The 5 Best Places to Get Discounted Bestselling Books

Goodreads has more than 70 million members, and Goodreads Deals offer up to 80 percent off on bestselling books that you love. Goodreads lets you know when there's a deal for a book on your "Want to Read" list on Goodreads — it's another great reason to add books to your Want to Read list so you don't miss out on a deal for a book you're interested in. Goodreads also alerts you when there's a deal by an author you follow on Goodreads, so make sure to follow your favorite authors, too. For readers who want even more deals, you can sign up for the Goodreads deals email — just select your favorite genres to get personalized deals every day. Category options are:

Readers are able to purchase ebook deals from Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble Nook, Google Play, and Kobo.

Bookbub is without a doubt one of the largest ebook deal sites, with tailored reads delivered to your inbox daily. As an added bonus, it also offers new-release updates from authors you follow and the ability to browse recommendations from those same authors, as well as their editors and your friends. It has seven main categories:

Within those, it has more than 40 subcategories that help it deliver the best deals for your personality. Bookbub also makes it easier on its readers to choose deals based on retailer: Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble Nook, Google Play, and Kobo. You're even able to follow your favorite authors to make sure their deals and new releases are always sent to you. Bonus: there are free books in every newsletter!

BookGorilla is much in the same vein as Bookbub, though it does have some broader subjects and subcategories to choose from. With one daily email from BookGorilla, you get the best ebook deals it can find. One handy feature from BookGorilla that I didn't notice on other sites is the ability to denote the maximum number of ebook deals you would like to see in your daily email, with the choices being 12, 20, or 50. This is especially helpful if you're a sweet-and-to-the-point email reader or if you have a bit more time on your hands to browse. BookGorilla's main categories cover the following:

BookGorilla also has the advantage of having an app available to its Android readers for easy perusing on mobile devices as well.

The Fussy Librarian is an aesthetically pleasing and conscientious choice for readers to find their daily ebook deals. Not only does it have more than 30 categories to choose from to specify your interests, but it also inquires about certain, and very important, points that the other sites do not:

The one thing The Fussy Librarian is lacking is the ability to sign in and peruse the current deals on the site. However, it does have its weekly free list on its blog to look through.

Last but certainly not least is BargainBooksy. This site is a little more straightforward, thus a little less personal than the others, but it will still get the job done. Right away, BargainBooksy does allow you to see its deals without joining a newsletter first. That could be a very big plus for some readers. Its daily emails are much the same as the others listed here, and it does have a decent list of genres to pick from for your personalized newsletter each day:

There it is! The deals you can't miss and the excuse you need to read to your heart's desire!
