Agreed! Non fiction enhances fiction in many cases. I'm reading the Leo Demidov trilogy (Child 44) atm which is set in the Stalin era, Khrushchev era, covers the Hungarian revolution, Soviet-Afghan war ect ect which all actually happened, so I'm going to go back and get some context which I wish I had before I started reading them.
I have never understood why people find non-fiction boring, how can something that educates and informs on the real world, real people, history etc be boring?
yes! bring on the nonfiction. I believe there is a nonfiction Renaissance happening on BookTube and I'm super excited to be a part of it. The book on insects sounds interesting, especially since I did a year of graduate work in entomology before switching to French. It was my childhood dream to be an entomologist, but I realized that it wasn't for me.
I love the fact that you are recommending non-fiction books! It just feels so good to my brain to switch between fiction and non-fiction constantly haha Keep up the great work I love your style and work
Thanks! We're seeing more and more nonfiction in the community these days. I know it'll never be as popular as fiction, but it's still good to see it highlighted more frequently.
I am fascinated with Russia! One of my favorite TH-camrs is Russian and I was so inspired by her that attempted to learn the language (I am still learning but I am struggling immensely lol). I am so glad you shared those books because I will be looking into them! Also, I just want to say, I love your channel! I have found so many new books I cannot wait to read. Thank you so much, you have gained a subscriber! I love listening to you talk about books!
When you say Non-fiction, we stop everything we are doing and rush to see your video. We end dancing wild with the Squirrels in the forest of hapiness... Pure happiness...
Olive, you have become one of my top favorite booktubers!! This selection of books is right up my alley in non-fiction! I have a feeling my book wishlist is going to significantly expand thanks to you 😄I am so happy to have found your channel and I will be binge watching all your videos this weekend! Love your name btw! Looking forward to getting to know you more and see more videos! 😃 📚
Ooh The Storytelling Animal sounds very interesting! Storytelling, whether in written form or orally, gives us such an amazing insight into history and culture, so I would love to read more about it. :)
Rachel Rae' haha I'll save you the trouble - it's a month long reading challenge here on booktube that I co-host. This year will be our third year doing it - if you look through my catalog of videos you'll see some about the challenge/books I recommended & read for it 😊
Fantastic haul, Olive! I want to read all of them, especially the biology/animals ones. The book about the birds sounds so interesting. I hope you're having a wonderful day 😊
Thank you! I'm discovering that nonfiction discussing the natural world is my favorite type of nonfiction. I hope you're having a wonderful day as well! :D
Mad Madge sounds so good, as do the Catherine the Great bio and the geisha book! I need to get back into biographies. Thanks for always featuring books that are interesting- I just love biographies and anthropology-esque books.
I've never seen the hardback edition of The Book of Barely Imagined Beings before. I absolutely adore that book; in fact I bought another copy for my dad for fathers day this year and have been planning to do a video about it :) I loved this video and now need all of the books you mentioned in it
Love this video!! It is so refreshing to watch a video on non-fiction and I completely agree it is not exposed enough on Booktube. I would love to watch another video of yours about non-fiction. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! I'm a big lover of nonfiction - I have plenty of videos in my back catalog on nonfiction and there will be plenty in my future (especially in November since I co-host Nonfiction November here on booktube)!
*grabby hands* give me ALL THE NONFICTION! The storytelling animal sounds fantastic. And all those covers look fantastic, I mean my goodness the water books could just be framed. ALL THE PUNS!
I can't wait to hear what you think when you read all of these! I added a few to My tbr but i feel like i should wait til i hear what you think before attempting to read all of them. Love your hauls!
Yessss!!! I'm looking for some good non-fiction recommendations to listen to on audiobook during my new commute! Many of the ones I'm most excited about are on hoopla...The Genius of Birds, The Storytelling Animal, Wicked Bugs, The Tibetan Book of the Dead.... I'm so excited to go to work now lol. Please keep the non-fic recs coming :)
You are SUCH an inspiration when it comes to nonfiction! (predictably, the Margaret Cavendish/Catherine the Great books are the ones that most caught my eye)
I have a complicated relationship with birds lol. On the one hand, I love pictures/drawings of them. I have a shower curtain with birds on it that is so cute and reminds me of spring. On the other hand, birds in real life freak me out, especially geese. My neighborhood is full of them lol. They seem mean.
Nonfiction is my favorite!! So excited to see this type of haul on booktube. I'm not normally about bugs, but Wicked Bugs sounds so intriguing! I got so excited to see the books on Russia! All of them are now officially on my TBR. :)
wow-the covers have done a leap in evolution!! The biggest thing with non-fiction that I observe is generally it's been terrible as far as cover art goes-not really enticing you-I'mkeen to start and these sound just the ticket! thank you
Since the first Nonfiction November I participated in, I'm hooked with non-fiction - I was so excited for this bookhaul and of course many of them are on my soon to buy list :)
