Much appreciated ….but I enjoy self-reliance. I believe the best way you learn is by yourself.

I’m all for self-learning myself, but when languages are concerned, tips coming from native speakers have always been a plus for me as a learner. Bonne chance dans votre apprentissage de ma langue !

That helps, especially if tons of books stay forever on your TBR. One day you are like, why on earth did I add that book?

So happy you found some nonfiction book recommendations from my blog – yay 🙂
You have some varied and interesting titles listed here. I have actually just begun reading The Lady in the Cellar (not for Nonfiction November – as that is so nearly finished now; I’ve wrapped up my #NonFicNov reading now).
I hope you enjoy all these titles as and when you get to them.

I wish I knew where I got book suggestions so that I could thank the suggester. Perhaps a comment in Goodreads would work for me, too.

that’s definitely a convenient and fast way to do it

One of the reasons I love this prompt so much is that it shows me how many great posts and books I missed! Only one of the books on your list is familiar to me, which is so exciting. Definitely recommend Deborah Blum!

I know, I added nonfiction books from this prompt, though I thought I had visited all the posts all along the month!! Thanks for confirmation on Blum!
