Hello. It’s been a while since I have done a recommendation post and have talked about nonfiction books. I didn’t start reading nonfiction books for pleasure until a few years ago. Since then I have read a lot of nonfiction books, a lot of which were in audio format because its a great way to learn and still be able to do things.
Here are some of my recommendations for nonfiction books. I read a little bit of everything and tried to include a couple of different topics.
