I had so many ideas for this week’s prompt that I decided to narrow it down to nonfiction titles only. 2020 is shaping up to be an awesome year for finding new stuff to read.
1. The Magical Language of Others: A Memoir by E.J. Koh
Publication Date: January 7
Why I’m Excited for It: This author was abandoned by her parents at age 15. I’m incredibly curious to find out how she survived on her own at such a tender age.
2. Cold Fusion Presents: New Thinking: From Einstein to Artificial Intelligence, the Science and Technology that Transformed Our World by Dagogo Altraide
Publication Date: January 15
Why I’m Excited for It: Cold fusion honestly isn’t something I understand very well. I’m hoping this book will change that.
3. Denali: A Man, a Dog, and the Friendship of a Lifetime by Ben Moon
Publication Date: January 14
Why I’m Excited for It: Stories about rescue dogs being given wonderful lives never fail to grab my attention. The fact that Mr. Moon was diagnosed with such a serious type of cancer shortly after adopting his dog only makes me more eager to see if they’ll both get the happy ending I’m hoping for.
4. Friendship: The Evolution, Biology, and Extraordinary Power of Life’s Fundamental Bond by Lydia Denworth
Publication Date: January 28
Why I’m Excited for It: I love reading about friendships, especially when they’re explored through a historic or scientific point of view. They’re not given as much attention as romantic relationships, but they’re just as important in my opinion.
5. Almost American Girl by Robin Ha
Publication Date: January 28
Why I’m Excited for It: I’m an immigrant, so I’m always interested in reading other people’s stories of moving from one country to another.

by M.R. O’Connor
Publication Date: April 30

9. A Road Back from Schizophrenia: A Memoir by Arnhild Lauveng
Publication Date: May 5
Why I’m Excited for It: I haven’t run into a lot of books about schizophrenia that were written from by someone who had that illness. This sounds like it will be a great read.

Great list! Friendship sounds really interesting, I’ll have to check that one out.
Thank you very much!
I haven’t heard of these, but hope you enjoy them when you read them!
Thanks a lot!
Haven’t heard about any of these – but love memoirs. Will definitely check out several.
I hope to read more nonfiction this year, but most of the books I have my eye on are older. Many of these sound so tempting! Almost American Girl and A Map is Only One Story particularly interest me. I hope you enjoy these all if you read them! Happy Reading!
Thank you. I hope you have a good time reading those books.
Enjoy!
Almost Interesting Girl is something I’d like to read. And I really love how diverse and unpredictable the list is. Happy reading! 🙂
Thanks a lot! I hope you like Almost Interesting Girl.
Great list. I don’t read anywhere near as much non fiction as I probably should. I’m on the hunt at the moment for a book on a subject I know nothing about for the Popsugar challenge so this definitely gives me some ideas
That’s awesome. Have fun with that challenge.
This is a great list. Friendship, Almost American Girl, and Wayfinding all sound fascinating to me.
Thank you a lot. Happy reading!
Every year I tell myself I should read more non-fiction and I never end up actually accomplishing that goal, but a book about friendship sounds like just the book I’d love!
That’s awesome! Enjoy.
The Magical Language of Others and Wayfinding sound really, really compelling. I’ll definitely be checking them out, thanks for letting us know about them!
You’re welcome. Happy reading!
What a great list! These are all new to me, but I’m very intrigued by Wayfinding. I love stories about explorers. 🙂
Thank you very much. I love stories about explorers, too, as you probably already guessed.
I am going to have to look up Almost American Girl. Sounds like something I’d enjoy.
Happy reading!
I don’t think I have ever, willingly outside of school, read a nonfiction book. I kind of want to start reading more non-fiction.
There is so much great nonfiction out there. My fingers are crossed that you’ll find the perfect nonfiction book(s) for your tastes.
These all sound pretty good! Lots of varied subject matter to lose oneself in. The Magical Language of Others I think looks especially good.
I appreciate that, Greg. Thanks. I’m going to go see now if I can leave a comment on your site! (Last week I had trouble with it).
Great list! The Magical Language of Others and Almost American Girl sound very interesting.
Thanks. Will you be reading those books?
Denali sounds like an interesting story. You had me at rescue dog! Enjoy your books! 🙂
I know, right? Rescue dogs are such a heartwarming thing to read about.
I haven’t heard about any of these, so thanks for the recs! Will check them out 🙂
You’re welcome. Enjoy.
I really should try and read more non fiction
I hope you do!
Almost American Girl immediately made my TBR, it looks so good thank you for the recommendation! I hope all of these books and more are five star reads for you friend! <3
Thank you and that’s wonderful. I hope you like that book.
Wayfinding looks really interesting, thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Hope you enjoy all of these upcoming 2020 releases! Looks like you have a good variety of genres/topics. Happy reading – and thanks so much for the visit to Finding Wonderland last week. 🙂
