Here is the topic for Week 5 (Nov 29-Dec 3):
NEW TO MY TBR
Hosted by Jaymi at The OC Book Girl
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.
17 (!!) of them told me I should really read them! I listed them here below in the alphabetical order of the book blogs where I found them. Congratulations to Erin at Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.., who managed to add 3 books on my TBR!!
Thanks to all who participated, it’s always an event rich in many discoveries.
It was also great to post everyday on Instagram thanks to Jaymi who organized the #nonfictionbookparty

That is so cool! I love the sound of the ones from JulzReads.

Yes, they all sound so good. Have you read any good nonfiction recently?

I have not. Although I did just order a book called the Simulation Hypothesis (the author half seriously I think posits that we’re living in a simulated reality) and while I don’t buy that ha ha I am curious enough about his arguments to read the book. 🙂

OMG, how spooky and intriguing! You got me, added to my TBR!!

I had to laugh when I read that you’d *only* added 17 books! You and I added some of the same books—Nature Journal, Visual History, Place in the Woods—but I also second the recommendations of What It’s Like to Be a Bird and World of Wonders.

Well, 17 is very few compared to your list, lol.

Wow! I feel so excited that you added so many that I read! I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did! And looking at your list, I see one that I missed – the Nature Journal book. Gotta add that to mine now! Lol.

I hope you enjoy them! I’m currently reading a book about the history of Facebook, and I’m starting to agree with deleting social media accounts! They know way too much about me.

I’m intrigued, what’s the title?

Impressive and interesting list. I must look for Muriel Barbery. I love her ‘Hedgehog’ book.
LikeLike
Yes, great writer. I also enjoyed Gourmet Rhapsody (https://wordsandpeace.com/2011/06/16/my-review-47-gourmet-rhapsody/), though it’s definitely not as good as The Elegance of the Hedgehog

World of Wonders is on my list too. It looks fascinating!

Nice adds! I’ve added a few but not too many, however all these posts are leading me to books I didn’t catch the first time, so I’m not publishing my post until the end of the week!

Ah, great idea! In fact, I’m so afraid to add many more that I would have missed that on purpose I decided to post early, lol
