These are Amazon’s picks for best books this October

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 of us could stand to devote more time to reading. We make room in our busy schedules for the latest episode of "Game of Thrones," but we don't set aside enough time for books.

If you're looking for something to keep you occupied before bed or on your commute to work this October, 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 "Endurance" by Scott Kelly) along with nine other books that Amazon's book editors loved this month.

For anyone looking for a book to read on the commute to work or on your couch this fall, this list is a good place to start your search.
