My Top 10 Books- Nonfiction

I must admit, I struggled to find a Top 10 nonfiction nominee. We have plenty of nonfiction in our collection. I must have read or browsed through dozens. The Triangle Shirtwaist Company Fire of 1911 by Gina De Angelis was good, but it wasn’t quite Top 10 material. Plus, finding website to match some of these authors and titles proved to be a chore.
My luck changed when a friend at work loaned me More Book Lust by Nancy Pearl (2005 Sasquatch Books). Nancy Pearl is a noted librarian from the Seattle area. She even has her own action figure! No joke.
Book Lust and More Book Lust represents a best of list for every (and I mean every) occasion. Pearl is a self proclaimed readaholic, and her lust for books shows.
She is writing for adults, but I would (and already have) recommend her books to the avid high school readers that are always looking for something fresh. Between Pearl’s hundreds of categories and thousands of titles you are sure to find something to suit your tastes.
