The One About Non-Fiction
from Hot Girls Read Podcast · host Julia Yee and Ayesha Mukherjee
S2E6: In today’s episode, we continue the momentum of sharing our most memorable books in a particular genre, starring Non-Fiction. However, before jumping into the meat of our episode, we start out with a little more booktok drama that just had to be aired out. That aside, while Non-Fiction may not seem to make as many appearances on our podcast as Fantasy or Fiction, it is not a genre to be slept on! Indeed, we had so many books to talk about, we were only able to share our absolute top recommendations without going on for too long. We wrap up with a little discussion about our relationship to the genre itself, the iconic ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ books (IYKYK), and some Non-Fiction books we have in the pipeline. The entirety of our considerable list of great Non-Fiction reads can be found on our Instagram page - be sure to check it out so you can add to your never ending TBR! We definitely had a lot to add after this one!

Maas ---- 3:35 - Currently Reading 8:14 - Non-Fiction Categories 9:22 - History 16:12 - Biographies, Autobiographies, & Memoirs 26:10 - Academic Texts 27:27 - Self-Help & Instruction 33:25 - Humor & Commentary
