June for me means quiet mornings before heading to the bookstore to work at my day job. I love to sit at the cafe next door, watch the morning commuters grab their coffee, and listen to my latest audiobook.
When it comes to my TBR for June, it’s full of must-read spring nonfiction releases. But there are so many—where do you even begin?! You could start with a memoir about relearning how to recapture your sense of self after a traumatic brain injury. Or you could jump into a story of a shipwreck in Micronesia in the early 1800s. You could read Zinzi Clemmons’s new essay collection that delves into the very notion of what it means to be free. Or maybe you could check out Sarah Wilson’s new book about moving forward when the entire world is on fire. If you’re a political memoir fan, you could pick up the new memoir from Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve in the presidential cabinet.
In celebration of true stories, I’ve collected some of the most exciting nonfiction titles hitting shelves in June. 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.
