[Python] OSError: [Errno 22] when I try to .read() a json file

I am simply trying to read my json file in Python. I am in the correct folder when I do so; I am in Downloads, and my file is called 'Books_5.json'. However, when I try to use the .read() function, I get the error

OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument


This is my code:

import json
config = json.loads(open('Books_5.json').read())


This also raises the same error:

books = open('Books_5.json').read()


If it helps, this is a small snippet of what my data looks like:
