When it comes to nonfiction, I’m not picky: I’ll read almost anything, as long as it captures my interest and is well-written, with bonus points if it makes me think about something I never really thought about before. Lucky for me (and you!) there are a bunch of great nonfiction books being published this month: memoirs, sociological explorations, science books by notable figures, parenting books, essays, and much more. I’ve rounded up ten new nonfiction releases that you’ll want to check out, including books exploring disability justice, religious identity, family, queer identity, intergenerational trauma, and the pandemic. This is by no means an exhaustive list of the books being published this month, and if you’d like to explore even more great books, check out the Book Riot’s New Release Index. Get your library cards ready, grab your favorite fall beverage, and let’s go! Which one are you reading first? If you’re looking for even more nonfiction, check out this post on the best nonfiction books of the last decade, and new nonfiction that came out this past summer.
