Top Ten Nonfiction Reads of 2023

I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl for another Top Ten Tuesday.

Once again, I'm ignoring this week's actual Top Ten Tuesday topic in order to split my favorite reads of the year into nonfiction and fiction. For next week's "Favorite Books of 2023" I'll be sharing my favorite fiction of the year, but now that I've wrapped up my nonfiction reading for the year, I'll share my top nonfiction reads from the year this week. To read more about why I liked them, you can search for them on the blog or check out my Goodreads! (To see my favorite read every month, I encourage you to check out — and link up with — the Best of the Bunch linkup.)
