Nonfiction November

Just as with fiction, I enjoy the variety found in nonfiction reading. I inherited a love of history from my father, so I often find myself reading historical accounts. I’m also intrigued by personality profiles. As an INFJ, I tend to be very introspective, so self-help books also lure me in. I love reading about people—their lives, their choices, their loves, their losses. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite nonfiction reads.

• Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing

• Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand
