Nonfiction on a single, weirdly specific topic

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

Do you listen to True Crime Poscasts on a Friday night with your cat? Think you could solve the Unsolved?

Books featuring True Crimes of the Past and Present.

Nonfiction or “inspired by” allowed, but no straight up fiction. Suggestions welcome!

I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!

True crime books that explain why you should choose the bear

We know Count von Count from Sesame Street loves numbers, so here are some books with numbers in the titles to show our appreciation for him!

These are my God Tier, Six Stars, Absolute Favourites, Certified Bangers

When you hate joking but absolutely desire detail. Where every witness/ victim’s living family is long gone/ approved of the story attention themselves. When you’ve run out of cases in the 1900s. Humans don’t change the world does.

Starting with CBC's list of Canadian authors to read this fall, adding some other non-fiction books I have enjoyed/look good.

A collection of true crime books that tackle infamous cases, strange people, and those who are caught up in the mix.

a list of books on famous British true crime cases (and other lesser known cases!), a mix of autobiographies/memoirs and biographies.

biographies about more than one person.

This is one of a few lists I'm making to help me organize my ideas for HRCYED 3.0. Feel free to take inspiration or comment with more ideas.

Books that: take well-trodden narratives about a woman/women and flip it on its head; centre the woman's perspective in stories usually told from the male point of view; explore the historical marginalisation of women and cast a feminist lens over the issue; or uplift the forgotten stories of women and girls.

For when music just won't cut it and you need a new weird hyperfixation.

Every daggone book out there is "special" these days 🙄 but I need these, publishing houses! NEED!

(note - for series I've only included the first book)
