The list of most read nonfiction Amazon books remained relatively stable from June 14-20

When it comes to nonfiction Amazon books, the list of most read books saw a lot of movement in recent weeks. That movement has stabilized during June 14 and 20.

The book seeing the biggest movement was Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime. After losing a few places a couple of weeks ago, it was back in the Top 10 this week as it gained five spots on the list. The rest of the Top 10 list remained the same as the previous week, with White Fragility holding the top spot for the third week in a row.

More from Amazon Books

There were two new books joining the list this week. Both of these had made it to the most sold nonfiction Amazon books during the previous week, and the books will likely move up the list next week.

The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander debuted in 14th place. Meanwhile, Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me joined the list in 19th place. This latter book has been one of the most recommended books right now to understand the Black Lives Matter movement, so I suspect this will gain on the list next week.

Not all books are about race. There are still plenty of books about self-development on the list. This isn’t that surprising. As businesses still struggle to bring people back or people still work from home, being productive and focused is important.
