If you can believe it, we're nearly halfway through 2025, meaning we're halfway through all the new releases the year has brought thus far. Because we're collectors, we've already started to round up the best of lists for 2025, covering memes, books, and Netflix movies.
Amazon has jumped on board rounding up the best of the year. Its editors have released its ranking of the 20 best books of 2025. It includes exposés on giant corporartions like Johnson & Johnson and Meta, plus the return of best-selling authors S.A. Cosby, Suzanne Collins, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. As we were browsing through the list, we happened to noticed that every book on the list (besides one) is on sale. You can score up to 53% off the best books of the year, just in time for your summer reading plans.
Plus, Amazon is offering an extra good deal. Right now, you can buy two and get one 50% off at Amazon on applicable media — including books. Many of the books on this list are included in the deal, giving you even more savings. We've rounded-up the deals on these books exclusively for physical copies. You can find each of these books in e-book format, too. Kindle book prices are naturally lower than physical book prices, however, we haven't noticed any Kindle specific deals on these titles.
Here are the best books of 2025, according to Amazon, and the deals you can get on them now.
