Barnes & Noble’s Book Haul sale is back, bringing with it huge discounts on hundreds of books. Running through Sept. 2, the sale features 50% off tons of titles, including some of our favorite sci-fi and fantasy books of the past few years. So if your TBR list is already long, it’s about to become a whole lot longer.
I know not everyone loves looking through page after page of sale listings as much as I do, so I combed through all discounted books and picked out the seven I think are most worth checking out. The best part? Almost all of these books are standalone stories, meaning there’s no previously required reading before jumping in.
The Ferryman, Justin Cronin
The Familiar, Leigh Bardugo
The Book of Love, Kelly Link
Her Radiant Curse, Elizabeth Lim
Prophet, Sin Blanché and Helen Macdonald
He Who Drowned the World, Shelley Parker-Chan
D&D Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk
