These are the runners-up for each month. Some of these scored higher than some of the top books in some months. So I thought they deserved some recognition.

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This | Omar El Akkad

I read 47 Nonfiction Books this year.

These are my top 11 The tagged is essential reading. I literally cannot say enough good things about it.

Omar Al Akkad is a treasure.

#Bestof2025 apparently you have a really good chance of making my list if your cover is yellow for some odd reason?

ChaoticMissAdventures A book about Native legal fights and how they have shaped not only Native tribes but also the US as a whole:

By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land

ChaoticMissAdventures I didn't know so much of the juicy gossip that surrounded Churchill, this is the story of his son's first wife and how she was a political powerhouse behind the scenes:

Kingmaker: Pamela Churchill Harriman's Astonishing Life of Seduction, Intrigue and Power

ChaoticMissAdventures The story of Edouard Louis' father and how the French government ignores and makes life harder for the poor. I learned so much about French government and rural France life from this very short book

Who Killed My Father

See All 13 Comments

ChaoticMissAdventures Rick Steves is a national treasure 💓 And this was a fun trip to take with him and he how much he has grown or stayed the same over the decades.

On the Hippie Trail: Istanbul to Kathmandu and the Making of a Travel Writer

ChaoticMissAdventures Mary Roach is exactly my brand of humor, and this latest from her is wonderful, it covers so many topics on the body from reproductive organs, limbs, eyes, hair! What can be replaced, or remolded on our bodies? How far are people willing to go? Fascinating.

Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy

ChaoticMissAdventures This is topping many people's best of lists this year, for good reason. A quick and heartfelt book about TB

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

ChaoticMissAdventures I learned a ton about New Zealand government, and also learned that I really like Arden, even more than I thought I did. A lovely, compassionate, and relatable woman.

A Different Kind of Power: A memoir

ChaoticMissAdventures I adore Jose Andres. He is the best of us. I thought this tiny book was very impactful. He talks about is views on the world, and how he got involved in what I think is one of the top 5 most important charities out there today. Feed people and watch the world heal. Highly recommend -

Change the Recipe: Because You Can't Build a Better World Without Breaking Some Eggs

ChaoticMissAdventures This book is about Black ballerinas Harlem. It is about their struggles and their talent, and their community. A heart felt and impressive look at these women who are so often overlooked because someone doesn't think their skin tone will look good onstage. I found this read really absorbing -

The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History

ChaoticMissAdventures I have loved Marsha P Johnson for many years, this biography gave me a much deeper look into her life beyond Stonewall, her activism, and tragic brutal death. Tourmaline is an excellent writer and spent many years researching, interviewing and gathering material so we can all know Marsha beyond the headlines -

Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson

squirrelbrain The Jacinda Arden book was SO close to making my list. 4d

ChaoticMissAdventures @squirrelbrain I just find her so refreshing! I also read Angela Merkel's book this year and that was very good also. 4d

Chelsea.Poole Oh good picks! I‘ve read several of these but I have others on my list I didn‘t get around to. Namely Marsha and Hippie Trail. 4d
