Recently we asked BookBrowse's subscribers to rate their favorite books of the year. Many thousands of votes were cast. Here, in no particular order, are the Top 5 Nonfiction Books for 2015.
Next week we'll announce the top Young Adult books; then the top Fiction Books; and finally, in early December, the 2015 Award Winners.
Unlike other popular awards where the most publicized books usually pocket the prizes, BookBrowse's process is more discerning giving the little guy as much room to win as the big boys. You can read how we do this here.
