My first choice is non fiction so thanks for this video. Found several add to my list. Happy new year and thanks for all your amazing book reviews and crafting progress. Enjoyed them all.
I recommend reading Into the Amazon the life of Candido Rondón, Trailblazing explorer, scientist, statesman, and conservationist by Larry Rohter. I'm almost halfway through and I am loving it! This guy is amazing!
A lot of great books on this list! There are a few I've been meaning to get to and I'll have to bump them up on my list. I've actually never read Siddhartha Mukherjee, but I'm determined to get to him this year. If you want to read more about Africa, I recommend Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds: Ebola and the Ravages of History by Paul Farmer. Happy new year!
Into Siberia sounds fascinating! I really enjoyed A Taste of Poison. Angela's Ashes has been a long-time favorite. He has written two more memoirs but his first is the best. While You Were Out is on my TBR but too heavy right now. So many great gems! Are you going to make a fiction favorites too?
I LOVED The Feather Thief! Read it in 2023. My non-fiction reading fell off a cliff in 2024. I’m going to make a concerted effort to read 1 non-fiction each month in 2025. Flawless and Barons both sound fascinating. Do you have a Goodreads account?
The Feather Thief was so fun! I don't have a public Goodreads account. I just use a private one to keep a list of the books that I have read. But everything on my channel should be tagged so if you go to the search bar on my channel and type in a book it should show up if I have talked about it!
What a great range of topics! Paradise Falls was so fantastic, highly underrated. I'm definitely getting to Erik Larson in 2025, Cobalt Red also one I missed in 2024 I need to prioritize. Have you read Kim jiyong born 1982? I wonder if that dovetails with flowers of fire.
Seven Fallen Feathers was such a good read. I finished it only a couple of weeks ago but it still had to make the list. I think you would really like Angela's Ashes! I know The Keening (by you!) was about a family from Scotland but the difficulties of this family from Ireland made me think of your book!
I listened to King on audio. I have not reviewed it because I was hesitant because there is some surprising revelations about MLK in this book that are far from flattering. It was really a shock book. I did find the history of him and his family very interesting though. Thank you for reviewing this one. It's the first review I've seen.
It is an interesting book with many shocking revelations but also felt like a fairly fair portrait while not shying away from the difficult information. Melinda @awebofstories has some really great thoughts on it as well if you wanted to hear more reviews!
It is such a good one! The narrative is so compelling that it reads more as literary fiction and I had to remind myself that it was a memoir more than once. Good luck with your 2025 reading!
Awesome channel! Always nice to see non fiction fans :)
Thank you so much! I love a good nonfiction read 😊
Tons and tons of good stuff! I'll have to add Cobalt Red and the Hothschild WW1 book to my Tbr for sure. Amazing vid Hannah!
Thank you! I think you would really like both of those books. Hochschild seems like an author you would really enjoy.
This list. I’m supposed to slow down on buying but then, this list! So good!
These are such good ones! I hope you enjoy!

If you like books about science Mukherjee is a must read! I will add Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds to my TBR right now. Thank you!

Yes! That should be going up today! I have another 24 favorites that were fiction 😊
Such great books! I hope to get to In the Garden of Beasts in 2025
Since you liked The Demon of Unrest I am sure you will like In the Garden of Beasts as well!

I haven't read Kim Jiyong Born 1982 but it is going on my list right now! Thanks!
The only one I've read is Seven Fallen Feathers, but there are lots about injustices that look compelling!
Seven Fallen Feathers was such a good read. I finished it only a couple of weeks ago but it still had to make the list. I think you would really like Angela's Ashes! I know The Keening (by you!) was about a family from Scotland but the difficulties of this family from Ireland made me think of your book!
@ oh, I read Angela’s ashes so long ago I barely remember it, except that it was a tearjerker!
I listened to King on audio. I have not reviewed it because I was hesitant because there is some surprising revelations about MLK in this book that are far from flattering. It was really a shock book. I did find the history of him and his family very interesting though. Thank you for reviewing this one. It's the first review I've seen.

You did a good job at explaining. 👍
Thank you!
I plan to read more non-fiction this year so this list is going to be handy 🙂I already own Angela’s Ashes but haven't read it.
It is such a good one! The narrative is so compelling that it reads more as literary fiction and I had to remind myself that it was a memoir more than once. Good luck with your 2025 reading!
I have Viola Davis's book but I haven't read it yet. I need to get it started.
It was so good! I think you will love it!
Angela's ashes is my all time favorite book.
It was a good one! He wrote two follow ups to Angela's Ashes but I haven't read them! Did you read either of those?
