if you need to laugh right now …

sometimes nonfiction gains a reputation for being dense and academic, but there’s SO much levity and humor within the genre, too!

these are two super different books - one is a collection of personal essays and the other is a nature book all about trees - but they both made me smile from ear to ear.

In a world where nonfiction often carries the weight of seriousness, it’s refreshing to discover books that inject humor and relatability into their narratives. For instance, "Quietly Hostile" by Samantha Irby offers a collection of essays that are hilariously vulnerable, weaving wit with genuine insights about life, making it a perfect companion for those looking to relate and laugh. Irby’s sharp observations, dubbed by The New York Times as ‘wildly, seditiously funny’, capture the chaotic essence of everyday life. On the lighter side, "Must Love Trees" by Tobin Mitnick takes readers on an unconventional journey into the world of trees, portraying them with personality and charm that leap off the pages. This unique guide introduces readers to the importance of trees in our ecosystems while keeping the tone enjoyable and engaging. It showcases how nonfiction can go beyond just facts and figures, offering readers a playful take on nature that’s sure to spark interest and laughter. These two books exemplify that nonfiction doesn’t have to be dense or heavy; it can be a source of joy and laughter. Whether you’re looking for essays that resonate with your own chaotic experiences or a whimsical exploration of nature, these selections are sure to deliver that much-needed smile. With the growing trend of humorous nonfiction, readers can confidently explore new genres that brighten their day!
