I have gotten into reading non-fiction and although I normally stick to specific genres, I wanted to expand my reading habits and was thinking of looking at books that were shortlisted/longlisted for non-fiction literary prizes as starting points.
I have looked at some books from the Baillee Gifford prize, such as 'Finest Hotel in Kabul', which has been a lovely read. I thought that the quality was really high and that it was a good choice for the longlist as selected by the judges.
Are there any non-fiction book prizes you trust, or use to help inform your next reading choices?

Baillie Gifford is a good one, yes. Others I follow are the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Orwell Prize. A good way to find out more of these prizes is to pick a non fiction book you love and see what prizes it was nominated for.
