2017 Favorites List Part 4: Non-Fiction

I have descended even further into becoming a non-fiction fan this past year. Here are some of my favorites. Again, if your favorite is not on here it is because 1) It was not a favorite of mine. or 2) I haven't read it yet.

Memoir/Biographies

Hunger: A Memoir of My Body by Roxane Gay
Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin by Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin
This is Just My Face, Try Not to Stare by Gabourey Sidebe

Essay collections/Opinion type books

Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America by Michael Eric Dyson

All the Lives I Want by Alana Massey

Wolf Whistle Politics: The New Misogyny in Public Life Today by various authors (edited by Naomi Wolf)

History/everything else:

Never Caught: The Washinton's Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave Ona Judge by Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman (apparently this counts as non-fiction as everyone puts it in the non-fiction section...I find that weird as it's clearly retold mythology fiction...but whatever)

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
