As the year draws to a close, Amazon has unveiled Kindle’s Year In Reading – a celebration of reading, bestselling books, and trends that defined 2025.
The group’s data shows Kindle customers turned billions of pages this year, reading an average of 6.5 billion pages a month.
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden claimed the title of this year’s most top fiction title in the UK, with Kindle readers crowning it the most read fiction title of the year. Meanwhile, thrilling reads The Boyfriend, also by McFadden, and Nothing To See Here by Susan Lewis also topped the bestseller charts, capturing hearts and imaginations across the UK.
Notably, the data shows readers often chose to plough through several books in the same series at once. Alongside McFadden’s series, the Chestnut Springs series and Rose Hill series, both by Elsie Silver, emerged as the ‘most-binged’ book series of the year in the UK, with readers unable to resist the pull of just one more chapter.
‘Crime, Thrillers, and Mystery’ dominated as the most popular genre, keeping hearts in the UK thumping in 2025. When it comes to who the UK was reading, while McFadden claimed the title of the most-read Kindle author of the year, Rebecca Yarros and Alice Feeney also topped the list alongside her.
August was the year’s peak reading month for the UK, while most readers did their reading in the evening.
