Book Club Reads - Nonfiction Book Ideas
Before we give the best book club nonfiction book discussion questions, we thought we’d share a couple of great book club suggestions for
nonfiction!
Queenie B is truly the queen of the nonfiction book reports! Lately she has come across a couple of fantastic book club reads in the nonfiction genre that she thinks your group will love.
Steve and Me by Terri Irwin is the story of the Crocodile Hunter’s Life and Death
Desperate Engagement by Marc Leepson is the story of the Civil War Battle of Monocacy. (And we interviewed Marc as well!)
Blonde Ambition by Rita Cosby is the story of Anna Nicole Smith’s tragic death.
Sage-ing While Age-ing by Shirley MacLaine is the story of her quest for spiritual growth.
There are many different types of nonfiction book club reads so these questions will aim at the general nonfiction book. We’ll indicate in (parenthesis) our nonfiction book ideas for that particular question.
- Did you admire or detest this person? Why? (Biography or Autobiography)
- What life lesson can be learned from this event or story? (General Nonfiction)
- Did the book read like a story, a newspaper article, a report, something else? Give examples. (General Nonfiction)
