My Favourite Non-Fiction Books!

This is an exceptional history book which is bringing back voices throughout the centuries of black Britons... it's really great at balancing the wider context of these time periods... and it felt very comprehensive highly recommend it.

It's so beautifully and carefully managed... he's so self-aware and but it works brilliantly... it's a completely beautiful read.

This is a fascinating book about Tara's life growing up in not quite a cult but a very overtly religious family... it's absolutely fascinating it's very frustrating.

This was one of the first books non-fiction books that I read on feminism... it really blew me away at the time... I think it's a book that I would definitely recommend.

Inside This Place, Not of It is one of the most harrowing books that I've read this year... it's eye-opening and very distressing but very necessary.

I listened to this old audiobook and I don't know that I'd recommend it because it was actually quite terrifying and having something scary in your ears just feels quite intimate and I'm not sure I liked it. ... this is a fascinating look at human inaction

It's half autobiography half social commentary and what she conveys so well is the cycle of poverty and how difficult it is to get out of that... it's very interesting to see her confront her own childhood and a lot of trauma really that happened.

I love the mix of his personal touch of his experience growing up what it was like for him to be living with his white mother and then how much she made sure that her children had their education as part of the African diaspora it's a fantastic look at the intersection between race and cultural issues within Britain specifically

I think what Hallie Rubenhold does absolutely expertly here is balance the personal with the wider context of Victorian London at that time... this is just giving them back their stories... I would highly recommend this.

It's one of those books which seems very easy to read very readable very fun almost quite lightweight and which really hides how skillful it is... it's just a look at gender in general... it's really fun.

It is just fascinating and upsetting and eye-opening and it makes you appreciate the NHS so much and I think it should be required reading everyone should read it.

This is extremely lyrical extremely beautiful and very sad... it's such a poignant look at what life is what life means... I think it's very much worth the effort.
