In addition to the books I’ve chosen to list here, The Best American series publishes on November 1st, with collections including Essays, Science and Nature, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Short Stories, Mystery and Suspense, and Food Writing — are always favorites of mine. There’s also a cheeky (couldn’t help it, sorry) book entitled Butts: A Backstory, by Heather Radke (out Nov 29th) that’s both informative and entertaining. (The cover is fantastic, and sure to start lots of conversations.) The nonfiction books listed below aren’t the only nonfiction books out this month, but they’re the ones I’m most excited about. If you’re looking for even more new releases this month, Book Riot Insiders has a great New Release Index that comes in handy when you’re searching for a new read. Let’s dive in, shall we? Which one will you pick up first? If you’re looking for even more nonfiction, check out this post about nonfiction books from this past summer, and this post about essential YA nonfiction.
