Nonfiction That Reads Like Fiction - Page 3

Do you avoid reading nonfiction because you think the subjects boring or the prose dryly written? If you're looking to branch out and try some nonfiction but don't want to be bored to tears, try these nonfiction books that read like fiction. This list is a compilation of lists published by Mind Joggle, BookBub, Third Place Books, Vancouver Public Library, Booklist Queen, BiblioLifestyle, Book Riot, Off the Shelf, and Modern Mrs Darcy. Numbers 105-125 are additions of my own. I hope you find some new favorites!
