This is such a great list! I've got to get a copy of The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control! I started Meditations for Mortals and like it, his writing is so conversational it feels like talking to a friend
That is an excellent way to describe Burkeman's writing - he manages to impart really good wisdom but in such a thoughtful, unforced manner. I'm glad you enjoyed the list - thank you for letting me know! I've been fortunate with a lot of great reads this year!
Ha ha, that's always a (wonderful) risk when reading favorites-of-the-year lists, isn't it?! :-) I'm glad you've found some here to add to your TBR. Feel free to share your thoughts on any when you get to them!
Really excited to dive into so many of these! I loved How to Know a Person, and so many others are on my list, especially Serviceberry and Grief is for People. Thanks for sharing!
Oh good, I'm glad to hear you're excited about these! It sounds like we may have similar reading tastes, so feel free to share any others that topped your list. I'm looking forward to more great books in 2025!
New subscriber here and just reading through this list has already made it a great decision! I am heading to the bookstore today (some awesome gift ideas in here) and my own leaning tower of TBRs will soon be challenged to stay aloft! Thank you - can’t wait to see your Best of Fiction list!
Ha ha - I can totally relate to that leaning tower of TBRs! :-) Thanks so much for subscribing, and I am happy to hear you found some potential reads here. The fiction list is due to come out on Thursday! Happy reading, Anne!
I agree! I found it incredibly eye-opening, and Desmond has such an accessible writing style. A very important book - I'm glad you found it valuable, too!
All these books sound AMAZING! I've heard of many of these authors and either never read any of their stuff at all (just heard of them) or have read other books by them, not your recs. Thanks for this fantastic list! Adding to my towering TBR pile! 😄
I'm so happy these books resonated with you, Caitlin! I'd love to know your thoughts if you pick any of them up. And if you have other recs by these authors (or others), feel free to share - our TBR piles may be towering but there's always room for more, right?! :-)

This is my kind of list—nonfiction is my love language!
I love that description! :-) I hope you find some you enjoy on this list, Danielle. And feel free to recommend others you've come across this year!
Well, my TBR pile is now a few inches higher! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to write this! I’m motivated to choose a few!
I'm glad you found a few that speak to you, Jane! I'd love to hear what you think of any you decide to pick up. Thank you for your comment!
Thanks for sharing your thoughtful list!
You're so welcome, Caitlin - thank you for reading and commenting!

Poverty by America is such a well researched and comprehensive book , a must read
