Hey y’all! For Blogmas Day 11 I wanted to go over some non-fiction that I own. Over the past year I have, apparently, gained a lot of non-fiction. I have never been a huge non-fiction reader but for some reason I have slowly been reading more and more. My favorite kind of non-fiction is about American history, specifically the Civil War, slavery, and the civil rights movement. I could go on a long rant about what I think about history that’s taught in school but I’ll save it for my journal. Lol. Anyway, my other interest include science and true crime. Here is the surprisingly long list of non-fiction that is on my shelf. I’m gonna just list them and link the Goodreads pages:
