GET A FREE E-BOOK: Prime members can cash in on one free e-book in November from the selection of Amazon First Reads titles. Non-Prime members can grab one title for just $1.99.


Non-Prime members can purchase each for $1.99

We're now well into soup season, which also means it's time to cozy up with some good books. If you're in a money-saving mood to prep for Black Friday sales, Amazon is offering Prime members some free reads during the month of November.

The Amazon First Reads program gifts Prime members one free e-book title this month and tosses in an additional free short story. If you're not a Prime member, you can score one Amazon First Reads title and the short story for just $1.99 each.

This month's selection of First Reads covers tons of genres, so all readers are likely to find something that's appealing. Historical fiction title White Mulberry by Rosa Kwon Easton is included in the deal, as is the suspenseful tale Mirror Me by Lisa Williamson Rosenberg. There's also women's fiction, a phycological thriller, true crime, and a contemporary fiction title included in this month's First Reads picks.

November's bonus short read is also free for Prime members, which means you can laugh along with The Answer is No by Fredrik Backman.

Joining the Amazon First Reads program is free, and signing up means you'll get a monthly email with details about the latest First Reads picks. To read these Kindle titles, you'll want either an e-reader or the Kindle app downloaded on a tablet or your smartphone. We're partial to the Kindle Paperwhite, but you certainly don't need a Kindle to dive into these titles.

In a time when everything seems to be getting more expensive, a free deal is something worth celebrating. Prime members get a free e-book and short story this month from the Amazon First Reads program, while non-members can purchase each for just $1.99. Kick off cozy reading season ASAP.
