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!
The summer months sure are winding down fast, even if there's no sign of the heat abating yet. It's time to start looking at where the reading this year stands and if any of the lofty goals I made at the start of the year are still making sense to me.

Books on my nightstand
It feels great to remove books from my nightstand when I haven't been to them in a while, else all that book-peer pressure can be quite debilitating. Of course, for every book I remove from my desk, another five jump in, so maybe that's not such a good thing.
Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman: This month, I'm hoping to get to the ARCs that I still have to read. My next "scheduled" (tour or not) ARC is in September, so I'm hoping to thin out my ARC list before then. I'm starting with this book, which has so far been getting mixed reviews, so I'm hoping it works for me.
Naked by David Sedaris: I'm on the last disc of this audiobook. Audio doesn't work for me because I don't have any lengthy commute time in my car. Plus, I try not to turn on the car A/C, so with the roar of the wind, I like some "quiet" in the car. Still, I should hopefully be done with this funny book this week.

I know what you mean about the TBR pile. I worry sometimes that my nightstand will collapse under the weight...
Have a great week!

Here is mine
I've been so busy having fun with my kids and doing homework, that I've hardly taken any time to read. Come see what I did finish and why I'll be reading even less this week!
