Some readers see the month of October as a 31-day homage to Halloween, sinking deep into twisting thrillers, while others use the foray into fall as a time to cozy up with a chunky knit blanket and reflect via an insightful memoir. Whatever your preference, Amazon's book editors have you covered with their best books of October 2020.
As has been the case with the prior lists of recent months, the editors have selected 12 titles for readers to dive into this month, as compared to the usual 10. Included in this month's choices is Fareed Zakaria's particularly timely forthcoming book "Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World." And, in a completely different but no less eerie vein, "The Invisible Life of Addie Larue" tells the tale of a woman cursed with being forgettable in exchange for avoiding an arranged marriage. Plus, there are page-turners to satisfy history buffs, those looking to cultivate more creativity, and supernatural fans.
From mysteries to memoirs, here are Amazon's top 12 books of October 2020:
