My 2023 TBR Non-Fiction

I wanted to make a separate list for my non-fiction TBR in case anyone was specifically interested in non-fiction. I have to be honest, compared to the amount of fiction recommendations I see, non fiction sort of pales in comparison. However, this girl loves reading non-fiction. I would at some point like to add some biographies, or autobiographies, but for now, here is my non-fiction list! Happy Learning!

Quiet- Susan Cain

I listened to the audiobook a few years ago and it really resonated with me as an introvert and I wanted a little refresher since I could only remember bits and pieces.

Iconic Women of Color- Candi Williams

This is a short book that just gives a snapshot of each woman, but I feel like it gives just enough to ignite my curiosity about these iconic ladies and possibly go on to research them more. As a woman of color it serves as a little dose of inspiration as well.

Women who launch- Marlene Wagman-Geller

Just like with Iconic Women of Color, I love reading inspiring snippets about amazing ladies. This book is all about ladies who have shattered glass ceilings with their accomplishments. It w

The Little Book of Hygge: Danish secrets- Meik Wiking

This one I’ve been wanting to read for some time now. As a lover of all things cozy, I’m totally down to settle down with a warm drink and see how the Danish do it.

Thinking Fast and Slow- Daniel Kahneman

I’ve seen this on a lot of best non-fiction lists, and I’m fascinated by how the brain works, and how that affects introverts and extroverts.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind- Yuval Noah Harari

Diary of a Book Seller- Shaun Bythell

At some point in our lives I think my friends and I have wanted to work in or own a cozy little book shop. So, when I saw this, my curiosity was piqued. It says it follows the ups and downs of the business, and has funny anecdotes about customer service. Having worked in retail for years myself, I feel like I could possibly relate, but also lust over the idea of being surrounded by books, drinking in that amazing bookstore scent.

Portable Magic: A History of Books and Their Readers- Emma Smith

Here’s another book about books, and not just that but a history of books over the past millennium, in places all over the world. The title comes from the idea that books are magic you can carry with you.
