It may be hard to believe, but November is here, which means Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and the holidays are fast approaching. If you're looking for something new to read as the busiest time of year approaches, fortunately, the start of November also means it's once again time to claim free Kindle e-books if you're an Amazon Prime member.
The free books you receive are yours to keep, so if you're looking to grow your Kindle library, First Reads is an easy way to do that each month. However, as I mentioned, to get the free books, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member, which costs $15 a month or $139 annually. You can check out Amazon's First Reads program and Prime below.

An Amazon Prime subscription gives users access to fast, free shipping, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and free Kindle e-books every month through First Reads.
You can choose from 10 different titles
November's bonus short read is a thriller story
For November, Amazon's First Reads program is offering 10 different Kindle e-books to choose from across various genres. A few examples of the genres available this month include espionage, romance, fantasy, thriller, and women's fiction.
Remember, you can only choose one of the books to get for free, which means if you're interested in any of the other titles in the First Reads program besides the one you pick, you'll need to pay for them. Additionally, all the books are being released on December 1, so when you pick one, you'll actually get early access, making you among the first to be able to read it.
Here is the list of books available through First Reads for November 2025:
- The Second Son: A Thriller (Genre: Espionage)
- Yours For The Season (Genre: Romance)
- The Lost Heiress (Genre: Book Club Fiction)
- Snake-Eater (Genre: Fantasy)
- The Pursued (Genre: True Crime)
- Artificial Truth (Genre: Psychological Drama)
- Only Way Out (Genre: Thriller)
- Ten Thousand Lights Years from Okay (Genre: Book Club Fiction)
- The Night Watcher (Genre: Police Procedural)
- The Wondrous Life and Loves of Nella Carter (Genre: Women's Fiction)
Along with being able to pick one of the titles above for free, you also claim a free bonus short read from the First Reads program, and this month's title is The Kill Clause: A Short Story, a thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger.
All of November's First Reads titles will be available until November 30. On December 1, the collection will refresh, allowing Prime members to claim more free books again. If you're not a Prime member, you can still browse the First Reads books and select one, but it will cost you $2 instead of being free.