I think it is very good that you "promote" non-fiction on booktube. There are so many very interesting non-fiction books that are just as fun to read as fiction books and you even learn from them! I have a book recommendation for you, in case you haven't heard of it, maybe you'll be interested in it, Limonov: The Outrageous Adventures of the Radical Soviet Poet who became a bum in New York, a Sensation in France and a Political Antihero in Russia (what a long title in English, in French it is just Limonov!).
WOW I love this haul, I especially love the nature themed books XD also I'm super interested in The Tibetan Book of the Dead! look forward to your thoughts about these books! And as an accounting paper, I really enjoyed the most in school when I write Taxation research papers. They are so much fun to research and learn - tho my friends at school didn't believe me lol
All of these books sound so interesting! I want to read the one about the barely imagined animals now :D Actually it was you who showed me that nonfiction can be fun with the nonfiction november ;D And now I try to include more nonfiction in my reading! Xx
Eastern Philosophy is so interesting, there's so many topics to explore. Tibetan Book of the Dead is great. You could also go into some of the mythology. The Story of Tibet: Conversations with the Dalai Lama by Thomas Laird is also great. The Dali Lama is telling the history of Tibet based on their own branch of Buddhist thought. It's a fascinating take on history. Oh.... oh.... non-fiction rocks!!! Love those Russian History books also! Especially. uni press ones. :P Fighting the non-fiction fight!
I've been subscribed to you for a while now and I love your videos! I've always felt a little nervous about commenting, but I just HAD to let you know that I read Margaret the First on your recommendation. And I ADORED it! Thank you so much! What a wonderful book about a fascinating woman. I may have squealed when you hauled Mad Madge! Haha! Inspired by your love for Russia, I recently bought the Romanovs by Simon Sebag Montefiore and hope to get to it fairly soon. All these books you've hauled sound fascinating and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them.
This video made me want to pick up a non fiction book! I've really gotten into non fiction over the past year and have quite a few unread on my shelf, I must pick one up soon. The Book of Barely Imagined Beings sounds beautiful and fascinating, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I'd love to see a whole video on the Masha Gessen book once you've read it. Your thesis topic is something that personally interests me a lot and I'd love to hear more about it!
Such a wonderful eclectic selection. I've been looking at the snow leopard so will be interested to see if it's a good one. I've found that non fiction has rated highly in my five star reads so far this year 😀
All of those books look and sound amazing! I spent some time engaged in a personal study of Buddhism, and I truly enjoyed The Snow Leopard, though I've only dipped in and out of The Book of the Dead.
I've just recently finished two nonfiction books which is a feat considering I haven't read nonfiction in forever it feels like. The first was "In Order To Live" by Yeonmi Park which was a biography about her life in North Korea and her escape from there. If you haven't checked it out-you should. The second was "Cannibalism" which I have you to thank for .
Chasing Aphrodite sounds fascinating... and have they not started making Naked Hardbacks more and more beautiful! My goodness... I need to go out and buy some more non fiction.
Ow dear! I looove this haul! Especially russian part as always :D I think that if we could somehow combine our russian oriented part of home libraries we could accumulate majority of books about that fascinating land :D That's so comforting to know people who are as obsessed about same topic as me. Currently I'm inhaling lots of adventure Syberia books and that makes me plan a Syberia trip in my head like a maniac :D ;D
So many great sounding books! The one about water, the one about Margaret Cavendish, so many animal ones! Excited to hear what you think about these in the future.
I also love nonfiction and have a lot of it in my collection. I am currently reading *Akhnaten: Egypt's False Prophet* by Nicholas Reeves; and am perusing *1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die: A Listener's Life List* by Tom Moon; *Ancient Inventions* by Peter James and Nick Thorpe; and Read This! Handpicked Favorites from America's Indie Bookstores* by Hans Weyandt.
I would love to know how she thinks about the dramatic changes to Russia over the past year of war. I personally would never have believed it could have happened and I don't think any of us know how it will end. There is a quote that says something about wishing your enemies to live through interesting times. I think this passage of time sums that very well.
I just read a really good nature book called 'An otter's tale' by Simon Cooper. Found it a bit harrowing in places but that's nature isn't it, would recommend though xx
I am glad I found a booktuber who likes nonfiction and talks about it as well. :') I am also extremely happy that I started this year with an inspiring read. Have you read this book - ankitataneja.com/book-reviews/unposted-letter-by-mahatria-ra/
the most difficult thing for me to do is the buy a fiction book....or get into a fiction book. there are many exceptions but...it's not my first pick...ever
Just out of curiosity...are there booktube channels that concentrate mainly on non-fiction. I love all varieties of non-fiction, but haven't found a booktube channel that does more than mention it once in a blue moon. If anyone knows of a non-fiction channel, please let me know. Thanks! (and I am totally putting these books on my wish list!)

