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
Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books wants to know what we're reading. I'm only too happy to oblige!
I love weeks like last week when I get a lot of reading done. Especially when each of the books have 300-odd pages!
Books completed in the last week
The Kitchen Daughter by Jael McHenry: This was a sweet read! It was my first experience reading a fiction title with a foodie background, complete with recipes. The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer: I actually enjoyed this more than I expected to. I've been saying this all day yesterday - Meg Wolitzer's writing is so beautiful that even if this book was missing in plot and characters (which it wasn't), I would have still remained hooked to the book.

Books on my nightstand
In a sense, I'm glad April is winding up. I've had a strenuous reading month and I'm eager to read for pleasure next month. Reading new and upcoming titles is cool, but that is stressful too, you know?
The Coffins of Little Hope by Timothy Schaffert: I haven't been able to read much of this last week, because of other books calling my name, but I still have just 40% left in the book, so I should be done in the next couple of days.
Far to go by Alison Pick: I know my review of this book isn't up until Wednesday and I still have half the book to go, but can I gush already? It's not often that I come across a book that hooks me from the first page and makes me sure that this is a WOW book even before I know where the book is going, but this one is IT.
The Long Goodbye by Meghan O'Rourke: There's going to be a lot of death and grief to handle here, so I hope I'm up to it. Still, I've heard good things about this one. I only hope it grips me quickly because I will have just a couple of days to devote to this one.
