With the holidays upon us and the end of the year approaching fast, it’s a good time to take stock of the books you might have been meaning to read all year. Cyber Monday is an ideal time to add to your reading list, whether you listen to audiobooks or read eBooks or physical ones.

Most booksellers are offering up some sort of deal, no matter what your tastes. Here’s what you can find online.

Amazon

Amazon, of course, has a number of Cyber Monday deals this holiday season, but don’t forget that the site started out as a bookstore. The site is marking down some select books — some up to 60 percent off throughout the weekend.
