Amazon has dropped another buy one, get one 50% off sale on books ahead of Father’s Day weekend. The online retailer has continued to be one of the best places to buy books online in 2025, and sales like these are the best time to buy new books for lower prices. This particular promotion includes a variety of popular new releases as well as ongoing bestsellers at lower prices than you’ll find anywhere else.
Alongside books, this sale also includes some popular 4K movies as well as board games. So if you’re looking for a good Father’s Day gift and also want to pick up something for yourself, this is a great chance to save. You can check everything included in the sale below or scroll down for some of my top book picks within.

Amazon’s sale includes a mix of different media types, all of which are eligible for the buy one, get one 50% off promotion. So although I’ve only highlighted books here, you could get a book and a 4K movie and still get 50% off on whichever item is cheaper. To take advantage of the discount, you will need to place both items in your cart and purchase them at the same time. I’d also recommend really taking the time to scroll through the many pages within the eligible items list or using the search function because some of the best books are hidden pretty deep within the sale.
Top picks from the sale
Overall, there are some really good books within this sale if you dig deep enough. Perhaps the most enticing options, however, are some of the biggest new releases of 2025. These are all hardcover books that have already topped the Amazon bestseller charts this year but are somehow included in this sale. My top pick would be the new Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, which released earlier this year and already has a movie in the works. There’s also a bundle of all of the other Hunger Games books included in this promotion if you wanted to collect the entire set all at once.
Also among the list of popular new releases is the latest Stephen King book, Never Flinch. This book just came out at the end of May, so it’s pretty surprising to already see it here in Amazon’s sale. It’s been fairly well-received since its initial release and must-have for any fans of King’s work.
If you’re looking for deluxe editions and box sets, those are also surprisingly included in this sale. Most of the Lord of the Rings books are part of the promotion as well as the massive illustrated edition featuring drawings from Tolkien himself. You can also find a box set featuring all five Game of Thrones books in A Song of Ice and Fire within this as well as some of individual titles within that series. For fans of the Harry Potter Books, there are also discounts on the MinaLima interactive illustrated editions as well.
Outside of the popular new releases, my personal recommendation would be the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, all of which are currently in this sale. These are some of my favorite LitRPG books I’ve ever read and I’d recommend them to any fan of the genre (or anyone who just likes fast-paced sci-fi books). All of these books are also available for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen physical copies on sale before.
