It’s the end of Nonfiction November, and Week 5, hosted by Jaymi at The OC Bookgirl, is about which books we’ve added to our TBR list. First, I took a look at my TBR post from last year, where I added Here For It, Get Well Soon, Catch and Kill, and The Body Keeps the Score. …
This week’s prompt asks about books that are “Stranger Than Fiction”, hosted by Christopher at Plucked from the Stacks. The books in this post aren’t untruthful in any way, they just tell dramatic stories that, if they were fiction, you might find hard to believe. These stories have all the elements of fiction — character development,…
This week’s prompt, hosted by The Thousand Book Project, asks you to share books on a single topic that you recommend (“be the expert”) or to look for books on a topic (“ask the expert/become the expert”).

This week’s Nonfiction November prompt comes from Julie @ Julz Reads: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. It can be a “If you loved this book, read this!” or just two titles that you think would go well together. Dopesick is an in-depth look at opioid addiction, particularly at how the…
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…
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…
