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
I seem to have had a good couple of weeks in books. It feels good to read and know that I still enjoy it as much as I always did. Currently, I have seven books waiting to be reviewed, and I'm slowly beginning to knock those out of the backlog.
This weekend, I started reading How to be a Good Wife by Emma Chapman. It's one fast book - the comparisons of this book with Gone Girl and Before I Go to Sleep is what intrigued me initially, but I hope it is less like the latter than it seems to be hinting so far. Chapman's book holds a lot of mystery and gives you the feeling that something is not quite right with this picture but you're not yet sure where to place your bets.
Today, I'll begin listening to The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. This is one of those nonfiction titles I've heard plenty about but never wanted to read because I don't read nonfiction well. But I've been having great success with nonfiction on audio, making books like these more accessible to me. There are plenty of discs on this audiobook to keep me busy for a good long period.
Next in the list
I have three good books lined up after How to be a Good Wife. Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane is top on my list. I've only read one Gaiman book previously (Coraline), which didn't impress me much. But I'm hoping this one will change that opinion. The other two titles are Always Watching by Chevy Stevens and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.

1. The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald
2. Can you Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
3. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
4. In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson
5. The Boy Who Could See Demons by Carolyn Jess-Cooke
6. The Baby-Sitters Club graphic series by Raina Telgemeier
