Snag two free Kindle e-books this month through Amazon's First Reads program
You can see this month's collection of First Reads titles in the screenshot above, ten titles in total that range from a plethora of genres, and you can choose two for free if you are a Prime member. Even if you don't subscribe to Prime, you can still get in on the fun with a deep discount, as each title right now sells for $1.99 for non-members.
For me, I'm going with Gregg Olsen's true crime novel Out of the Woods: A Girl, a Killer, and a Lifelong Struggle to Find the Way Home for my first pick, and my second is Johan Rundberg's Biggest Fake in the Universe, simply because of the skateboard on the cover, which may be a book for middle graders, but nobody ever said I was mature, which is the beauty of having so many choices.
So, if you are a Prime member and an active Kindle reader, don't forget to pick up your two free Kindle e-books this month, and if you're not a Prime member but are looking to dip your toe into a First Reads title or two, each book is discounted down to $1.99, which is certainly a good deal for these editor's top picks. So what are you waiting for? It's time to get reading before more e-books are released next month.

When 'The Map That Leads To You' Movie Will Be Available to Stream and How to Watch
If you aren't one of the lucky people living it up and having a big European summer escapade, then you can certainly live vicariously through Amazon Prime Video's new movie. Featuring absolutely gorgeous shots in absolutely gorgeous locations, starring the absolutely gorgeous KJ Apa and Madelyn Cline—The Map That Leads To You is one of the dreamiest travel-romance films of 2025. Based on Joseph Monninger's novel of the same title, it follows a young woman named Heather (Cline) on a Eurotrip with friends after college before settling into the life she planned out for herself. But meeting Jack (Apa) was certainly not on her itinerary, and throws off her well-thought-out roadmap for life. One of the best things about the movie is that shows you some of the most stunning places in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and more. There's no need to pack, draw up itineraries, or dip into your savings to book flights and hotels. You can practically do it all (well... sorta) from the comfort of your own couch. Here's everything you need to know about watching The Map That Leads To You. The movie is an Prime Video original, and will be premiering exclusively online on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. As much as we all wish we could see Heather and Jack's big European romance play out on the big screen, there are unfortunately no screenings scheduled in theaters for this one. You might have to bust out someone's home projector and surround-sound speakers if you want the larger-than-life cinematic experience. You might not need a plane ticket, but you do need an Amazon Prime Video subscription to watch this movie. Though there aren't any additional fees to rent or buy—phew. Still, it can be a bit of a pain if you aren't already a subscriber. The movie is an Prime Video original film, so it's not likely to stream on any other platforms. But if you have a friend who does have a Prime account, it could be fun to grab some wine and popcorn, make an event of it, and watch together!

‘Drive My Car' Star Nishijima Hidetoshi Leads Prime Video Japanese Mystery ‘Human Specimens'
'Human Specimens,' Amazon MGM Studios' latest Japanese original for Prime Video brings together acclaimed actor Nishijima Hidetoshi with 20-year-old Kabuki theater prodigy Ichikawa Somegorô in a psychological thriller that delves into the darkest corners of human obsession. Based on a novel by Minato Kanae – whose previous work 'Confessions' earned international recognition and an Academy Award submission for Japan – the five-part series follows a butterfly researcher who confesses to turning six young boys, including his own son, into 'human specimens.' More from Variety Daniel Dae Kim's 'Butterfly' Is All Action With Little Heart: TV Review How to Watch Outside Lands 2025 Live Online 'Squid Game' Star Lee Jung-jae and 'The Glory's' Lim Ji-yeon to Lead Prime Video Korean Rom-Com 'Nice to Not Meet You' Nishijima, whose international profile soared following his lead role in the Oscar-winning 'Drive My Car' (2021), takes on the role of Professor Sakaki. Making his first foray into contemporary television drama, Ichikawa has already established himself as a rising talent in traditional Kabuki theater, an art form recognized by UNESCO. Veteran director Hiroki Ryûichi, known for 'April Bride' (2009) and 'The Waxing and Waning of the Moon' (2022), helms the series. This marks his second collaboration with Minato following their critically acclaimed 'Motherhood' (2022). The story unfolds through multiple perspectives, revealing layers of truth behind Professor Sakaki's disturbing actions while examining complex father-son dynamics and humanity's obsession with preserving beauty. 'We are excited to present to our Prime customers worldwide a new series that will leave a lasting impression,' said Thomas Dubois, head of French and Japanese originals at Prime Video. 'This dark and compelling drama series earnestly confronts the eternal questions that Minato Kanae explores with her sharp pen – the purpose of life and the nature of love.' Nishijima added: 'The original novel by Minato Kanae is layered with powerful themes – the infinite depths of parent-child love and conflict, the complexity of human nature, the fine line between art and madness, and the desperate pursuit of beauty. I was captivated by how the story kept surprising me with unexpected turns right up to the end.' Ichikawa said: 'Sometimes, humans find a strange beauty in their endless desires and inner darkness. Perhaps this is because these very desires are what make us human. Minato Kanae portrays this human essence through descriptions that are sometimes hard to face yet utterly gripping – impossible to stop once you start reading.' Minato added: 'As a mystery writer and parent, I challenged myself to tackle 'filicide' – perhaps the most difficult theme for me to imagine,' she said. 'It was particularly challenging to express colors and specimen designs through words alone. That's precisely why I strongly hoped for a visual adaptation, and my wish has been granted in the most wonderful way possible.' Hiroki said: 'This series explores humanity's obsession with beauty through the lens of a complex father-son relationship. The series aims to carefully yet boldly portray a world where love and madness intersect, expressed through butterflies and art.' 'Human Specimens' will be available worldwide exclusively on Prime Video beginning Dec. 18, with all five episodes releasing simultaneously.
