Overview

So I am not at all used to reading non-fiction in my leisure time. I decided to maybe change that. Also, something I noticed: A lot of commonly perused non-fiction is by -surely good at their job- cis male authors. Therefore, the author would be a good consideration points.
I hope this challenge will nudge me- and maybe you- in a different direction. In honor of a brilliant musical the number of prompts will be 6.
You know, baby steps.

Note: All types and formats of books allowed: Novel, novella, audiobook etc.
