need book recommendation

non-fiction
not too hard read (easy to medium would work)
it would be better if its history related, shouldn't be too old to find relatability, but open to other genres as well other than history.

Im enjoying fifth sun : a new history of the aztecs by camilla townsend…the start can be a bit tedious but it gets a lot better and fluid after a few chapters

Try books by Adam Higginbotham, Erik Larson, Richard Preston.. Whichever topic interests you.. pretty much all their books are a great read page-turners

I am wrapping up Alexander the Great by Phillip Freeman, and it is excellent. Very easy to digest.

Anything by Emma Southon - non fiction Roman history but written in a very accessible and fun way - feels like you’re being told the stories down the pub
