Cyber Monday Book Deals 2025: Expand Your Library for Less

For romantasy fans, this 544‑page paperback proved a propulsive starter to The Empyrean in our testing, with high‑stakes action and strong romantic tension. At a 7/10, it’s a fun pick at $20.99, though not as polished as higher‑scoring deals in this guide. We found some worldbuilding and character beats thin, and the modern dialogue plus explicit language can jar depending on taste. Published in 2024 in English, it’s an easy gateway if you’re ready to commit to an ongoing series.

Rich, character‑driven storytelling powers this 400‑page hardcover, and during our review we found its portrait of community and empathy deeply affecting. It’s award‑winning and widely praised, and its 9/10 score reflects how memorable the cast is, even if pacing slows as the narrative spans decades. At $28.00, it’s pricier than some deals, but the literary payoff makes it a worthy splurge. Our experience shows sensitive readers should note disturbing depictions of institutions and mistreatment; otherwise it’s a standout standalone pick.

The Women landed at 4.5/10 in our testing - powerful in moments but our weakest value pick in this batch at $30. We found the vivid reconstruction of Vietnam-era nurses gripping and emotionally charged, and the 480-page hardcover will satisfy readers seeking immersive historical scenes. Yet secondary characters can feel thin, and some portrayals (especially around race) drew criticism in our review. If you're curious, consider waiting for a deeper discount or library copy.

For nonfiction that reads like a thriller, this 352‑page NOOK eBook delivered in our testing with instant download and seamless syncing across devices. The meticulous primary‑source research fuels a gripping, page‑turning narrative, earning it an 8.5/10 and strong value at $14.99. Our experience shows a few gaps are inevitable given 18th‑century records, but the historical depth more than compensates. Be aware of graphic depictions of suffering and violence; otherwise it’s one of the better‑scoring bargains for history and true‑crime fans.

Grisham's Camino Ghosts earned a 5.5/10 in our review - solid, familiar series fare that's best for returning readers. We found the historical backstory and themes of heritage add welcome depth, and the $10.99 mass-market paperback keeps it budget-friendly for gifting or travel. However, pacing is slower than his courtroom thrillers, some resolutions feel predictable, and newcomers may miss context from earlier Camino books. If you want an easy, series-comfort read at a low price, the 432-page paperback fits the bill.

While not the highest scorer at 6.5/10, Lessons in Chemistry impressed us during testing with a magnetic protagonist whose sharp voice propels the 400-page hardcover. We found its blend of humor and serious themes approachable for book clubs and casual readers alike, and this B&N Exclusive Edition at $16 is a nice giftable price. That said, the tonal shifts can feel uneven, and a few implausible threads (yes, including the dog's perspective) may pull you out. Still, it's a lively 2022 standout.

Scoring 7.5/10, Hábitos Atómicos remains one of the most actionable habit guides we've tested, especially at $12.71. Our experience shows the Four Laws framework and clear, real-world examples make it easy to implement changes quickly, and the 338-page Spanish paperback is great for daily reference. Some ideas repeat and seasoned self-help readers may find fewer new insights. For practical, repeatable habits in Spanish at a low price, it's hard to beat.

Looking for a breezy standalone rom-com? During our review of Funny Story, we found the sharp, hilarious dialogue and crackling chemistry carry its 400-page 2024 NOOK eBook; while not our highest scorer at 6.5/10, it’s undeniably charming. At $12.99, it’s an easy add-to-cart, and the multiple formats (ebook, hardcover, paperback, audiobook) make it flexible for your commute or couch. Just know the fake-dating setup and petty scheming keep some beats predictable, so it’s better for comfort-read vibes than for readers craving big surprises.

Pour continuer la saga en français, cette édition NOOK offre un téléchargement instantané et la commodité de l’eBook pour reprendre l’Empyrean sans attendre. During our review, we found the sequel divisive—some chapters feel overly long or repetitive—and page counts vary across formats, which can complicate pacing expectations. At $14.99 and 400 pages (2024), its 4.5/10 score places it below better values in this roundup. Best for Francophone fans already invested in the series; newcomers will find stronger, higher‑rated deals elsewhere.

At just $5 through Book of the Month, this 9.5/10 standout is our best overall value and top-rated pick for Cyber Monday. In our testing, the decades-spanning friendship and richly drawn characters made the 476-page journey fly by, while its thoughtful look at video games as an emotional, creative medium felt fresh. Some readers may be daunted by the length, and debates around aspects of its game-design origins remain, but the storytelling won us over. Available in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook for any reading preference.

If you love psychological thrillers, this 400‑page paperback kept us turning pages with tightly wound twists and an uneasy, escalating tone. We found the story especially gripping in audio, where multiple narrators add layers to the unreliable perspectives. Its 7.5/10 score places it above average in our guide, though the $19.98 price isn’t the absolute lowest. Our experience shows the mature, disturbing subject matter and polarizing reveals won’t suit everyone; those sensitive to dark themes should proceed with care.

