I'd also like to make two suggestions if that's alright! I love this list.

  1. The Hot Zone by Richard Preston (about the ebola crisis; Preston also writes fiction [which creates a unique style], so this is a super interesting and gripping story)
  2. The Secret World of Twilight by Sally Coulthard (publishing at the end of July; very easy-to-read book all about the twilight hours [from bats to flowers to Stonehenge]---it feels like a bedtime story)

I’m not a non-fiction hater, but does anyone else genuinely enjoy hate reading. for me it’s like the next best thing for crash outs/having a regina george world burn moment beside those destroy rooms 💀😭

HAHAHAA I get it. I do find enjoyment in pushing myself out of my confort zone too, even if it's confusing or irritating 🌚

If I may recommend A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann Ní Ghríofa 👀 her prose is so beautiful and it reads as if it could be a fictional novel

Thank you!! I will add that one 🫡💓

I would add everything is tuberculosis by john green, his experience as a fiction-author made it so easy to read

Added!! Thank you!
