“Sure, you can load up your Black Friday cart with big ticket items like laptops and TVs, but the small stuff is just as fun. For us bookworms always looking to expand our library, there’s nothing like a new book. Especially when you’re not paying full price. If you’re a dedicated e-reader user, the good news is a plethora of Kindle books are all on sale ahead of Black Friday. You can stuff your Kindle to the brim with new books for cheap.

However, if you’re dedicated to the physical page, there’s even better news. You can find big early Black Friday deals on physical books. Whether you’re buying for yourself or others, we’ve rounded up all the best deals on books.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Why we like it

It’s safe to say that the Wicked craze is in full swing. Whether you’re holding space for all the memes the press tour is delivering or already ready for your second in-theater watch, have you considered reading the source material? And we’re not talking about The Wizard of Oz.

The musical is based on Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the novel by Gregory Maguire, and if you, or the biggest Wicked fan in your life, are eager to dive deeper into the world, now is a great time to pick up a copy. Ahead of Black Friday, Walmart is offering 50% off the novel, bringing it down to $10.

Wicked not your thing? Don’t sweat because the Black Friday book deals are endless. Explore more deals on fiction, non-fiction, YA, and cookbooks below.
