Nonfiction Friday is a link-up where you can find all of the awesome nonfiction happenings of the week.
- Despite everything that was 2020 (or perhaps because of it!), this year has kicked off with even higher sales of self-improvement books than last year!
- It’s still the time of year when everything is lists, but I’ve made myself pick just one good one to share in each of three categories – best of 2020 nonfiction, nonfiction to look forward to in 2021, and nonfiction for teens.
- Isabel Wilkerson, author of Caste and Warmth of Other Suns, is speaking at the University of Wisconsin for MLK day! I just saw her (virtually) at my local library and I’d recommend her talk, perhaps more if you’ve not yet read her book.
- Also, Roxane Gay’s book club has kicked off this week and it’s looking incredibly promising so far, with author discussions for members every month.
- Nonfiction to look forward to in the next week includes:
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
Great links as always, definitely going to check out the SheReads list for 2021

Thanks Shelleyrae! They always have some good books to suggest 🙂

I hadn’t heard of Nobody’s Normal before, but that sounds right up my alley! I’m adding it to the list right now!

I’ve really been interested in all the mental health related books coming out lately, including the memoirs from therapists. They mostly seem to take a considerate approach to mental illness, which is a perspective I’d love to get more of.

Hmmm… Robert E. Lee and Me sounds interesting but it also sounds like it covers quite a bit of the same ground that Lies My Teacher Told Me does. I’ll get to it at some point but probably not too soon. I can’t read too many infuriating books like that too closely together.
And now I’m off to look at the best nonfiction of 2020 list.
Thanks for sharing!

I may already have said this on your review, but I’ve had Lies My Teacher Told Me on my to-read list for probably a decade and never picked it up. Probably I should get to at least one of these.
I get needing to space out your infuriating nonfiction! I can also only manage that in small doses.

Reading Warmth of Other Suns right now and then will read Caste!
Also, looking forward to Nobody’s Normal. I’m loving the books on mental health and illness coming out. So important.

Awesome! I rarely make time to get to the backlist books by author’s I’ve loved and I really should do that. Warmth of Other Suns is one I’d love to pick up.
