Having previously studied English at University I love books. I read regularly and a wide variety of literature and non fiction. I particularly love dystopian fantasies, adventure biographies and novels, especially those that immerse you in the landscape and historical fiction.

Ah, non-fiction: the realm of the critical, contemplative, and curious. Non-fiction gives us so many different ways of looking at the world, from the singular perspective of a memoir to the mind-blowing insights of experts in their fields.

As much as it’s an excellent genre for entertainment, it’s also a hub of fascinating analysis and profound thought — the best of both worlds. Reedsy Discovery brings you the best non-fiction books: on these bookshelves, you’re just as likely to stumble upon a personal history as a philosophical manifesto, and you might even pick up something that surprises you.

Of course, if you want to stay up-to-date with your non-fiction reads, you really ought to follow your favorite non-fiction reviewers! Not only will they give you some great recommendations, they’ll also provide a sounding board for your own reflections on the topic at hand. (Remember that you can comment on Discovery reviews — and if these reviewers are anything like you, they’ll be more than thrilled to engage in thoughtful conversation.)