If you’re deep into the Sarah J. Maas multiverse, this 848‑page paperback connects threads across series and offers plenty of immersive worldbuilding time. In our testing, the size proved cumbersome to carry and we found the pacing uneven, with some plotlines feeling rushed or underdeveloped. Priced at $20.00 and published in 2025, its 4.5/10 score makes it a niche pick compared with higher‑rated deals in this guide. Best for dedicated fans; casual readers may prefer tighter, more broadly appealing bargains.

Glitzy and compulsively readable, this 400‑page hardcover won us over in testing with Evelyn’s magnetic voice, brisk pacing, and big emotional swings. It earned an 8/10 for accessibility and payoff, making the $22.49 price appealing for gift‑givers or book‑club picks. During our review, we noted some heavy exposition and show‑not‑tell moments, and certain portrayals of queer and racial experiences lack nuance. If you’re craving subtle literary prose, look elsewhere—otherwise expect a fast, satisfying read in English from 2017.

Project Hail Mary scored 7.5/10 in our testing for its infectious, problem-solving spirit and inventive twists that kept us glued to the 496-page eBook. We found the science-forward approach makes it a smart pick for commuters and night readers who like pausing to ponder details, especially at $12.99. Be aware the heavy exposition can slow momentum for some. If you enjoy speculative puzzles and solo-survival stakes, this 2021 release delivers excellent entertainment per dollar.

For Spanish-language readers, this Dune eBook punches above its 8/10 score thanks to an $8.99 price and an epic 784-page journey. In our review, the genre-defining worldbuilding and sweeping narrative made it an easy recommendation for anyone wanting to start Las Crónicas de Dune. Do note the DRM (EPUB/Adobe/CARE on some sellers), which can restrict device flexibility, and it's not the original English text. If you're comfortable with Spanish eBooks, the value here is exceptional.

Babel lands at 6.5/10 in our review: ambitious, idea-rich, and rewarding if you want depth over speed. We found the fusion of historical detail with a unique magic system and sharp commentary on imperialism and language compelling across its 560-page paperback during our testing. At $20, it's not our cheapest pick, and the didactic tone some readers mention (plus the sheer length) can test momentum. For patient readers, though, the worldbuilding justifies the investment.

Martin's five-book boxed set scored 7/10 in our review: an immersive 4,272-page plunge into Westeros that's ideal for marathon readers. We found the completeness compelling for anyone who wants the early series in one purchase, though at $108 it's far pricier than other boxed deals here. The paperback set is heavy and bulky, so it's not the most portable gift. If you value total immersion over bargain pricing, this remains a definitive way to read the saga.

Bundling It Ends with Us and It Starts with Us, this 2023 paperback boxed set keeps the emotional momentum intact for seamless, in-series binge reading. In our testing, the 720 pages and widely praised, high-stakes storytelling earned a solid 7/10, making it a smart mid-tier pick at $34.99 from Barnes & Noble. Do note the compact box can feel heavier and less durable than hardcover options, and some mass printings show binding or printing quirks—inspect your copy if you’re gifting.

Collectors and classics lovers will appreciate this leather‑bound hardcover that gathers all six Austen novels plus Lady Susan in one handsome volume. During our review, we loved the gilt edges and decorative endpapers, though the small type and 1,232-page heft made long sessions less comfortable. At $29.99, its 8/10 score reflects strong Cyber Monday value for display and occasional reading in English. Our experience shows it’s best for shelf‑worthy prestige and dipping in, while careful buyers should inspect for rare binding defects.

Looking to stock up fast? This 4‑book paperback box set bundles The Hunger Games trilogy plus the prequel for 2,720 pages of bingeable reading at a fair $49.56. During our review, we found the value outstanding and crowned it our top‑rated choice at 9.5/10, though paperback spines and the box can show wear with heavy use. Our experience shows new readers love the completeness, while series purists may skip the prequel. Published in 2023 in English, it’s an easy, budget‑friendly library builder.

This 384‑page paperback entry in the Thursday Murder Club series charmed us during our review with its blend of humor and heart, especially the tender handling of a dementia subplot. Short, accessible chapters made it perfect for commutes and quick breaks in our testing. At $12.99 and a 6/10 score, it’s a decent value, though not a standout among Cyber Monday deals. Newcomers may feel lost amid many characters and subplots—our experience shows it plays best if you’ve read earlier books.

This 10/10 boxed set is our best deal in the guide: all five Percy Jackson novels plus a bonus poster for just $31.11. During our testing, the 1,920-page total offered weeks of page-turning adventure, perfect for new readers and gift buyers who want the complete series in one shot. Paperbacks can crease and the box is bulky to carry or ship, but the value overwhelms those quibbles. If you're stocking a kid's shelf, start here.

Among this batch, Demon Copperhead is our top-rated pick, earning an 8/10 for its rich, evocative voice and unflinching look at the opioid crisis and rural poverty. In our testing, the 548-page 2022 paperback gripped us chapter after chapter, delivering literary heft at a remarkable $8.00 on PangoBooks. It’s not a quick read, though—the length and dense plotting demand focus. Our experience shows that readers who like immersive, issue-driven fiction will find it deeply rewarding.
