The Amazon Books’ Editorial team reads more than a thousand books annually to inform our Best Books of the Month and Year lists. Each month we pick incredible reads that delight, inform, and intrigue, across popular categories like fiction, nonfiction, mystery, history, sci-fi, romance, children’s, and more.
We champion books we love, and that we think will resonate with every type of reader. At the end of the year, we look back at our monthly picks, and also consider other titles, before casting our ballots—ultimately agreeing on our Best Books of the Year.
You may recognize some of your favorite authors and best-selling books, and we’ll also help you discover some hidden gems and debuts. No matter what you like to read, you’ll find something to add to your TBR list—and plenty to give as holiday gifts.
