As every year, a bunch of really cool bloggers are co-hosting Nonfiction November.
Here is the topic for Week 1 (Oct. 28 to Nov. 1):
YOUR YEAR IN NONFICTION
Hosted by Julz of Julz Reads
Take a look back at your year of nonfiction and reflect on the following questions:
What was your favorite nonfiction read of the year?
Do you have a particular topic you’ve been attracted to more this year?
What nonfiction book have you recommended the most?
What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
Here is the recap of the nonfiction I have read (the links will send you to my review when it’s posted).
So far, I have read or listened to 17 nonfiction, nice, compared to only 11 last year. And I plan to read at least 3 more before the end of the year.
Here are the titles:
