Nonfiction November - week one

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.

Hello world. I've been absent for a bit but probably haven't missed anything crucial.  I guess.  Life got mad at us in November.   E...
