- I love this article on the complementary purposes of fiction and non-fiction. Fantastic!

- As someone who enjoys memoirs and creative non-fiction, I thought these essays about writing in those genres gave an interesting new perspective
- Exciting non-fiction coming out this week includes:
- A Less Boring History of the World
- Wonder Woman Unbound: The Curious History of the World’s Most Famous Heroine
- Nisei Daughter
- The Remedy: Robert Koch, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the Quest to Cure Tuberculosis

I enjoyed the article on non-fiction for young readers. As a die hard fiction reader I am always surprised that my daughter gravitates towards “information books” instead of stories. Who know, maybe someday she will be contributing to your site more than me!

How cool! I have such fond memories of reading with my mom, I always love hearing about young readers. And I think it’s wonderful that she likes to read non-fiction too
A Less Boring History of the World and The Remedy are going on my list!

I’ve started seeing some really good reviews for The Remedy, so I’d particularly like to read that one
Ooh, good to know! I actually just started taking a class with a TB professor, so I’m hoping to get my hands on this one soon!
