This is the last week of Nonfiction November - this may only be my second time actually following through for all four weeks of this event. Which is great - because I discovered some amazing blogs and several excellent nonfiction titles this month. Doing Dewey is hosting the week and she's asking - 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! I picked up a ton of recommendations this month - these six are the ones I am most looking forward to reading. Pandemic Solidarity by Marina Sitrin and Rebecca Solnit - discovered over at Monika's Lovely Bookshelf - she has several similar books recommended in her post, and I'll admit I TBR'd almost all of them. Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth - Unsolicited Feedback has several other books on this topic but this one in particular caught my eye. I Have Something to Tell You by Chasten Buttigieg - thi
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.
Books completed last week
- The Help by Kathryn Stockett
- The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch (Review coming up soon!)
- Open Season by Linda Howard (Review coming up soon!)
Unfinished
- The Chopin Manuscript by Jeffery Deaver and 14 other writers: I decided to give up on this, since after 1.5 hours of audio, it still was not holding my interest. I'm sorry to not put on more effort on this, but maybe I'll give it a try some other time.
I am currently reading
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien:
This is a re-read that I am doing for the LOTR Readalong. I totally LOVE this series and plan to watch the movie after finishing this read. 
White Oleander by Janet Fitch:
I've heard this is depressing. I just started it a while back and so far the book is very interesting. I am reading this with a pen-pal, Cheryl. 
Liar by Justine Larbalestier:
I've read more controversies regarding this book's cover issue than reviews, and that's pretty sad, so to speak. I just saw this audio book available, and decided to grab it right away (Result of my new plan to be more impulsive and less obsessive). 
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs:
The rest of the group with whom I am reading this book already completed it at the start of this month. I had to renew this at the library once since it was due last week. I'll hopefully be starting this over the coming weekend.

Happy reading!