There is such a lack of nonfiction on booktube, I'm glad you are there to fill a bit of that hole. They are my favorite hauls!
Agreed! Non fiction enhances fiction in many cases.

I agree in that there is a lack of non-fiction on book-tube.
I would like to see a book haul of reference books.
I have never understood why people find non-fiction boring, how can something that educates and informs on the real world, real people, history etc be boring?
Quite agree!
Oh my gosh so much non-fiction! What have you done to my wishlist aha?!
Guess I'm doing my job right, hehe!
yes! bring on the nonfiction. I believe there is a nonfiction Renaissance happening on BookTube and I'm super excited to be a part of it. The book on insects sounds interesting, especially since I did a year of graduate work in entomology before switching to French.

"The Book of Barely Imagined Beings" sounds so good! I love your non-fiction hauls, Olive, you always manage to sneak something onto my wishlist ^^
My Amazon shopping basket just got so much bigger...again
Nonfiction is almost all I read anymore. We need more of this on booktube. Lovely haul by the way.
Thanks! We're seeing more and more nonfiction in the community these days. I know it'll never be as popular as fiction, but it's still good to see it highlighted more frequently.
I love that you describe having a “craving” for books!
I am fascinated with Russia! One of my favorite TH-camrs is Russian and I was so inspired by her that attempted to learn the language (I am still learning but I am struggling immensely lol). I am so glad you shared those books because I will be looking into them!
Also, I just want to say, I love your channel! I have found so many new books I cannot wait to read. Thank you so much, you have gained a subscriber! I love listening to you talk about books!

Ooh The Storytelling Animal sounds very interesting! Storytelling, whether in written form or orally, gives us such an amazing insight into history and culture, so I would love to read more about it. :)
Nonfiction is almost all I read so I appreciate your channel covering new releases
Yes! #TeamNonfiction Bringing more non-fiction to BookTube was one of the reasons I joined. Thanks for making this video and helping me grown my TBR!
#TeamNonfiction all the way! Hopefully you'll join in with us for Nonfiction November! :)
*runs to google nonfiction November*
Rachel Rae' haha I'll save you the trouble - it's a month long reading challenge here on booktube that I co-host. This year will be our third year doing it - if you look through my catalog of videos you'll see some about the challenge/books I recommended & read for it 😊
I'm in for sure!
Terrific book haul, with a few titles for my kid's upcoming birthday! Thanks!
Fantastic haul, Olive! I want to read all of them, especially the biology/animals ones. The book about the birds sounds so interesting. I hope you're having a wonderful day 😊
Thank you! I'm discovering that nonfiction discussing the natural world is my favorite type of nonfiction. I hope you're having a wonderful day as well! :D
Have been binge watching your nonfiction videos! Have sooo many books o my TBR now. I'm excited to read Animals strike curious poses.
Mad Madge sounds so good, as do the Catherine the Great bio and the geisha book! I need to get back into biographies. Thanks for always featuring books that are interesting- I just love biographies and anthropology-esque books.
I've never seen the hardback edition of The Book of Barely Imagined Beings before. I absolutely adore that book; in fact I bought another copy for my dad for fathers day this year and have been planning to do a video about it :)

Wow what a great collection! I wouldn't know where to start! Enjoy 😊
That describes me every time I look at my personal library, haha!
*grabby hands* give me ALL THE NONFICTION!
The storytelling animal sounds fantastic.
And all those covers look fantastic, I mean my goodness the water books could just be framed.
ALL THE PUNS!
I think I have commented on Lessons in Chemistry before. IMO this book has something for everyone!
Yes to a storygraph video!
Finally! A Non-fiction Book Tuber. Bonus, A beautiful young woman with an equally beautiful voice.
I can't wait to hear what you think when you read all of these! I added a few to
My tbr but i feel like i should wait til i hear what you think before attempting to read all of them. Love your hauls!
Thanks! Given my frequent hankerings for nonfiction, I'll probably be picking up a bunch of them up very soon!
Sooooooooo I need the insect and animal books asap. They sound so wonderful. Adding to my tbr, thanks Olive!
Yessss!!! I'm looking for some good non-fiction recommendations to listen to on audiobook during my new commute!

Best book haul ever!!! All the books sound amazing. I'll have to rewatch it again to write down the titles of the books :))
wow-the covers have done a leap in evolution!! The biggest thing with non-fiction that I observe is generally it's been terrible as far as cover art goes-not really enticing you-I'mkeen to start and these sound just the ticket! thank you
The Joy of Tax deserves an award for that title. I almost want to pick it up just for that!
Since the first Nonfiction November I participated in, I'm hooked with non-fiction - I was so excited for this bookhaul and of course many of them are on my soon to buy list :)
I don't care what you say, I still don't understand how you can be so good at this! Hah! Also, these books look amazing!

