Recs if you like Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail...
Nonfiction that's actually fun to read
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.
hopecore nonfiction for when you are grieving 🫂
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 😊
A Journey Through the Self
A compilation of books (mostly fiction) in which the main character/s set out on a journey, leading to moments of meditation, introspection, meandering walks through the memory, conflicts with both the self, the path, and others, and ultimately: change, for both the characters and the reader. In these novels, the journey is more important than the destination.
