Nonfiction Grazer
I will be going for the Nonfiction Grazer goal; I have a few nonfiction books in mind that I’ll list below and cross off as I finish them, but otherwise I just want to share the nonfiction I read through the year!
The Books
I will be crossing them off and/or listing them here as I go. Check back often to see what I’ve read!
- Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green – finished
- Dare to Lead by Brené Brown – finished
- The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green
- Unnatural Causes by Richard Shepherd
- Eve by Cat Bohannon
- The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner
- Educated by Tara Westover
- The Radium Girls by Kate Moore
- Into the Wild by John Krakauer
- The Enchanted Life by Sharon Blackie
- The Hot Zone by Richard Preston
- Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
- This Isn’t Happening by Stephen Hyden
I really should read The Hot Zone at some point. I’ve read other science writers deploring inaccuracies in it, but that kinda made me more curious, hahaha.
This is a good idea. I might join this Challenge as Grazer too. Into the Wild is a must read … but bring the Kleenex box.
Delighted to have you participate in the Nonfiction Reader Challenge , I look forward to you sharing what you choose to read
