Here is the topic for week 5:
NEW TO MY TBR
Hosted by What’s Nonfiction?
It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books!
Which ones have made it onto your TBR?
Be sure to link back to the original blogger who posted about that book
Here are the nonfiction books I discovered this month and have added to my TBR.
Last year, I added 19 books in November, but as I try to reduce the height of my TBR, I have been drastic in my choices, and added only 9:
From #Nonficnov participants:
Reading With Jade:
The Wild Remedy: How Nature Heals Us – A Diary by Emma Mitchell

Thanks to all my fellow book bloggers who gave me the idea to read the books above listed. And to those who helped me reduce my TBR on birds.

Not sure if you classify this as non-fiction, but one of the best books out there today is a book by Paul T. Coughlin, and the title is FREE US FROM BULLYING. I would love to see this in all of our libraries and bookstores throughout the world. It is a magnificent new look at the topic and offers help to many across the world. artfromperry

Thanks for the recommendation. If you want to help and give more visibility to it, I highly recommend you paste a synopsis for it on its Goodreads page. Nobody is going to be interested if they don’t even know some details about the book. You can tell the author to do it, or if you are a published author, you can do it yourself.
Also, I am not sure about your hesitation about nonfiction. The book does not seem to be a novel/play, so obviously, it would be nonfiction.
