Next week is Amazon Prime Day. If you are an Amazon Prime Member the website has extra deals you can take advantage of which many savvy shoppers find to be comparable to Black Friday Savings and a little less well known. There are still opportunities to take advantage and get yours hands on. Many of these are running early, so if anything on our list captures your interest we suggest diving head first!
If you are a regular listener to Geek History Lesson you know we have Recommended Reading as regular part of each episode which include suggestions you can easily pick up on Amazon. If you’ve been holding back picking up some of our recommendations next week is the time to dive in head first!
Amazon Prime Day is from Tuesday, July 12th - Wednesday, July 13th (or as long as supplies last), this year, so you have time to do some planning.
There are even EARLY DEALS live RIGHT NOW if you just can’t wait! Want to get our suggestions for what you should pick up early? Here are 5 Quick Picks:
If you plan to take advantage of any of these deals get ye a Prime Membership which brings with it the Amazon Prime streaming series where you can watch geeky shows like: The Boys, Outer Range, Invincible and more!
2. Lightyear Tickets and Merch
Haven’t seen Chris Evans’ latest outing as a Disney superhero? Post Captain America he’s taken up the mantle of Buzz Lightyear! If you pick up anything Lightyear related before Tuesday you’ll receive $10 in credit to spend on Prime Day!
3. She-Hulk by: Peter David Omnibus
It’s 50% off, Super Friends! She-Hulk hits Disney+ on August 17th of this year and this omnibus is an outstanding primer to read in the next month. Read Our She-Hulk Trailer Breakdown then read the omnibus for more context!
4. Noise Canceling Headphones

We use noise canceling headphones every time we record Geek History Lesson or edit the episodes. These are also perfect for trying to keep the world out (work calls or while enjoying a guided meditation), or keep yourself in (watching movies on a plane).
5. Marvel & Star Wars Clothes
Available for all ages and all shapes Amazon has a slough of Early Prime Day Deals offering 15% off all styles.
If none of those strike your fancy we have 5 more Geeky Recommendations for the Prime Day Deals working at their full power starting on Tuesday:
This is kind of a bundle deal. When you sign up for your Amazon Prime membership (at 50% off listed above), you get Audible Premium all rolled up for free for three months when you sign up. If you’re behind on some of our Prose Recommendations (check out our Geeky Summer Readers blog for multiple recommendations!), Audible provides a podcast-esque alternative.
2. Kindle Kids
Like the Audible Premium Plus, Kindle Kids lowers from $60 to $49.99 for previous Prime Members. Encourage your kids to read - or read with them! - and pick up some all-ages book we love on Geek History Lesson like: Turning Red, The Hobbit, DC Super Hero Girls series, Star Wars: Padawan).
3. Apple AirPods Pro
If the noise canceling headphones above aren’t your thing or you’re looking for something a little more subtle snap up these Apple AirPods on Prime Day at an almost $50 savings.
4. Amazon Fire TV
Particularly if you have an Amazon Prime membership the Fire TV at $260 off is one of the best deals you can currently find on a 4k Smart TV. This deal is available for Prime Members only and will probably encourage you to expand your blu-ray collection. May we suggest: Doctor Strange, Jurassic Park, Superman and Lois, Wonder Woman, and all of Star Wars?).

5. Nintendo Switch Digital Games

We are eyeing: Assassin’s Creed The Ezio Collection, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Castlevania Advance Collection, Monsters Hunter, and Professor Ashley’s perennial favourite, Tetris.
