While brilliantly written fiction can elicit a range of different range of emotions from readers, there is something about great nonfiction which lends a story a more profound set of feelings. A great fiction story can entertain, thrill, scare or intrigue. However, when a reader knows that what they’re reading is someone’s real-life experience, they can react in a much deeper way. Well-written nonfiction can inspire, make people cry and laugh and, in some cases, motivate people.
Here are some nonfiction books which are being released this year and are worth seeking out
