Preferably on kindle so I can read them when getting DC to sleep.

Feel like I haven't read a good book for ages and can't be bothered with fiction. I want to read facts/autobiography/travelogue type of thing.

I love those too! Read them end-to end in France (FIL lives in that area)

I have been reading a lot of Non-fiction. My favourite areas are Mountaineering and crime (forensic psychology):

The Fact of a Body (a bit harrowing but beautifully-written)
Into Thin Air (Everest disaster)
How Not to be a Boy (Robert Webb Autobiog - funny and touching)
Chase your Shadow: The Trials of Oscar Pistorious (fascinating insight into his psychology)
Behind the Door (slightly different perspective on OP)
No Way Down (K2 disaster)
Buried in the Sky (K2 disaster from Sherpas' perspective)
The People vs OJ Simpson
Revolutionary Ride (woman motor bikes through Iran)
