There was very little movement on the list of most read nonfiction Amazon books

The list of most read nonfiction Amazon books saw very little movement last week. Most of the books moved between themselves, and there were no new books on the list from July 26 to Aug. 1.

Too Much and Never Enough by Mary L. Trump PH.D remained in the top spot after claiming it during the previous week. The movement started with the next two books. White Fragility had been knocked down into third place during the previous week, but overtook The Room Where It Happened by John Bolton during last week.

The rest of the Top 10 remained the same. It was 11th and 12th places that switched, with Atomic Habits by James Clear moving up a spot.

Things remained the same again until 16th place. First 100 Words gained a place on the list, which isn’t surprising. Learning books are popular for parents with children getting ready to go back to some sort of schooling (whether in the classroom or online) and parents worried about their children’s progress in learning.

This list remains a sign of the current times. There’s a mixture of books about race, books about business, and books about learning. Of course, there are the political books as we get closer to the Presidential Elections in November. We get just an insight into the world and reading habits right now.
