The last couple of years I’ve taken part in Nonfiction November, so although this year I haven’t read a lot of nonfiction I’ll be joining in once more.
Throughout the month of November, Katie @ Doing Dewey, Julie @ Julz Reads, Leann @Shelf Aware, and Rennie, invite you to put nonfiction at the top of your reading list with us. Each week’s prompt will be posted at that host’s blog on Monday with a link-up where you can link your post on the topic throughout the week.
This year’s schedule:
Week 1: (November 2-6) – Your Year in Nonfiction (Leann @ Shelf Aware): Take a look back at your year of nonfiction and reflect on the following questions – What was your favorite nonfiction read of the year? Do you have a particular topic you’ve been attracted to more this year? What nonfiction book have you recommended the most? What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
Week 2: (November 9-13) – Book Pairing (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. Maybe it’s a historical novel and you’d like to get the real history by reading a nonfiction version of the story.
Week 3: (November 16-20) – Be The Expert/Ask the Expert/Become the Expert (Rennie [me!] @ What’s Nonfiction [here!]): Three ways to join in this week! You can either share 3 or more books on a single topic that you have read and can recommend (be the expert), you can put the call out for good nonfiction on a specific topic that you have been dying to read (ask the expert), or you can create your own list of books on a topic that you’d like to read (become the expert).
Week 4: (November 23-27) – New to My TBR (Katie @ Doing Dewey): 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!
Sounds like a nice look at the world of non-fiction, Margaret. I always like that because it’s such a good reminder that there’s so much good non-fiction out there. I’m often tempted to just focus on fiction, and that leaves out a lot….

It takes me longer to read non-fiction than fiction. I always intend to read more but the novels often get in the way.

I might actually take part in this event this year. I don’t usually read that much nonfiction but I have read more this year than ever before, and want to continue.

I hope you will take part – it’s a good incentive to read more non-fiction.

I’ve never done this but am sorely tempted after reading your post. I’ve read 19 non-fiction books this year so that ought to be enough to form an opinion on something. LOL!

I do hope you will take part too – you don’t have to do a post each week, just the ones that appeal to you.

Thank you for reminding me of this event, Margaret, I completely forgot about it! I hope you enjoy taking part again this year. 🙂
