The usual back-to-school season that September brings has been in flux this year, to say the least. Anxieties are running high as some students pick up supplies to head back to in-person classes while others scramble to put together at-home setups for virtual learning. With uncertainty around future plans looming large, now more than ever is an excellent time to curl up and unwind for a few hours with a compelling new read.
Whether looking to tap back into your drive for education or seeking an escape from this eerie time, Amazon's book editors have curated a list of 12 reads fit for your September list. As was the case in August, the editors were so impressed with the books out this month that they expanded their list from the standard 10 choices.
The list features a wide range of captivating reads, such as psychologist and author Catherine Gildiner's "Good Morning, Monster," which details triumphant stories of her patients' emotional recovery. Meanwhile, Louise Penny's "Chief Inspector Gamache" series makes its triumphant return with "All the Devils Are Here," with the protagonist looking to solve the attempted murder of his godfather. In the mix are also powerful memoirs, medieval epics, and more.
Here are the top 12 books of September 2020, according to Amazon's editors:
