This is my first time participating in Nonfiction November although I do participate in an annual nonfiction challenge at Book'd Out.
Our host for the first week here is Heather at Based on a True Story.
Week 1 (10/27 – 11/2) Your Year in Nonfiction: Celebrate your year of nonfiction. What books have you read? What were your favorites? Have you had a favorite topic? Is there a topic you want to read about more? What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
So far this year I have read thirteen nonfiction books with various topics such as Food, Health, Travel, Garden, Myths/Legends and Memoir/Biography. I am about to start The Art Thief by Michael Finkel which is true crime, also a buddy read with Susan at The Cue Card.
Favorites / One of my absolute favorite for 2025 is The Story of a Heart by Dr. Rachel Clarke. That book could well have landed under the science category but I chose health.
Here is a list of the nonfiction completed so far in 2025.
Olive, Mabel and Me by Andrew Cotter
Be Ready When Luck Happens by Ina Garten
On the Hippie Trail by Rick Steves
Vanishing Cornwall by Daphne du Maurier
The Day the World Came to Town by Jim DeFede
