Here are the best-selling books everyone read in 2016
The INSIDER Summary:
• Amazon ranked its best-selling books of 2016.
• "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" tops the list, followed by the acclaimed memoir "When Breath Becomes Air."
2016 was a pretty magical year in books, and that's not just because the Wizarding world made a (questionably) trimphant return in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."
The best-selling books on Amazon this year run the gamut from touching memoirs to thrilling mystery novels to kid-friendly picks for young readers.
If the bookworm in your life doesn't already own them all, these best-sellers make great holiday gifts. That is, if they still have any space left on their shelves.
Here are the top 20 best-selling books on Amazon of 2016:
- "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Parts 1 & 2, Special Rehearsal Edition Script" by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany
