Leilani is the author of one the most buzzed about books of the season,  Luster, which we named a Best Book of the Month in August.

A handful of the books we picked as our favorites this month, from immersive new fantasy to smart and timely coming-of-age novels.

Very different cold cases, a vigilante attempt to head off heroin dealing on the reservation, and a nesting doll tale set on a Mediterranean island make for a delightfully mysterious August.

Ranging from a space opera with echoes of Red Rising to a postapocalyptic tale of mercenary librarians, these new sci-fi and fantasy books will keep readers glued to the page.

Here is what some of the Amazon Books editors had to say about the fantastic fictions on offer this month.

The author of our Spotlight Pick for August talks about her book, the research, and people who roam.

We asked Stephenie Meyer a few questions about her long awaited novel, Midnight Sun, and revisited a Q&A from the year Twilight released.

This year has been a disappointment in many ways, but not where great reads are concerned. Once again we felt compelled to extend our typical list of top ten favorites to twelve, and we're delighted to share them with you.

If you're curious about a variety of subjects, this is the book list for you.

While 2020 has been a disappointment in many ways, it’s been a boon for books. And thank goodness! Because who hasn’t needed an escape, to be inspired, to learn something or be transported. Who hasn’t needed help making sense of the messiness of life? These novels will do that for you and more.  

What kind of history books do you read when you are living through historic times?

Author Silvia Moreno-Garcia talks about her new gothic thriller, eugenics, perceptions of Mexico, and how horror deserves more respect.

A fictional social media personality answers her fans' questions on her new memoir.

This month, the Amazon editors are looking forward to reading about interesting lives, interesting places, and interesting friendships.
