Let's read more non fiction books! || Reading Challenge 2023

Hey Booktube! In 2023, I want to attempt again to reading more Non Fiction books since it went so well last year. This is my TBR (physical and library) to give you a list that you might want to read too. Let's try and find some new favorites!

Which non-fiction books should we add to our TBR?

[quzsvsx]

Love this list! Nonfiction is not really talked about on booktube aside from the bro-y self help books like "poor dad rich dad", so I'm really glad to see all these interesting nonfiction books! I added a few to my TBR and I'm definitely prioritizing the ones already in my physical tbr such as Come as You Are and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us by Rachel Louise Snyder blew me away. This not only focuses on victims of domestic violence but also what it does to law enforcement officers, carers, social workers, and even the abusers themselves. It made me think, broke my heart, and also helped me shift my views. Believe me, it does in depth with the “why didn’t she just leave?” question. 10/10 recommend.

Awesome list!! Just a quick note that Lessons in Chemistry is fiction! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these books- in particular I’d really recommend Empire of Pain, What my Bones Know and Braiding Sweetgrass! One that’s not on your list that I LOVED was Being Mortal- easily one of my favorite nonfiction books ever.

Know My Name stands out among all those titles - one of the best books I read last year. A hugely important and powerful memoir.

Know My Name is such a good and important book! I listened to it as an audiobook and a few times had to sit still while listening to some sections of it. Disclaimer: I think it's the only autobiography I've read, so idk about comparisons to others.

Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my favorite books of all time and I’ve been re-reading it every spring. Would highly recommend the audiobook — RWK narrates it herself and has one of the most soothing voices you’ll ever hear ❤

[mochafishonatreetop]

Thank you for this video! I’m planning to read more non-fiction this year (inspired by you!) and your lists are super helpful 🖤

[gabirosegarcia]

Braiding Sweetgrass and The Rise and Reign of Mammals were recent faves for me!

[Shellyish]

Many new-to-me titles and they all sound so good! 😊

Come as You Are was fantastic. I learned so much - there are way more misconceptions of female sexuality than I realized (stuff I've been buying into my whole life). The author does the narration and I felt enhanced the experience. She was included on a Netflix doc called Principles of Pleasure which I'd also recommend (it seemed to have wonderful representation and I learned even more). Good stuff.

I'm also hoping to up my non-fiction this year, and my books of choice are organizing, productivity, and nature. :)

Salt is great! I am currently reading Empire of Pain. It's a slow to medium read but it's interesting and the writing is very visual. Happy reading 📚 😊

Emily oh my gosh, I have so much joy in having just found your channel. I was a subscriber to your beauty channel YEARS ago and totally never knew you had a book channel!! I smiled so big when I saw you have over 100k subscribers here, it feels like reuniting with an old friend! Funnily enough I have also been thinking of reading more non-fiction books this year; last year I read 99 books but barely any non-fiction. This year I've already read 2 memoirs and am working on a third. Time to go binge all the videos on this channel!!!

I enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry…which is a fiction. It’s a fizzy, snappy book, but don’t let the cover trick you - there are some serious topics on page (SA and death as I recall, but there could be more).

[Lorena-eypx]

soo many interesting books, just wanted to point out that because of you i have started to read nonfiction (i thought i´d never read a nonfiction lmao) and i loved it so much! it was invisible women and i can´t wait to read more, especially some of the nonfiction you read last year

[kristen]

Just finished Know My Name…omg, take your time with it but it is soooo worth it

[andrewmiadavila]

I want to say hello. I never ever "comment" but I have really enjoyed your reviews. I feel like a found a "book reader soulmate". 😀

[arya]

I am currently reading „Adult children of emotionally immature parents“ and so far so good!

[merodactyl]

Quackery was really informative and entertaining/horrifying. Hope you enjoy it!

[musicalina]

Know My Name is a must read!! One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read.
