Nonfiction November 2019: Fiction/Nonfiction Pairings


It's Week 2 of Nonfiction November and this week's topic is hosted by Sarah at Sarah's Book Shelves!  I think this week is my favorite of all the themes of Nonfiction November - fiction/nonfiction book pairings!  I was so inspired by this topic during my first time doing #NonficNov that I now regularly try to incorporate it into my blogging and book reviews during the rest of the year.  So, here are the pairings I came up with!

















Have you read any of these?

  1. I must admit, How to be Parisian sounds like it could be fun!

    1. I'll be honest, I was disappointed with it, but that could just be me, it had pretty high ratings on Goodreads.

  2. What a fun challenge. I love trying to find relationships between books and these fiction/non-fiction pairings are fantastic. I know I wouldn't have been able to do this. I have read the Strohm book. She's a favorite of mine, and I like that we got to "see" a bit of Paris when I read that book

  16. You managed to find something for every book. Well done. Beatriz Williams seems to write stories that lend themselves to a nice pairing, I think.
