Not only is there a brand new "Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off" sale at Amazon right now for books and more, but there's also a handful of popular eBooks down to just $2 up for grabs right now.
That includes the soon-to-be-starring Ryan Gosling major motion picture "Project Mail Mary" by Andy Weir, author of The Martian (also a film) and Artemis (not a film, still just a book). I've read and listened to Project Hail Mary, and I'd highly recommend both versions.
You can check your local library for the audio version using apps like Libby, or use another audiobook service like Audible, which frequently has free or cheap membership sales during events like Prime Day (coming up again soon this summer). For now, $2 for a book of such quality is well worth considering for your next read.
Other notable books in the sale include Dan Brown's Inferno (funnily enough, also a film), and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 (you guessed it, adapted into film as well, are you keeping up with this?). Both have dropped to $2 as well, so you're getting three great books at a mega discount price today.
I've also included several other eBooks down to $2 or less today, most of which are taken from Amazon's top seller chart, so they've got to be good... right?
Amazon's Buy 1, Get 1 Half Off Book Sale
Amazon’s wider Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off promotion covers a range of media, including books, movies, and more, so you're not limited to pairing two of the same item type. For example, you could grab a bestselling hardcover and a 4K Blu-ray, and get 50% off the cheaper of the two.
It’s a solid opportunity to pick up a Father’s Day gift while also treating yourself. To get the discount, both items need to be added to your cart and purchased together.
The full list of eligible items is extensive, and it’s worth digging through the pages or using the search bar, some of the best books are buried a few layers deep. That said, there are some standout finds, including recent 2025 hardcover releases that are already topping Amazon’s bestseller charts.
The most notable is Sunrise on the Reaping, the new Hunger Games prequel, which hit shelves earlier this year and already has a film adaptation in development. There’s also a full Hunger Games box set included, making this a great time to complete the collection.
