This post speaks to my nonfiction loving soul. You know how much I loved Speak and I think it’s time for a re-listen of Survival Lessons. I remember you recommending that to me and I devoured it while at the dog park with Augie.
You've got a great list here, Renee! I've heard nothing but wonderful things about The Sun Does Shine and I've now added it on Libby, so thank you for that. Based on what you shared about Meditations For Mortals (which will definitely be in my nonfiction top ten this year!), you might also wish to check out The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler - it was an absolute hit for me earlier this year and I have been singing its praises ever since. Thank you for sharing your recs!
I also recommend THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS by Isabel Wilkerson. This book taught me so much about the Great Migration of African Americans from the South to other parts of the country. She follows the stories of three people and it is a great example of narrative nonfiction. It's quite long but it is so worth it.
I loved Survival Lessons. I read it in a hammock during my Costa Rica trip. Also the James Patterson was so heartwarming. It’s a nice book to pick up every once in a while when you’re in between books or just need a book hug. 🤗

Thank You! It really is an unforgettable book. And thanks for that rec, I’ve heard of it but haven’t read it- it sounds right up my alley:)

I got that rec from you!! I remember hearing you talk about it and immediately dowloaded the audio then bought the book:)
I’m glad you have a special fondness for that book.