Non-fiction is awesome! Loved this book haul. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on all of these, they all sound so interesting!
Chasing Aphrodite sounds fascinating I would like to pick that one up!

Amen, to the title of this video! Lots of interesting titles here, I'm really itching to pick up The Genius of Birds especially!
Eastern Philosophy is so interesting, there's so many topics to explore. Tibetan Book of the Dead is great. You could also go into some of the mythology.

Oh!! I started reading The Romanovs and love it to bits! It's so well written so far. And it's such a beautiful book, just for looks ^.^
Biblio Atlas Yay! Makes me even more excited!
I've read Wicked Bugs, it was interesting. I also have the Genius of Birds on my TBR, and now I've added a bunch more!

I also love nonfiction, hope you give us a lot of recommendations in the future!

+abookolive well then I hope you'll write that book someday :D
Such a wonderful eclectic selection. I've been looking at the snow leopard so will be interested to see if it's a good one. I've found that non fiction has rated highly in my five star reads so far this year 😀

It's great find someone who do this much non fiction 😂😂😂
yogeshaj yogen yaas 😁😅

That's so comforting to know people who are as obsessed about same topic as me. Currently I'm inhaling lots of adventure Syberia books and that makes me plan a Syberia trip in my head like a maniac :D ;D
Between the two of us, we'd probably have every book on Russia ever published!
I like that vision!
So many great sounding books! The one about water, the one about Margaret Cavendish, so many animal ones! Excited to hear what you think about these in the future.
I'm so addicted to nonfiction about animals. I blame it on The Soul of an Octopus.
Woooo!!!! So many books added to my to read list. 🙀
i have the book of barely imagined beings and I've been meaning to read it for ages. Would love an update on how you found it?
The Book of Barely Imagined Beings is oh so good. I also have The Storytelling Animal on my shelf. Fingers crossed it's a good one :) x
I also love nonfiction and have a lot of it in my collection. I am currently reading *Akhnaten: Egypt's False Prophet* by Nicholas Reeves; and am perusing *1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die: A Listener's Life List* by Tom Moon; *Ancient Inventions* by Peter James and Nick Thorpe; and Read This!

Nonfiction book - movie adaptation about birds. The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession by Mark Obmasick.
Sooo many books added to my tbr
I read Wicked Bugs! It is an excellent book. I gave it 4 or 5 stars. You will love her format.
I'm really looking forward to it! So glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
I just read a really good nature book called 'An otter's tale' by Simon Cooper. Found it a bit harrowing in places but that's nature isn't it, would recommend though xx
All the love for the nonfiction!
I am glad I found a booktuber who likes nonfiction and talks about it as well. :') I am also extremely happy that I started this year with an inspiring read. Have you read this book - ankitataneja.com/book-reviews/unposted-letter-by-mahatria-ra/
@abookolive, if you enjoy books about birds, I recommend "Handbook Of Birds Of Eastern North America" by Frank M. Chapman.
My friend would like the book on Egypt.
Have you read Columbine by Dave Cullen? It pretty much taught me that everything I thought I knew about Columbine was wrong
the most difficult thing for me to do is the buy a fiction book....or get into a fiction book. there are many exceptions but...it's not my first pick...ever
Non fiction is boring? I am here wondering how do people tolerate fiction
wicked bugs sounds great!
It really does! I'm sure I'll experience the phenomena of feeling like bugs are crawling on my skin as I'm reading it, but it'll be WORTH IT.
Wonderful review 😀😀😀😀😀 thanks
I am going to read all books from this review
Hi I love non fiction I got loads. I love how you talk about them
Just out of curiosity...are there booktube channels that concentrate mainly on non-fiction. I love all varieties of non-fiction, but haven't found a booktube channel that does more than mention it once in a blue moon. If anyone knows of a non-fiction channel, please let me know. Thanks! (and I am totally putting these books on my wish list!)
im so happy I found ur channel,,I was so bored of the typical booktubers 🙄 btw im a Buddhist 😀
You should read ( autobiography of yogi ) its great
Hey, are you of a Russian origin or you simply have a flair for the Russian language, culture and history?
If my DNA results are to be believed, I have a tiny bit of Russian ancestry, but I mainly just love the country.
Then it's time to learn more Russian other than just being able to say "Da" or "Nyet" type of words :)
@@РоманОлейник-ж3о...I do know more words than that. I studied Russian for five years.
@@abookolive Отлично! Тогда почему бы тебе не попрактиковать свой русский, общаясь со мной?
