You can’t go wrong gifting any of Amazon’s best-selling books of 2016 this holiday season

Amazon’s editorial team shared its favorite books of 2016 last month and now the online retail giant has revealed the best selling titles (print and Kindle) during that time. If you’re on the fence about what to buy the bookworm on your holiday shopping list, today’s announcement is a great place to start.

It should come as no surprise that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child took the crown as the number 1 best-selling book of the year. Even more impressive, it’s also the Most Wished For and Most Gifted Book on Amazon. The remainder of the list is pretty diverse, ranging across several different book genres.

Remember, you can gift Kindle e-Books if you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas present. And you can still save $5 on your next print book order.
