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.

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

by Bonnie Garmus
Price dropped Oct 9
Bonnie Garmus's Lessons in Chemistry hands us Elizabeth Zott, a 1960s research chemist with zero patience for nonsense, who ends up reinventing a daytime cooking show into a quiet act of rebellion. It's witty, warm, and angrier than its breezy surface suggests, a feminist historical novel with a real charge underneath the comedy.

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 Freida McFadden
Price dropped Oct 8
Freida McFadden turns an advice columnist into a woman done giving advice in Dear Debbie, a dark-comedy revenge thriller about a wife and mother who decides other people's consequences are finally due. It's a mean, funny, fast psychological thriller for readers who want their catharsis served cold.
Price drop
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.
Prices may vary.
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.
