This year I’m returning to Nonfiction November, one of my favorite blogging events. This event is hosted by Leann @ ShelfAware, Katie @ Doing Dewey, Julie @ Julz Reads, and Rennie @ What’s Nonfiction to discuss our favorite nonfiction reads of the year. The first question comes from Leann: Take a look back at your year of nonfiction and…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is ten books I loved that I haven’t reviewed. I don’t review nearly as many books as I read, and often the more I love a book, the harder it is to review it well. Some books almost demand to speak for themselves. So…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, gives me a chance to talk about my favorite authors. When I thought about which authors I’ve read the most, I decided to eliminate authors from this list that write books in series, because I may have read a lot of those authors’…
I’m so happy it’s finally summer! This year, I’ve been avoiding TBR lists and trying to take some of the pressure off of what and how I read. But I’ll make an exception for the 20 Books of Summer Challenge, hosted by Cathy at 746books.com, because it’s a pretty laid back challenge and summer feels…
I love Nonfiction November because I learn about so many interesting new books. My favorite part is “Be the Expert” week, where bloggers suggest favorite nonfiction on a particular topic (my post here on books relating to U.S. immigration). This week’s topic is what I added this year to my TBR (hosted by Rennie of…
Gabrielle Malcolm has written a book about a topic that will appeal to many readers: what is it about Mr. Darcy? More specifically, why does the love story between Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy resonate with so many people, over so many years? Malcolm begins with the impact of Colin Firth in a wet, white…
This week’s Nonfiction November topic is hosted by Katie at Doing Dewey, and the subject is to talk about nonfiction books on a specific topic (“Be the Expert/Ask the Experts/Become the Expert”). I’ve been reading a lot this year about immigration, because it’s such an important topic to understand right now. So here are some…
This month is Nonfiction November, a celebration of all things nonfiction. I’ve read some fantastic nonfiction this year and I’m proud of myself for reading more nonfiction than I used to. I enjoy this event because I get so many good nonfiction recommendations for next year. Each week will be a topic hosted by a different blog. This…
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s topic is books I’ve been avoiding, and why. To answer this question, I looked at the books that have been on my Goodreads TBR the longest. Based on that list, here are the five types of books I’ve tagged as wanting to read, but haven’t…
I really like the 20 Books of Summer challenge, hosted by 746 Books, because it keeps me focused on a specific list of books rather than reading whatever comes my way. This summer, I wanted to read more books I owned. I always feel pressured to read library books, because I have to give them…
Twenty Books of Summer is back! It will run from June 3 through August, and basically the challenge is to make a list of 20 books and read those books over the next three months. This year I decided at least 10 of the books need to be ones I already own. The reason is that I’ve…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is ten books on our Spring TBR list. I have three ARCs, and I’m particularly excited to read Sally Rooney: Trust Exercise by Susan Choi Normal People by Sally Rooney The Farm by Joanne Ramos I need to make a bigger dent in my…
