Picture it now: you’re sunbathing on the lush grass of Costa del Clapham.
One sweaty, suncream-covered hand clutches the latest Booker prize nominee, staining it with oily fingerprints, while the other reaches for a frosted glass of rosé with a hefty serving of ice. Sunglasses are firmly on your head, your parasol is providing the perfect amount of shade, and there’s a light breeze wafting through warm air. Life is good.
Whether you’re a Kindle user or lover of physical books, the price of literature across the board is being slashed this Amazon Prime Day, just in time to bulk up your high summer reading list. Whether you’re in the mood for a sultry, piping hot Romantasy series or a historical novel to sink your teeth into, there’s something for everyone.
I’m something of a bookworm myself, so I’ve cut through the noise to help you get the best possible deals on the most popular books to hit virtual shelves in recent years.
