Whether it's learning something new or learning about what's actually going on behind the scenes of people's lives, I love a page turning nonfiction read
I love nonfiction! Some recent favorites include How Far the Light Reaches (Sabrina Imbler), Anthropocene Reviewed (John Green), Lost & Found (Kathryn Schulz) and Braiding Sweetgrass... and I have a bazillion more!
You know I adore memoirs. Finding Me by Viola Davis is a recent favorite. Really enjoyed The Life Council by Laura Tremaine (I can’t stop thinking about it). I’m currently listening to Maggie Smiths memoir about marriage and motherhood. She’s a poet so it’s beautifully told.
You just exploded my TBR - thank you! I recently read and loved People’s Hospital by Ricardo Nuila, Rough Sleepers by Tracy Kidder and The Teachers by Alexandra Robbins. Plus SO MANY MORE. I’m on a major NF kick these days!
Just finished two I enjoyed: Into the Planet by Jill Heinerth about a cave diver (this book made me feel so claustrophobic). And Doomsday Mother about a woman who had her children chilled because she thought they were zombies.
I haven’t heard of either of these thank you! The cave diver one sounds fascinating- that’s something I know absolutely nothing about.
You’ll have to tell me more about this when we talk!

Thank you for these, I’ve only heard of the John Green one- I’d love to know more of your favorites, I can never have too many nonfiction options:)
I’ll be sharing a bunch more on my substack soon! And Braiding Sweetgrass is by Robin Kimmerer and is OUTSTANDING
As usual, you put together such good lists, there is always at least one I’ve read or is added to my bulging TBR
Thank you Rose:)

Wow the Laura Tremaine really spoke to you! That’s great. I have the Maggie Smith on audio- let me know how it goes for you
It’s really sticking with me. I even had a dream about it!
This is an amazing list!! I’ve only read one and just added a bunch to my TBR!
Thanks Sara! I’m in a huge nonfiction mood- I think you would really like The Creative act
