Techstination…your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   Well…they may sell everything under the sun these days…but Amazon…in the beginning…was an online bookseller.    Back to its roots.. it is out with its picks for the best books of the year so far.   On top is Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead..  Amazon Books Editor Erin Kodicek.

“We’re in the throws of summer reading season.  So for readers who want an escape..something immersive that will transport you to different places..this novel delivers on all of those fronts.”

Walter Isaacson’s The Code Breaker..is a top non-fiction pick.  About the process of putting the list together..Kodicek says..

“I like to say that we make these decisions the old fashioned way… we argue.”
