For us here in the American South, August means back-to-school supplies, end-of-summer vacations, and more vegetables to can than we can count. For me, I love spending cool evenings walking my Corgis as I listen to an audiobook. Summer evenings have to be the best part of the season.
Speaking of books, I have quite the summer TBR, and I’m happy to share it all with you. But there are so many top-tier nonfiction titles, where do you even start? You could start with a firsthand account of a survivor of America’s attack on Hiroshima in 1945. Or you could jump into an essay collection featuring the author’s story of how her marriage of convenience turned into love. You could check out a book all about North America’s most haunted places. Or maybe you could dive into a memoir by one of America’s most beloved librarians. Or, if you’re an art history fan, you could peruse a book all about our most depraved and obscene art.
In celebration of true stories, I’ve collected some of the most exciting nonfiction titles hitting shelves in August. You might be new to nonfiction or a true stories pro, but whatever the case, there’s sure to be something on this list that catches your eye.
