The red flag emoji is because geese are diabolical, obviously.

These are some of my favorites and books I want to read--nonfiction that reads like fiction or is otherwise compelling. If you're intimidated by books on history, science, memoir, or other subgenres in nonfiction, start here.

Nonfiction books exploring the natural world and our “place in the family of things” (Mary Oliver, Wild Geese) through radical BIPOC, queer, feminist, anti-capitalist, disability ecological perspectives. 🪲🌾🦉🌵

Accessible non-fiction titles that are a good intro to the genre—suggestions always welcome! As an added bonus, most of the audiobooks are also great 🎧

It’s a cruel irony that taking a sick day means being at home with nothing to do, but very little brain power with which to read.

Enter this list, a collection of books from various genres that don’t require too much brain power but are still GOOD. Accessible prose, storylines that aren’t overly convoluted, and often short chapters or frequent break points. And of course, easy to pick back up after dozing off!

Suggestions welcome!

This list is made possible by all the 🫛🐝’ers who came through for me during a terrible breakup. I asked the club for joyful nonfiction recs because fiction is too emotionally fraught for what I’m going through.

I hope these books can bring you some hope, relief, or perspective. Together, we can get through this 😊

Nonfiction that makes me think of The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir.

hopeful nonfiction!

books that were better on audio

basically every memoir is also going to be better on audio, especially if the author narrates it, but I have a separate list for those

If you're a podcast addict like myself, you know that a lot of hosts also write books! Recs are welcome and appreciated 🩷

Audiobooks where the author narrates themselves (or is apart of a cast, not just some preface type stuff) Open for suggestions

when you want to learn something but don’t have the attention span for dry, dull text

Let's learn a little bit about a lot. Nonfiction in the niche, unique, or not-commonly-discussed topics.

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get your horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!
