While the Amazon Book Sale wrapped up last month, the impressive deals on great reads are far from over. Each month, you can enjoy deals on Kindle books when you participate in the Amazon First Reads program.

Each month, readers have the option to pick a Kindle book from a handful of titles that are hand-selected by editors. Titles span across genres, so whether you're a thriller fanatic or a romance beach reader, there's something for everyone in the sections. If you're an Amazon Prime Member, you get your selected title for free, saving you up to $5.99. If you're not a member, you'll have the option to buy your title for just $1.99, saving you up to $4.

The monthly freebies call to mind Amazon's yearly Stuff Your Kindle Day, where readers can download thousands of titles for free. While we eagerly await the next one, the Amazon First Reads program satiates our need for free reads in the meantime.

This June, there are seven titles to choose from, plus one children's book. Titles include Farah Naz Rishi's "Sorry for the Inconvenience" which is a pick for Mindy Kaling's Mindy's Book Studio.
