It's time to start celebrating Nonfiction November! The first week is hosted by Heather at Based on a True Story and is all about our year in nonfiction. At the time I'm writing this, I've read 9 nonfiction books this year, and they've all been 4 stars or higher! My taste in nonfiction tends to be all over the place - so many things interest me, and here are some of my favorites of the year:
My goals for Nonfiction November are to see what everyone else is reading, find some interesting titles for my TBR, and to celebrate the genre of nonfiction! Here are some I'd like to read this month:
What are some of your nonfiction highlights from this year?
I loved Indifferent Stars Above so much!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good, although hard to read at times!
DeleteYou are obviously good at choosing nonfiction you like if every nonfiction book you read last year was a book you rated four stars or more.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I try! Although I think I'm going to DNF one of my current reads...
DeleteWell, you read 9 more non-fiction books than me. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks!
DeleteThanks for sharing your year of nonfiction, I love how eclectic your selections are.
ReplyDeleteHappy Nonfiction November
Thank you!
DeleteHaving served in the U.S. Coast Guard, I love a good sea story. Having enjoyed books about raising the Hunley, the Confederate Civil War submarine, and the exploration to find the remains of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I'm looking forward to reading The Ship Beneath the Ice. Happy reading to you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Karen! Thank you!
DeleteI also enjoyed Indifferent Stars and Nuclear War was pretty much terrifying.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I enjoyed Nuclear War but glad it's over!
DeleteI've read one book (fiction) about the Donner party and think The Indifferent Stars Above is something I'd enjoy. My husband has read about Shackleton's voyage, but I never have. The Ship Beneath the Ice might be one for me to try. I tend to read more memoirs than history books, but both of these sound intriguing. Nuclear War might be too scary. We watched A House of Dynamite last week and it was very disturbing!
ReplyDeleteThe Shackleton story is fascinating!
DeleteI’ve added The Ship Beneath the Ice and Women in the Valley of Kings to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Enjoy!
DeleteI had not heard of any of these before today. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI haven't read any non-fiction this year so far, but I always want to try reading more of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's something I enjoy but I do have to be conscious about it!
DeleteI liked The Indifferent Stars Above. I'll have to look for The Ship Beneath the Ice.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really like it, Aj!
DeleteWhat a great collection of books! I might like Women in the Valley of the Kings -- that's not history that I've heard about before.
ReplyDeleteNice work! I'll look for at least the Kennedy book--maybe more.
