Two new books joined the list of most read nonfiction Amazon books last week

With a few new books released over the last couple of weeks, it shouldn’t be too surprising that some of them have made it to the list of most read nonfiction Amazon books of the week. However, only two new books joined the list.

Both of the books entered low down. Caste by Isabel Wilkerson entered in 16th place with Live Free or Die by Sean Hannity joining in 19th place. This doesn’t mean they’ll be knocked off this week.

More from Amazon Books

Most of the list this week did remain the same, with a few books moving up and down here and there. The biggest movers only gained or lost two places, with Becoming by Michelle Obama moving back up into the Top 3 and The Room Where It Happened by John Bolton getting knocked into fifth place.

It continues to show the focus for nonfiction books right now. The focus remains on books about race, bettering ourselves, and helping to teach our children. There are books about the LGBTQ+ community and Alexander Hamilton still on the list too.

Of course, politics remains a popular topic. It shouldn’t be too surprising that the Donald Trump book from his niece remains in the top spot. Surprisingly, the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle book didn’t make it to the list last week, suggesting that they’re not the members of the British Royal Family people are interested in.
