Nonfiction November is hosted this year by Julie (JulzReads), Sarah (Sarah’s Book Shelves), Katie (Doing Dewey), Rennie (What’s Nonfiction) — is a month-long celebration of everything nonfiction. Each week, they’ll be a different prompt and a different host looking at different ideas about reading and loving nonfiction.
Week 5 (Nov. 26 to Nov. 30)
New to my TBR (Hosted by Rennie at What’s Nonfiction?)
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!

What did you add to your TBR this month?
Did I miss any good titles? Is that even possible?!
Nice list of books - I want to read quite a few of them myself. Dopesick made a lasting impression on me.
ReplyDeleteI've been shying away from difficult reads, but I think Dopesick is a must-read.
DeleteThat is QUITE a list! Glad to see I was able to provide a few recs. Thanks for participating! Happy Thanksgiving...
ReplyDeleteI loved participating in Nonfiction November. Thank you for hosting.
Deletewow, you are really planning to read all these?? I'm glad I helped you with some bird books.
ReplyDeleteI was drastic this year, and added only 9: https://wordsandpeace.com/2019/11/25/nonfiction-november-2019-new-on-my-tbr/
You were wise to limit the number you listed.
DeleteI hope you enjoy these! I loved Born A Crime. Educated is sitting on my TBR shelf right now. I probably won’t get to it for Nonfiction November because I’m a slow reader.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I hope to get some good nonfiction reading in in the last days of the month.
DeleteThank you for the shout-out. I'm new to this so didn't know I needed to say where I found the books--I'll put it in my reviews. SUPERB list--I will be coming back to add books to my tbr from it.
ReplyDeleteIt's something you can do next year. And thank you.
DeleteWow, what a great list! The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World was a fantastic read.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can find a copy and read it.
DeleteEvery year I forget!
ReplyDeleteI spend the first 4 weeks busily adding lots of new & exciting books to my goodreads wishlist, but - each year - I forget to note who recommended them to me. This year I even had my draft posts prepared ahead of time, with the idea of adding the links as I found them into week 5....and I still forgot!
And now it's too hard to work it all out.
So well done, Deb for being so organised and efficient. And I hope you enjoy your Aussie selections from me :-)
I do feel a little proud of organizing this so well. Thank you so much for all the great suggestions.
DeleteWow that's a lot of books (too much pressure for me!) and you have some really good ones on your list. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI like to have a lot of choices. I know that I won't be able to find them all and the ones I find I may not like them.
DeleteWow! Just wow! What a great, thorough list. If anyone can get through it, it's you.
ReplyDeleteI certainly can't say that I don't know what to read....
DeleteThis is awesome! I am so happy that I could recommend so many books that interested you. :) We must have similar tastes because you are on my list quite a few times too. LOL. And I left here today with a new title as well, The Hidden World of the Fox. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI love your lists! I see a few of my favorites and think you will really enjoy them. Kitchen Yarns is wonderful. I need to buy a copy for my keeper shelf. Tell Me More was my all-time favorite read last year! I love everything by Kelly Corrigan, including all her videos on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Forty Autumns. I read it for book club and thought it was only just ok. I hear it's very good on audio. Wish I had gone that route...
Thanks for the recommendation, Marjie.
ReplyDeleteI hope to read Kitchen Yarns soon. I'll also look for Tell Me More. Maybe I can try to find Forty Autumns on audio.
ReplyDeleteI feel less silly about my own extensive list of TBR additions now :)
ReplyDeletePlease stop by to see my New to My TBR + Wrap Up
