Most read Amazon books last week: Top 5 same, one new book

The top five most read Amazon books remain the same on the list from Oct. 20 to 26. There is one new book and some changes to the bottom of the list.

Each week, Amazon tracks the most read books through Kindle Unlimited and Audible. This week saw little movement in the top half of the list, but plenty of movement in the second half of the list. Here are the top read Amazon books from Oct. 20 to 26.

As mentioned, the top five spots remained the same. There was absolutely no movement, with Stephen King keeping the top spot and more reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix than any other Harry Potter novel.

There was one new book that made it onto the list, taking up the sixth spot. John Grisham’s new book, The Guardians, took over the spot, making a few other books move spaces. However, the Harry Potter books remained the same in the Top 10, with Bloody Genius being the one to drop four places, the biggest drop of the week.

Not many moved up the list, except The Dutch House and The Water Dancer. However, there is some bad news for The Silent Patient. After 35 weeks on the list, it is now in the bottom place after two weeks. The book could see itself drop off the list next week.
