On the retail side, Amazon’s Books editors just dropped their Best Books of 2025 list, with Patrick Ryan’s novel Buckeye in the number one spot. The book follows two Midwestern families in the fictional town of Bonhomie, Ohio, whose lives become tangled after an affair, and Amazon’s team is calling it a compassionate family saga and a Great American Novel level pick.
The rest of the list is packed with buzzy names, including Taylor Jenkins Reid’sAtmosphere, Ocean Vuong’sThe Emperor of Gladness, and Laila Lalami’s near future techno suspense novel The Dream Hotel.
Readers’ Favorite Fiction went to My Friends by Fredrik Backman, a story about four teenagers, a life changing painting, and the way art and memory echo across decades.
In other categories, Rebecca Yarros’Onyx Storm took both romantasy and audiobook, V. E. Schwab’sBury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil won fantasy, and John Green’sEverything Is Tuberculosis topped nonfiction.
