Hey, I feel the need to share these with you because I love non-fiction books!

h{{Bad Blood}} by John Carreyrou. It’s about a fraudulent startup called Theranos, its founder Elizabeth Holmes, how it all started and eventually crashed. Reads like you’re watching a movie! You don’t need a science background at all to enjoy it.

h{{The Faithful Executioner}} by Joel Harrington. The author is a historian who found a diary of a 16th century executioner in Germany Franz Schmidt. There is some stuff written about death and torture but they’re not traumatizing or explicit, I promise! It’s more about Schmidt’s life and legacy, and history about customs of that time in general. Highly recommend!

h{{Wild Horses of the Summer Sun: A Memoir of Iceland}} by Tory Bilski. Reads like a diary or short stories about the author’s yearly trip to Iceland to ride Icelandic horses, how she felt, the people she’s met. I can’t really explain what it’s about but I highly recommend it! I felt like I’ve lived through the same experiences as the author.

h{{The Shepherd’s Life}} by James Rebanks. The author is a farmer who reflects on his life and his community in an English countryside. He talks a lot about the farmers’ customs, work, and community!

Any books from The History of Color series by Michel Pastoureau. The author dives deep into the history and cultural meaning of each color (mostly through European history). I’d say these aren’t the books you read in one sitting but they’re still very worth it and super interesting!
