    I love these pairings. I've been trying to read more nonfiction but I always seem to mostly confine myself to biographies. I forget there are so many other interesting possibilities out there. That Darcy book really appeals to me.

    I'm a person who enjoys reading both fiction and nonfiction about the same topic. The two Mr. Darcy books sound especially intriguing.

      I always enjoy seeing how much "real" information gets incorporated into the fiction work!

    I don't read non-fiction, but I love this challenge. How fun, and Kiss My Cupcake was on your list (I loved that book)

    I love this post idea, fiction/nonfiction pairings are so fun! The Lieutenant's Nurse seems really interesting, and it's nonfiction pair seems really informative.

    I was not aware of a Mr. Darcy nonfiction. Very interesting. A must read I think.

    I love the Pearl Harbor pairing---I really enjoyed Ackerman's novel and will have to read the non-fiction book to go along with it. I also love the Kennedy pairing! Great picks!

    These are great pairings! Although I'm more of a fan of Captain Wentworth than Mr. Darcy. :-)

    Nice pairings! I particularly liked the Kennedy edition. I agree--my favorite of the prompts so far, and I sort of do this often any way on my blog.

    Enjoy the rest of Nonfiction November.
