Creative nonfiction to change how you view nonfic
I’ve taken a couple creative nonfiction classes for school, and they always change how I see and read nonfiction! I think it’s easy to think of nonfiction as history, memoirs, and subgenres that might feel more boring to people like me. But creative nonfiction helped me learn to love nonfiction!

If anyone has recommendations for creative nonfiction books that made you love nonfiction, let me know :) I’m always looking for new stuff!
I love They can't kill us until they kill us by Hanif Abdurraqib :)
Love the idea of this list! New tbr just dropped 👀
Ahh I’m so glad!! Hopefully I can add some more good stuff to it for you :)
such a cool list! "in the dream house" really went all out with experimenting in its form and it was so insightful.
I read “the Husband Stitch” by Machado and it really stuck with me, so I wanted to include something more long form from her! I haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my shortlist and I’m so looking forward to it!
