YA Ebook Deals To Snag ASAP

Hey YA Pals!

Time to snap up some of the best YA ebook deals and load up your reading life. As we continue into month two hundred of quarantine — at least where I am — this is your opportunity to build your “going to spend the nice seasons in my hammock reading” personal digital library.

All deals are current as of Friday, May 1.

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. SanchezI loved I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez. It’s a total steal at $2.

Did you put off reading the new Marcus Zusak book because it’s a wrist breaker (aka: big and heavy)? Grab Bridge of Clay as an ebook instead for $3.

Another wrist breaker you can grab is the first in a series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. Aurora Rising is $2. If you want more from the writing duo, Illuminae, first in their previous series, is also on sale for $2.

Elizabeth Lim’s Spin The Dawn, first in a series that has comps to Project Runway and Mulan, is $3.

Jean Kwok writes my favorite crossover books. Girl In Translation might be marketed for adults, but it’s perfect for YA readers, too. $2.

Want an excellent, classic YA comic? Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese is $3.

Catfishing on Catnet by Naomi Kritzer, which just won an Edgar Award, is on sale for $3.

Two first books in fantasy series are on sale for $2 and $3 respectively: Beholder by Anna Bright and Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith.

Want a mystery? April Henry’s The Girl I Used To Be is $3.

A “hilarious wilderness comedy?” Sign me up for this one! Jeff Strand’s I Have A Bad Feeling About This is $2.

Maurene Goo is a YA gem. Grab The Way You Make Me Feel for $3.

A Death-Struck Year by Makiia Lucier is on sale for $3.

Itching for good sports writing? Carl Deuker’s Gym Candy is currently $3.

I haven’t read this one, but everyone I know loves this weird little book. Hannah Moskowitz’s A History of Glitter and Blood is $3.

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness is a whole $1.

Julie Buxbaum’s Tell Me Three Things is $2.

Want something dark, fantastical, and gothic? Emily A. Duncan’s Wicked Saints – first in a series! – is on sale for $3.

This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith is a nice romance for this season and it’s only $2.

Feed by MT Anderson, a YA classic of science fiction that feels way too realistic, is $1.

The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert is $3. This deal expires on Sunday, so grab it sooner, rather than later.

First in series, The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi, is $3 through Sunday.

Susan Dennard’s Truthwitch, first in the Witchlands series, is $3 through Sunday.

*All* three books in Jessica Spotswood’s Cahill Witch trilogy are on sale. Want a witchy read about sisters? Grab Born Wicked for $2, Star Cursed for $4, and Sisters’ Fate for $3. That would be $10 for the whole shebang!


Thanks for hanging out, and we’ll see you on Monday. I hope you find your next great read this weekend.
