How about Drink Your Words about how I lived in a different California wine region every month for 2 years? It's more of an adventure travel book than memoir although it does include salty insights of a solo traveler.Carolyn

Captured by COVID: Deceit, Conspiracy & Death—A True StoryI might be a bit bias, but I recommend Captured by COVID. This book will take you on an emotional ride that is sure to keep your attention. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Captured by COVID is a true story that describes actual events experienced by the author. What started out as a hospital admission due to COVID evolved into a series of unimaginable events. The details of torture, abandonment, and betrayal are real.

Does anyone have any ya book recs with no spice or explicit content? Thank you!
Most definitely Hatchet. And if you or your young adult like that, then consider others of Paulsen's titles.
"All the Light We Cannot See" ends up on a lot of lists. I am currently reading it and can see why. It is truly a poetic and moving book.

Hi,
I quite enjoyed these books (kisses, hugs are mentioned, but there are no graphic descriptions):
Fantasy:
The Caraval series by Stephanie Garber and the Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson. Kisses and hugs are included, undressing is mentioned but that's it. No steamy descriptions.
Also the Izara series by Julia Dippel (Belial excluded as it includes very steamy scenes). The Cassardim series reminds me a little bit of ACOTAR by SMJ. It does include intimate scenes with dialogues but the descriptions are not graphic.
I'd recommend also some books by Emily Bold, e.g. the Stolen series, but I did not find them in English (I read them in German). I can't remember how intense some romantic scenes in the series Silver wings were, but I think they were not too graphic.
Thorn by Intisar Khanani includes zero romantic/intimate scenes though some scenes may trigger some emotions due the included violence. There is a also the free short story the Bone Knife.
Science Fiction: Chaos walking series by Patrick Ness. No intimate scenes at all except for hugs.
Hopefully there's something for you, you'll enjoy!
Some of my faves:The dictionary of lost words - Pip Williams
Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo - Douglas Stuart
Life after Life (and everything else written) by Kate Atkinson
Still life - Sara Winman
The dry and The lost man - Jane Harper
The heart's invisible furies - John Boyne
The secret history - Donna Tartt
Girl, woman, other - Bernadine Evaristo

These books are some of my favs :) and a mix of all diff genres from romance/ contemporary to thriller/ mystery. I highly recommend them all !!
OK Little Bird - At some point, we all navigate the loss and grief of a loved one, uncertain how or if we can regain a sense of normalcy to our lives ever again.OK, Little Bird is a virtual handbook, told through a memoir style, fast moving touching, laugh out loud and deeply feeling father daughter relationship. When you turn the last page, readers will find a way to feel whole again and inspired. OK, Little Bird

Yes! So good!! I can’t wait to watch the movie interpretation of it with the Fanning sisters.
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt(wonderful book despite a cover I don't really like - so touching)
The Key to Circus-Mom Highway by Allyson Rice
(LOVED this fast fun read with heart and hilarious characters - great "beach read" book)
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
(really fun mystery - also with great characters)
Those last 2 books I could see in my head like a movie as I read them! I hope they're made into films at some point. I could recommend casts for both of them! Lol
I’m currently reading The One by John Marrs and loving it so far! :)

You have great taste! Some of my favorite books. Shuggie Bain and Still life are two of the best. Except Dictionary of Lost Words - I know everyone will hate on me, but I couldn't stand that book.
-The Book Thief ( historical fiction/ tragedy)-The Picture of Dorian Grey (Classic)
-Sapiens ( nonfiction that reads like fiction)
-Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (fiction)
-Before the coffee gets cold (Heart Warmer!)
-Man's Search for Meaning (philosophy/psychology)
It's a beautiful and funny love story set in Spain with engaging characters. I couldn't put it down and I finished it in just a few hours. Not cheesy, typical or predictable at all. It was a great surprise and I felt like I was leaving my friends behind
