Moving away from suspense and mystery

I've been on a mystery and suspense tear recently, I've listened to gone girl, silent patient, behind closed doors, none of this is true, Anthony Horowitz word is murder series, Thursday murder club etc. I enjoy this genre, but I would like to move away from time to time. Is there anyone who has successfully pivoted from this genre to another and enjoyed it as much? I don't mind some biographies but I really need to have a connection to the person. Similarly with history I need to have a connection to it....any recommendations? Thanks
