Happy Friday and welcome to March, fellow nonfiction readers! I cannot even begin to tell you how glad I am to turn the page to a new month and leave February in the dust.
Just for Book Riot readers: sign up for an Audible account, and get two audiobooks free!
Over at Book Riot, I finally got to publish my contribution to Book Riot’s 2019 Read Harder Challenge, a post of my best recommendations for a business book (task 17). The post was a lot of fun to write, and includes several of my favorites including Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and The Great Beanie Baby Bubble by Zac Bissionnette.
Happily, that’s just one of the many great nonfiction posts over at Book Riot, which made me think it’s a perfect time to round up some of my favorites from the last month or so. Let’s go!
