Nonfiction

Every month or so, I try to read and review at least one nonfiction title. Mostly these are books that I choose to read, but occasionally I’ll accept requests for review for nonfiction if it’s a topic I’m deeply interested in or an author I’ve read before and enjoyed. These are the titles I’m planning on reading this year so far.
