    • Top Books in 2020 Part One: Best Nonfiction

      Posted at 10:02 am by Jeddarae, on December 31, 2020

      In years past, I’ve posted my top 20 reads of the year, but, if I did that this year, I’d be ignoring all of the fantastic literature that helped me cope with 2020.

      So, I’ve decided to make my favorite reads a three-part series.  

      Let’s start with my favorite nonfiction reads!


      1. Invisible Women:  Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez–published 2019–feminist nonfiction–five stars.

      1. Hood Feminism:  Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall–published 2020–feminist nonfiction–five stars.

      1. Because Internet:  Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch–published 2019–humanities/linguistics–five stars.

      1. We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby–published 2017–memoir/essays–five stars.

      1. Untamed by Glennon Doyle–published 2020–memoir/essays/self-help–four stars.

      1. Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism:  And Other Arguments for Economic Independence by Kristen R. Ghodsee–published 2018–feminism/politics–four stars.

      1. The Color of Law:  A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein–published 2017–history/race/politics–four stars.

      1. Catch and Kill:  Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow–published 2019–general nonfiction/crime–four stars.

      1. Pushout:  The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools by Monique W. Morris–published 2016–education/race–four stars.
