropped Oct 6
Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 follows a fireman whose job is burning books, until a curious teenage neighbor cracks his certainty open. A short, blazing dystopian classic about a society that traded thought for comfort.

by Markus Zusak
Price dropped Sep 27
Markus Zusak's The Book Thief hands the story of a German girl in the Hitler years to the one narrator who sees all of it: Death. The result is a coming-of-age novel about a child who steals books in a country burning them, and about the people who keep her human while the world comes apart.

by Emily Henry
Price dropped Oct 8
Emily Henry's dual-timeline romance follows two best friends who spend one week a year together on vacation and everything else avoiding what that actually means, a friends-to-lovers slow burn for readers who want the ache to stretch across a full decade before it breaks.

by Charlotte McConaghy
Price dropped Oct 14
Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore strands a father and his three children on a remote sub-Antarctic seed vault island with a half-drowned stranger and a gathering storm, turning survival adventure into a literary thriller about what a family will bury to stay whole.

Price drop
by Neil deGrasse Tyson
Price dropped Oct 8
A pocket-sized hardback that treats one hypothetical alien encounter as two problems at once: a physics question and a mirror held up to us. Tyson plays it as part science explainer, part deadpan etiquette guide, and it carries far more weight than the cute premise lets on.
Prices may vary.
Price drop
by Michelle Alexander
Price dropped Oct 11
Michelle Alexander argues, with a litigator's discipline, that America's war on drugs and its machinery of mass incarceration did not dismantle the country's racial caste system but quietly rebuilt it under a new and colorblind-sounding name. A landmark argument that reshaped a generation's debate.

Price drop
by David Grann
Price dropped Oct 13
David Grann's The Wager takes a single 18th-century shipwreck and turns it into a study of how survival corrodes order and how empires manufacture their own truth. It braids a sea voyage, an island ordeal, and a court martial into one argument about whose version of events gets to become history.
Prices may vary.
Price drop
by Yuval Noah Harari
Price dropped Oct 7
Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens is big history with a thesis: that Homo sapiens came to rule the planet not through strength but through our talent for believing in shared stories. It's a sweeping, argument-driven survey that runs from the first toolmakers to the brink of bioengineering, and it wants you to argue with it.
