Amazon Reveals Best-Selling Books Of 2012

We love to write and read. So, if you’re looking for a bunch of good books to read this holiday season, Amazon has prepared a nifty list of best-selling books for you to read. Today, Amazon is announcing the top 10 best-selling books of 2012 overall (print and Kindle combined), as well as the top 10 Kids & Teens books. This year is different. If Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs was the best-selling book last year, this year seems to be “the year of the billionaire bad boy in romance.”

Sara Nelson, the Editorial Director of Books and Kindle at Amazon says, “While E. L. James published the first two books in her Fifty Shades trilogy in 2011, so they aren’t eligible for our 2012 list, the series really took off this year and propelled the third installment and the omnibus edition onto our top 10 list. It’s also interesting to note that four of the five contemporary romance titles in the top 10 list, including the Fifty Shades trilogy, were originally independently published and went on to become huge best sellers.” Check out the list after the break.

1. “Fifty Shades Freed: Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy” by E. L. James
