I just bought Ed Yong’s book based on how much you enjoyed it and because I love his writing on COVID. I’m currently reading Small Town Girl which is about a woman caught up in the UK Spycops scandal. I don’t know if you’ve heard of that. A number of undercover police officers were found to have infiltrated environmental groups, anti-racists groups and started relationships with women, some even had kids with these women. It’s a horrifying but excellent read. I’m a big non-fiction reader, history, biography and disability are the main areas I read.

An Immense World is also shortlisted for the 2023 Royal Society Science Book Prize. That and the Wainwright Prize are my go-to non fiction book prizes.

@cathy2142 9 месяцев назад

You are so professional and fun❤. I wish for you success in all ways you are seeking it❤🎉

@halfmanhalfbook 9 месяцев назад

Great video, Olive. I love the Wainwright Prize, and am a little involved in it too. Can also recommend the Stanford Travel Writing Awards

@longtallfran7986 9 месяцев назад

Yes! I love the Stanford Travel Writing award. Would love to see more book tubers talk about it.

@halfmanhalfbook 9 месяцев назад

Have you come across, Travel Writing World,@@longtallfran7986 ?

@coffemuse 9 месяцев назад

I am so glad you made this video, Olive - thank you! My TBR has grown massively in the last 15 minutes.

@user-tw1qr6ni4w 9 месяцев назад

I am a serious non-fiction nerd so everything that you put out about non fiction I have to hunt down. Thank you for devoting one whole show to just NF !! Maybe we can do more, please ???

@ReadBecca 9 месяцев назад

I read Immense World twice this year! The praise and accolades are fully deserved. Definitely think you will love Paradise Falls, it is an impeccable example of journalistic nonfiction really.

@ReadBecca 9 месяцев назад

Oh also, on this topic and I haven't seen you mention it before, I would be curious what you think of the women's prize adding non fiction, and maybe speculation of what you think we could see there.

@Addressa 9 месяцев назад

omg! I rushed so quickly to put fire weather on my wish list! i love john valliant's books. if you haven't already read 'the golden spruce', you should definitely pick that one up soon. it'll be another 5 star read for sure!

@MarcelaChandía 9 месяцев назад

I love Stephen Moss's writing! It was through his books that I started my journey reading nature writing. He writes for the general public, so everyone can understand the topic, but also, wive the information with humour, anecdotes, commentary and quotes with such a talent that one reaches the end of the book without realising it. So many interesting books in the nominees this year in all the prizes!

@bouquinsbooks 9 месяцев назад

I am so happy to see the Booktube Prize in the same video as the Baillie-Gifford and the National Book Award! I think Paradise Falls would be completely up your alley.

@sl33pwalk3r 9 месяцев назад

Such a good summary! Thank you!

@samuraikakashi56 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for informing me on all of these nonfiction book prizes! These were all treasure troves of books that I can't wait to get to.

@timbatimbero3934 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic Job ! Without your guidance we readers would be lost. Thank You.

@elizabethjonczyk6818 9 месяцев назад

I usually follow the Baillie Gifford and the NBA, but I'm intrigued now about some of the others you listed. The Baillie Gifford has a podcast (Read Smart: The Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction) in which they interview the authors of the shortlisted books. Some of the interviews are really compelling and I have since read books I didn't plan to because the interview was so interesting.

@sheikhmuhammadullah1477 5 месяцев назад

Loved it. Thanks for the wonderful review.

@megm6569 9 месяцев назад

I so appreciate your rant about publishing titles. Are we out of the "Drama, Obsession, and the Niche Thing That Changed the World" era yet??

@cathy2142 9 месяцев назад

I AM having a wonderful day🎉. Healing and hopeful. Thank you for sharing your sweet personality in this video while i do my basement walks. Im doing 6 miles on and off all day EVERY day. Im a caregiver so outside or the gym not possible but moving is healing and this video made it fun❤❤❤

@TheBookBully 9 месяцев назад

this is such a fun video idea! loved it! and added a few books to my TBR

@aus10england 9 месяцев назад

The Flow sounds amazing, and that cover!!! 😍

@StephanieJCohen 9 месяцев назад

Lots of great books. Added several to my TBR. I loved an Immense World!

