Here is the topic for week 5:
NEW TO MY TBR
Hosted by Katie at Doing Dewey
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
This month, I have read about all kinds of fascinating nonfiction books I didn’t know about.
But as I’m trying to limit my TBR to books I absolutely want to read, I just added 10 titles to my TBR, all related to Japan, that were recommended by awesome readers who answered my Ask the expert post.
Thanks to each of you:
Brona at Brona’s Books
Deb at Readerbuzz
Diana at Thoughts on Papyrus
Heather at Based on a True Story
Karen at BookerTalk
Katie at Doing Dewey
Liz at Adventures in reading, running and working from home
Shelleyrae at Book’d Out
Here are the books I really want to read.
I plan to read several of these in Jan-March, as part of the Japanese Literature Challenge:
If you want to see who recommended what, just look through the comments of this post.
I did add a nonfiction book on another topic:
World War I: The Rest of the Story & How It Affects You Today, (Uncle Eric #10), by Richard J. Maybury. He has a similar one on WWII and Ancient Rome.
This title was found on Carol’s blog: Journey-and-Destination

WHAT GREAT NONFICTION BOOK
HAVE YOU RECENTLY ADDED TO YOUR TBR?
Words And Peace 
Oooh, plenty of books about Japan, yes !!! The only non-fiction book I can think of wih precision because I added it to my TBR 5mns ago is The artful Dickens by John Mullan. I read John Mullan’s What matters in Austen earlier this year and loved it, so I’ll save the Dickens for when I have read all of Dickens’s novels…

That sounds like a good one. If you love Dickens, I highly recommend the biography by Tomalin: https://wordsandpeace.com/2012/01/23/review-2-2012-charles-dickes-a-life/

What a fantastic list, good idea to stick to one topic! I’m such a mental butterfly I have a hard time with that, but it can be so rewarding to really go into one area.

I like how you are focusing on one topic. Perhaps I will try to take control of my meandering brain this next year and do likewise.

I guess it’s a strategic move to prevent my TBR from exploding, or crushing down lol
