Nonfiction books I LOVED are The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer - HIGHLY recommend if the subjects interest you. The Other Wes Moore, was also quite good.

I've been wanting to read Bog Bodies ever since you mentioned it in a previous video, but I'm having a hard time finding it :( I feel like I've been more interested in nonfiction lately. Thanks for all these recommendations!

ohhh weird, niche non-fiction? say no more, you gotta read The Feather Thief if you haven't already!! it's about a flutist who one day breaks into a museum to steal feathers and it looks at many different aspects and uses of those. it has a lot of historical background, talks about environmental issues and biodiversity and the crime aspect of it is also super interesting and absurd👀

I mainly read memoirs when it comes to non fiction but one of my favorites is naya riveras memoir, I also like essay collections about peoples lives and some of my favorites are stay sexy and don't get murdered and calypso! This video was a good reminder for me to try and read more non memoir non fiction books tho so thanks for that haha :D

A lot of the nonfiction books I read are memoirs or true crime, but I am also drawn to non fiction about women and/or nature. Have you read Radium Girls? It's a popular one but it's brilliant. I also really loved Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller. One of my favourites is The Invention of Nature by Andrea Wulf.

Yesss, nothing like some niche non-fiction reads to distract me from quarantine! Curious to know what you'll think of We Are the Weather after you get around to reading it. I own a copy but didn't get around to reading it before I left the UK and got a pretty mixed review of it from my brother. I'll have to finally pick it up and see for myself though!

I love hearing about non-fiction books. Now I want to read Personalities on The Plate, too, that sounds really good. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years.

when it comes to non-fiction I only tend to read memoirs as they feel like fiction to me but I'm learning about other people's lives regarding different sexualities or races that I don't personally experience. My favs include All Boys Aren't Blue by George M Johnson and Unicorn by Amrou Al Kadhi :) I do want to consume more though and at the beginning of the year I was good at doing 1 non-fiction a month but I've lost track recently :P

If you like nonfiction about alcohol - I recently read Quit Like a Woman by Holly Whitaker and would highly recommend

Non fiction is all I want to read at the moment this video is ideal

Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman was the book that made me go Vegetarian for 5 years
