Monthly Sales: How to Efficiently Find Interests?

The current monthly sale ("Best of 2025") seems to comprise 2094 items ⇒ 3 dozen pages at 60 items per page. Wow!
(I found that by requesting page "99" of the monthly sale; scroll down to see "Showing 2,041-2,094").

How can one efficiently find needles of interest in such a haystack each month?

It seems even more challenging, considering that the use of "automated technologies to browse, search or download images or other material" would violate Logos' Acceptable Use Policy.

I started by bookmarking searches for prolific authors of interest
I later realized some of my authors of interest have smaller publishers in common
(That doesn't help for larger publishers, e.g. Eerdmans & Zondervan each have over 100 items in the current sale, and Crossway has nearly that many).
I've started expanding my wishlists, but those often show items with a greater discount than they actually have
(I think the bug in those cases may be that the % discount for those is based on the List Price rather than Logos' Regular Price)
So, how can I efficiently find numerous interests that don't fit those patterns?

Thanks, in advance, for sharing ideas! : )

Here's how I do it:

check ownership "unowned". that eliminates everything you already own.
select sort "by Savings" this places them in order by percentage off.

Now you only have one or two pages at the most with more than 30% off. The rest of the list is not really on sale.

I gave up. Preferably, I do Topic. But it allows only one at a time which means:

Click filter panel
Delete previous topic filter
Click Topic
Scan down (all mixed up) eg Hebrew
Re-scan for alternate topic eg Language
Select
Close filter panel

Repeat for next topic. And no, not going to clutter my browser with Favorites.

Then, there's the top filter (eg author:smith) clearing any regular filters (have to remember order). Do top first.

Oh, perhaps this is a better-than-average sale then, as we have nearly 2 dozen pages with ≥30% off.
The last page with discounts plummeting to 2% off ($3 off $149) at the end is funny though : )

I cleared 30% on the first page. That was quick. Of course I'd miss favorite topics.

Once you buy all those then the list will be easier to deal with 😂

Did you filter by "Monthly Sale" first?

I wish they'd have another option - in addition to Owned/Unowned have a "Wishlisted" option. I have a very large wish list. A lot of it I may never own and that's ok. But I do add books I see that look interesting. Currently the only way I know to see is to browse by cover and look for the blue hearts. That can be time consuming.

Yup: see the link/first paragraph in my original post.

But I did it in a Chrome Incognito window, so the results are generic (unaffected by my account).
