Your YA Ebook Deals This Weekend

Hey YA Readers!

Snuggle into your coziest and warmest blanket and slippers. There are a boatload of great YA ebook deals this weekend to help keep you warm.

As always, deals are active as of Friday, February 19. If you see something that catches your attention, act quick, as the deals sometimes disappear fast.

Start off with the first in Adam Silvera’s on-going fantasy series, Infinity Son, for $3.

If you love fairy tales, you’ll want to pick up Elizabeth Lim’s So This Is Love, based on Cinderella, for $1.

Need an adventure? Seafire by Natalie C. Parker, first in a just-completed trilogy, is $2. Bonus: the second book is also on sale for $2, so pick up Steel Tide, too.

Junauda Petrus’s absolutely stunning The Stars and the Blackness Between Them, celebrating Black queer love and so much more, is $3.

Readers looking for a great fantasy epic will do well with Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor. $3.

The award-winning verse novel Every Body Looking by Candice Iloh is $3.

I’ve had Claire Kann’s Let’s Talk About Love on my ereader for far too long. This read starring an asexual lead is on sale for $3.

Kristina Forest’s fabulous rom com Now That I’ve Found You is on sale for $3.

Want even more rom com fun? I Believe In a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo is $3.

Rent A Boyfriend by Gloria Chao, which features the fake dating trope, is currently $2 — I really enjoyed this one.

Readers looking for fast paced fantasy adventure will do so well with Scott Reintgen’s Ashlords, first in a series. Grab it for $2.

On the non-fiction front, Winifred Conkling’s Votes for Women, about the struggle for women’s suffrage in the US — which does a good job of highlighting how this lacked intersectionality — is on sale for $2.

The Young Reader’s Edition of When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors is $3.

George M. Johnson’s powerful YA memoir All Boys Aren’t Blue is $3.
