Most read Amazon books last week: Stephen King unsurprisingly enters the list

With the release of Stephen King’s new novel Billy Summers now out, there’s no surprise that it’s made it to the list of most read Amazon books.

Whenever King releases a new novel, it makes its way to the list of most sold and most read Amazon books. The previous week, we saw Billy Summers make it to the most sold list. It was only a matter of time before it made it to the most read list.

That happened last week. The book entered in ninth place and was the only new book on the list for the week. It did mean one of the Harry Potter books got knocked out of the Top 10.

Will the book move up the list this week? There’s a chance that it could happen, and that’s something we’ll keep an eye on.

Project Hail Mary and Black Ice down

There was some movement elsewhere on the list of most read Amazon books. One of the most notable drops is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. The novel dropped another spot, dropping into third place.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling moved up a spot. There’s a chance we’ll see a Harry Potter Top 3 this week.

The biggest drop of the week was Black Ice by Brad Thor. It lost four places, dropping into 20th place. While it could hold onto the spot next week, there’s a chance a new entry will knock it out.
