The list of most read nonfiction Amazon books saw little movement last week

It’s time to check up on the list of most read nonfiction Amazon books. Between July 5 and 11, there was very little movement on the list.

What did move tended to be books between themselves. There was nothing new joining the list this week.

More from Amazon Books

The top six remained the same as the previous week, with The Room Where It Happened remaining in the top spot. This isn’t all too surprising with recent news about President Trump and the upcoming election.

There was just one new book in the Top 10 overall. Sapiens moved back up the list, gaining two places to get into 10th place. Other movement within the Top 10 was Educated and Can’t Hurt Me switching places.

There was more movement further down the list. With Sapiens moving up, Me and White Supremacy moved down two places, being knocked out of the Top 10.

Meanwhile, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and 12 Rules of Life gained two and three places respectively. 12 Rules of Life was the biggest mover up during the week. It meant that Big Board First 100 Words lost three places after arriving during the previous week, making it the biggest drop of the week.

The movement and lack of new books isn’t all that surprising. While there can be a lot of new additions on the most sold list, people tend to stick to comforts through Audible and Kindle Unlimited. Or they want to stay on top of current events or improve their lives with books that have been highly recommended. That seems to be happening here.
