The Appeal of Non-Fiction

January 05, 20261 min read

Whether you are a fan or not, non-fiction is more appealing to most people. While fiction is fun, there is an appeal to true stories, histories or real happenings. That appeal is because people usually know of the person, the decade or the event and that puts them into a feeling of "being there" or "living it".\

Memoirs and Biographies seem to take the top prize usually because a famous person wrote about their life or was written about by a close friend or family member.

Historical events or decades remind people who lived during the time, what happened and how it shaped what would become, while teaching those who weren't just how significant it affected how life is today.

True life adventures or coming of ages stories are also very popular. They give people a view of a persons travel, growth and how they came out the other side a better feeling person or better version of themselves.

We have a lot of wonderful non-fiction books ranging from memoirs and biographies to true life tales and self help. Check out our list today and take home a new story to cherish for a lifetime!
