This one is one of the hardest categories to rank my favorites in. They are all so different! So, once again, I’m going to go with just my gut feelings about each book listed here. They are all wonderful books, for different reasons. In the end, I decided to divide them into Biography, and Everything Else.
Here are my favorite adult nonfiction books that I read in 2011:
Biography:
1. Traveling with Pomegranates, by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor
2. Little Princes, by Conor Grennan
3. Radioactive, by Lauren Redniss
4. Sex, Mom, and God, by Frank Schaeffer
5. The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon
6. Heaven Is For Real, by Todd Burpo
Other Nonfiction:

2. The Gifts of Imperfection, by Brene Brown
3. Naked Spirituality, by Brian McLaren

I have the reviews for most of these books written, just not posted yet. That will happen all in good time!
Meanwhile, Happy Reading!
