Top Nonfiction Reads of 2024

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…when people release their booklists and rate top 10 books!!! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a top 10 list and deciding if I agree or disagree with it. Make sure that you have your Goodreads or book journal set up next to you so that you can add some of these books to your TBR!

In 2024, I have so far (as of Dec 16) read 105 books. 37 of those books were nonfiction. That means that 35% of the books I read this year were nonfiction. Since nonfiction tends to be slower and sometimes meatier, I will take that percentage!

For the sake of your time and mine, I am not going to write a description for each book below. I have written monthly book reviews that I will link at the end of this post that you can go back and read my more lengthy reviews. For now…here are my nonfiction books of 2024….
