Happy Friday! 

I hope you are having a great week so far. 

This has been a very busy week and I am really looking forward to some relaxing and reading time on the weekend. I need to do a bit of Christmas shopping and get ready for our next guest who is arriving late Saturday night. We can’t wait to show him around!

Today I am sharing my top picks for non-fiction books this year. I don’t have many tried and tested non-fiction picks. I mostly read fiction, and a few of the non-fiction books I did read, I didn’t really like. So I’ve kept them off my list and instead I only put the ones I actually enjoyed, and other books with buzz that are on my to-read list, or that I’ve been hearing a lot about.

Tried and Tested: 

1. To Love and Let Go by Rachel Brathen 

2. How Not to Die by Michael Greger 

Books with Buzz: 

1. Parking the Moose by Dave Hill

2. The Truth About Animals by Lucy Cooke

3. Fair Play by Eve Rodsky

4. Ballerina Project by Dane Shitagi

5. How to: absurd scientific advice for common real-world problems by Randall Munroe

6. Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell 

7. The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson 

8. Catch and Kill: lies, spies, and a conspiracy to protect predators by Ronan Farrow 

Here are my fiction and non-fiction gift guides from last year, and my 2019 fiction guide.

Happy reading :)
