I’ve recently listened to “I’m Glad My Mom Died” by Jennette McCurdy and “Kitchen Confidential” & “Medium Raw” by Anthony Bourdain. I absolutely adored all three of these books, especially the Bourdain books due to a love of cooking. Im looking for more nonfiction audiobooks, bonus points of read by the author.

for food: Eat a Peach by David Chang
somewhat akin to McCurdy: Crying in H Mart and Hello Molly by Molly Shannon
A random but very engrossing nonfiction read about a cult in Manhattan: The Sullivanians by Alexander Stille
Two of my favourite recent “celebrity memoirs” are *I’m Glad My Mom Died* and Trevor Noah’s *Born a Crime*. So would definitely recommend the latter!
*We Are Bellingcat* is very interesting, I listened to it all in one day while moving and it definitely made the day better. I listened to a translated version, but the og English one is read by the author, Eliot Higgins.
Other than that, I enjoyed *Ten Steps to Nanette* by Hannah Gadsby. It was a tad long but also read by the author, and she has great delivery.
Dude, this category makes up a huge portion of my reading list. Here are a few awesome titles off the top of my head. Hope you love them as much as I did.
*Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life* –Lulu Miller
*The Biggest Bluff: How I Learned to Pay Attention, Master Myself, and Win* –Maria Konnikova
*Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen* –Mary Norris
*Running With Sherman* –Christopher McDougal
*Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language* –Amanda Montell
*Escape into Meaning: Essays on Superman, Public Benches, and Other Obsessions* –Evan Pushak
*The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet* –John Green

Sexed Up by Julia Serano is a feminist book about sex and culture. It’s read by the author, but I’m not sure that’s a boon here lol. Regardless it was an interesting read– Or in this case, listen.
I don’t listen to audiobooks often so that’s the only one I can say for sure has a decent audiobook!
