A to Z April – N: Nonfiction

Posted April 16, 2014 by Lisa Mandina in / 10 Comments

For today’s post I’m kind of lumping a bunch of different types of books together.  There are so many different types of nonfiction, or “true” books.  I’m going to choose a few of my favorites that I actually read and share them with you.

1.  I already shared probably my favorite with you, and that was biographies/memoirs.  You can go back and read my post on that HERE.

2.  My second favorite group would probably be science.  As a former science teacher, with my undergraduate degree in biology and earth science.  Some of my favorite science books you can see below, and you can tell I guess, that I’m a huge dinosaur freak.  And the last one I actually included with my biography post back on #1, but it is a lot of science, and I loved that.



3.  My 3rd favorite type of nonfiction is humor.  This can be memoirs again, I love a funny life story.  Or else lately there have been some books based on technology type things that I read and it just cracks me up!!  Here are a few of my favorites.
 

4.  History is another area that I sometimes find interesting.  I don't know that I've actually read that many history books, and a lot of them though, are often true crime types of books.  Here are the ones I remember reading.  The last one I'm still reading.  I have it on my iphone and whenever I go somewhere and don't happen to have anything to read, I can pull it up and read. 

5.  The final type of nonfiction I like to "read" are cookbooks.  I technically don't read them, just look for recipes I like and then make them.  If I have time.  And I also picked this because I got to listen to the author of the Hungry Girl cookbooks, and now diet last night, so I wanted to share that picture.  But first I'll share 3 cookbooks I have actually used. -->

And here is a picture of Lisa Lillien, the "Hungry Girl" herself, speaking last night at the Barnes and Noble where I work part time.
So, how about you? Do you read much nonfiction?  If so, what type do you like to read?

    • Those are the books that get me laughing so hard I'm crying, well the autocorrect and cake wrecks book do. The dog shaming one just amuses me as I see things my puppy does.

    I have always been a fan of fiction but the older I get I find myself wanting to read non-fiction. I guess I'm always looking to escape so I pull the fiction book off the shelf first. I'd like to read a book on Einstein or Cleopatra. There has always been something about them that fascinated me.
