Bibliophiles know that nothing’s better than a great read. As a self-proclaimed one myself, I escape in plotlines and revere a fresh book smell. Finding the right one, however, can be a challenge.

Thankfully, Amazon recently released its Best Books of 2019 list, which names Margaret Atwood’s „The Testaments“ as number one. This year’s list hails an array of reads across genres, plus picks we’ve previously profiled.

Compared to past honorees, „The Testaments“ is a standout making literary history. According to Sarah Gelman, editorial director at Amazon Books, „It’s so exciting to witness literary history being made, and Atwood has done just that with this deeply moving book.“ Indeed, this sequel to „The Handmaid’s Tale“ is jarring, yet deeply moving and dramatic. Not surprisingly, readers were invested from start to finish.
