I’m a big literary fiction/classics girlie but this year found it’s possible for me to love non-fiction after reading Devil in the White City and Killers of the Flower Moon.
I loved the way they read almost like novels, with nearly unbelievable stories, twists and turns, and PICTURES. I love historical photography and was really into the integration of photographs in both books.
I’m gonna continue reading books by these authors (I’m partic excited to read The Wager) but looking for suggestions of similar non fiction books by other authors. I’ve read In Cold Blood and that was also a 5 star read for me.
I love true crime and into niche/weird history but open to any subject, really, as long as the writing is engaging and not dry.
Tia!
