It’s time for Nonfiction November! I didn’t have time to participate last year, but am quite happy to this year. 🙂
Week 1: (Oct. 28 to Nov. 1) – Your Year in Nonfiction (Julie @ Julz Reads): Take a look back at your year of nonfiction and reflect on the following questions – What was your favorite nonfiction read of the year? Do you have a particular topic you’ve been attracted to more this year? What nonfiction book have you recommended the most? What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
I’ve read fifteen nonfiction books this year, over a variety of topics, but I’d guess there were a lot of memoirs. One of the exciting things about nonfic books is that they often include references to other books, which I sometimes end up adding to my TBR. It’s fun when a book allows you to develop a specific interest, and then gives you some other reading material to try out!
Some of my favorites this year:
American Predator was a very recent read that absolutely blew me away.
What Doctors Feel discussed doctors’ emotions and how they impact patient care.
Sex at Dawn took a different perspective on human sexuality than one usually sees.
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark was a great albeit heartbreaking read about the Golden State Killer.
Evicted shed light on the absolutely unreal housing system in America today.
Throughout Nonfiction November, I’m hoping to find some more nonfiction books that draw my attention (not that my TBR needs anything added to it) and am also looking forward to checking out what other bloggers have to say. Let me know if you’ll be participating in Nonfiction November, and what some of your best nonfic reads have been this year!
I love when one book leads you on to another one too. 🙂 So glad you’re taking part in Nonfiction November this year!!
Sex at Dawn sounds intriguing!
