Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week’s theme is Top TEN Non-fiction books I loved and want to read!
I really love this topic because I don’t read that many non-fiction books. I want to but I don’t really know why I don’t. I do read a lot of cook books and crafting books. I’m not going to count those though.
1. Yes Please by Amy Poehler
2. Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
3. Unqualified by Anna Faris
4. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
5. Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography by Neil Patrick Harris, David Javerbaum and Antony Hare
Guys, I love NPH! He can pretty much do anything!
I have read other non-fiction but I didn’t like them much. Most of them are the autobiographies. LOL!
Now onto 5 books I want to read:
1. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
I got this book on a super cheap e-book deal. I did watch the movie but I still need to get to the book!
2. When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
3. Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Johnny Sun
4. Dead Wake by Erik Larson
5. Hindsight: And All the Things I Cannot See in Front of Me by Justin Timberlake.
Most of the ones I want to read were from when I was at the library. So many book clubs used those books and they were recommended often. I don’t know when I will get to them. The JT book- I’m so unsure of but I love him and I will totally read it. I can’t wait for the Miranda and Sun book!
Have you read any of these?? Any that you could recommend to me??
Let me know below!!

Yeah, I normally read a lot of bios but I want to branch out. I mean, I’ve read some good ones that have become popular/movies but still.

I love NPH also, and had no idea about the book. I’m adding it to my TBR list now. Have you read Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris? That or A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson were probably the nonfiction books that made me laugh hardest. 🙂 Here’s my TTT.

I’m not a huge fan of Non-Fiction but I read Wil Wheaten and Felicia Day’s Autobiographies and enjoyed them. Is Neal Patrick Harris’ autobiography actually a choose your own adventure?!?!? That sounds hilarious and I love him so I might have to pick that one up!

Glass Castle was hard to read. I typically don’t read nonfiction. But it’s one of those books you need to pick up.

My favorite of these is Yes, Please, and I see some I need to read! NPH! Because you read The Glass Castle, you may want to read Educated by Tara Westover because they are frequently compared. It’s a controversial memoir, but probably one of my favorites. Great post!

I haven’t read any of these, but I do want to read the Amy Poehler book. I have read two memoirs this year: Educated, and The Only Girl in the World. I highly recommend both of them. The authors overcame abuse in childhood by their families. I use overcame loosely in the in the case of the author of Educated because I have watched two online interviews with her and she seems like the most profoundly sad person in the world. It’s in her voice and I didn’t see her even slightly smile once. It breaks my heart. 😢

Yes Please is a must!! Okay, you are the second person to recommend Educated today and I just added it to my TBR list! Thank you, for the rec. That is just so heart breaking! I’m going to have to make sure I’m in the right mindset to read that one.
