Amazon has unveiled its Best Books of 2025 list.
For 25 years, the Amazon Editors have read and debated thousands of new releases to create the annual Best Books of the Year list.
“This year brought so many books that entertained, challenged, and moved us,” said Sarah Gelman, editorial director for Amazon Books.
