Bill Bryson has to be one of my favorite non-fiction writers. His book about hiking the Appalachian Trail, A Walk in the Woods, was both informative and quite humorous. I had such a great time with that book, so I’ve been wanting to read another of his books. This one talks about Bill Bryson re-settling in the United States after spending years abroad. I’m sure it will be just as engaging!

James Herriot was one of my favorite authors when I was a kid. I loved reading about his adventures as a Yorkshire veterinarian and tore through his collection of tales at rapid speed. So when I discovered that his son had written a biography on his dad, I knew I wanted to read it. It’s sat on my TBR for ages, now, but I would love to read it sooner rather than later.

So you may or may not know that I’m a huge fan of the Broadway musical, Hamilton. When I discovered that Lin Manuel Miranda decided he wanted to create the musical after reading this book, I knew it had to go on my TBR. It’s a thick boi, though, so I’ve been intimidated about picking it up. Especially since I don’t know what Ron Chernow’s writing style is like. I’m hoping it won’t read like a textbook 😬

As someone who works in the medical field, specifically in the lab in microbiology, I’ve always found microorganisms fascinating. The current state of world (hello, Covid) makes me even more intrigued. So this non-fiction about pandemics definitely caught my eye. This book has a 4.0 rating, which I think is pretty great for a non-fiction! And I have heard good things about this specific book, so I’m eager to give it a go.

This is another book I added to my TBR simply because I loved a previous book by the author. The Devil in the White City was an excellent read and made me want to pick up everything by Erik Larson. I set my eyes on his book about the tragedy of the Lusitania as my next read from him. It’s a topic that has interested me and I already know I enjoy Larson’s writing. I’m excited to give this one a read… eventually, haha.