@francescathomas3502 9 месяцев назад

You said your most favourite Non fiction genre is Nature. Well, mine is mostly history - but I also love reading memoirs and biographies as well. So I guess I have 2 favourite genre's. Some of these books have been added to my wishlist. Thanks.

@AdyGrafovna 9 месяцев назад

I read Red Memory, The Rediscovery of America, and Time to Think for nonfiction November already and I enjoyed all of them. I also found that I had already read many of the books on the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book Prize earlier in the year. I looked at previous years and saw that I had read and enjoyed many of the books over the years as well, so I think it’s a prize I might have to start following.

@EvieM1 9 месяцев назад

Looking forward to getting to ’12 Words for Moss’. I loved ‘The Grassling’.

@BeantownMrs 9 месяцев назад

I'm in the middle of "Muppets in Moscow" and it's absolutely fascinating. I would have thought that the Muppets would be accepted everywhere, but Russia, not so much...

@kartik3719 9 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness yes I couldn’t make it through Vaillant’s speech either 😅 but i’m 25% into Fire Weather right now and he is SUCH an incredible writer! I already know that by the end this book will be a favorite. So incredibly detailed and well written 😍

@abookolive 9 месяцев назад

When he started comparing the work of the judges to apes picking nits, I physically recoiled. 😂 But I'm so happy to hear the book is good! I'm definitely going to try to get to it next year.

@joanneskinner5169 9 месяцев назад

I loved Tiger and The Blue Spruce....both gripping.

@marciajohansson769 9 месяцев назад

Definitely want to read Ed Yong's book An Immense World. Read The Escape Artist is not for the faint hearted about a daring escape from a concentration camp. A non fiction book I just finished is not on these prize lists but was eye opening, frightening in many respects and kept me reading long into the night. The book was The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War by Jeff Sharlet. It gave me a look into American politics especially into those much different than my own.

@MyGrannyEra 9 месяцев назад

This was interesting --- thanks!

@petrina7883 9 месяцев назад

What a great video - thank you!🙏

@getbookish 9 месяцев назад

Paradise Falls was my #1 for the Booktube Prize so I definitely recommend it! -Becks

@krisprepolec5616 9 месяцев назад

I happen to live in Calgary, Alberta. I really enjoyed Fire Weather, so I am excited that it won. I definitely recommend The Golden Spruce by the same author. It was my dad’s favourite book❤

@brittneyhale4136 9 месяцев назад

Hey Olive! Do you have a nonfiction recommendation about Ecuador?

@danazanna 9 месяцев назад

My favorite of the year so far is The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions by Jonathan Rosen about the history of mental health treatment and the tragic story of his closest childhood friend, a brilliant schizophrenic whose life took a dark turn. It is on the Washington Post's list of top 50 nonfiction reads of the year. That list and the comparable New York Times list are my go-to sources for nonfiction (I've read five on the Post's list this year; the NYT's list isn't out yet.) That said, I've got to start following the Wainwright Prize! Overreach and Batteries also look interesting.

@allisonpiazza2317 9 месяцев назад

I'm still sad the Wellcome Prize is on pause! Of the books listed in this video, I'm the most interested in Constructing a Nervous System. Happy Nonfiction November!

@meljstephan 9 месяцев назад

So many good picks

@carleybarnes4365 9 месяцев назад

Definitely want to read the nature books!

@melissamybubbles6139 9 месяцев назад

Muppets in Moscow sounds perfect for me. I have a friend whose father is dying and he asked me to bring good stories when we go out to lunch after Thanksgiving. I think he'd like to hear about when Sesame Street visited the former Soviet Union. When Books Went to War by Molly Guptill Manning also sounds good.

@angelaluz405 9 месяцев назад

When Books Went to War was really good!

@meljstephan 9 месяцев назад

I can't read books about climate science because it gives me existential dread

@janethansen9612 9 месяцев назад

I really need to get hold of An Immense World!!!

@socaltoobie8984 9 месяцев назад

I never realized that publishers are the ones that decide on a book title?? 🤔 I guess they feel like they are better at making a compelling title? Compelling being subjective, clearly!
