These are Amazon’s picks for best books this March

The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.

Most people could stand to devote more time to reading. We all make room in our busy schedules for the latest seasons of our favorite TV shows, but we reserve too little time for books.

If you're looking for something to keep you occupied before bed or on your commute to work this February, we suggest checking out Amazon's Best Books of the Month, a section of the site wholly dedicated to new releases in literature and fiction, nonfiction, history, and more.

You'll find a spotlight pick (this month's is Mohsin Hamid's "Exit West") along with nine other books that Amazon's book editors loved for this month.

One of these recommendations might just inspire your next hardcover or Kindle purchase.

"Exit West" by Mohsin Hamid

Timely and original, Mohsin Hamid’s novel "Exit West" is the story of two young lovers who end up refugees when their home country descends into chaos. Instead of fleeing on foot, or by boat or plane, Nadia and Saheed hear about a mysterious door, a portal to a faraway place…(that is not Narnia, but has its own perils).
