The final month of 2023 is here and Amazon has released its list of the best books of December 2023. Keep reading to find out which ten books made their list!
Books that release during the last quarter of the year can be overlooked. Many publications release their end of year lists early. But that doesn’t mean that we should overlook these books. There is a good reason why most awards are given the next year.
The books selected by Amazon for December are all standout novels. And one of them is the recipient of an award. Prophet Song by Irish author Paul Lunch won the 2023 Booker Prize. It is a novel that didn’t get much attention from publications until after it won the award.

That just goes to show you that even amazing books can go under the radar. The other books to be selected include titles such as Welcome Home, Stranger by Kate Christensen and a memoir by Kenan Thompson. You can see the full list below!
