Books

So, I no longer have Storygraph (I wanted something with an API, and after switching to Hardcover, I didn't want to keep up with two platforms), so I can't link that unfortunately. However, since we share some of the same interests and I've been keeping a list of nonfiction reads that I've enjoyed or find intriguing, I'll type them here.
