I am reading Talking to my Country by Stan Grant, I know it is part autobiography, but would it also fit in the Social History category do you think?

I have added “Keeping Hope Alive” to my TBR list for the medical category as it looks like my kind of book.

Good to see Dear Life here, it’s a thought-provoking memoir for sure. I can also recommend This Is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay – its based on diaries he kept while a junior doctor in gynecology and obstetrics. Hilarious at times but also has some serious messaging about how badly doctors are treated by their employers

So, a question. I’m reading a memoir by a young person with nonverbal autism. While not technically a medical condition, would I be able to slot it in there? No worries if not.

It might be a little bit of a stretch but it’s up to you, it sounds like it would work for language though.
