Such a great and inclusive list of nonfiction! Thanks for all the links!
ReplyDeleteLots of great books! I didn't concentrate on nonfiction this month, but the two I read were my favorite books of November
ReplyDeleteThank you for these suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI read Sapiens earlier this year and found it fascinating. I would like to read The Anthropocene Reviewed - maybe next year. So many great suggestions on your list.
ReplyDeleteI thought The Devil's Highway was a really interesting and intense read. I think you'd like it.
ReplyDeleteI will put it to the top of my list.
DeleteSquare Haunting was wonderful! I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo many good ones. I tried to be good and only added 17, lol: https://wordsandpeace.com/2021/11/29/nonfiction-november-2021-new-on-my-tbr/
ReplyDeleteHaha! Just 17!
DeleteSo many books here that I want to read, too!
ReplyDeleteAn impressive list. I could get into more than a few of these.
ReplyDeleteWicked Plants was such a neat read! I hope you enjoy it as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them all! Republic of Lies sounds interesting. I'm currently reading a book about the history of Facebook, and it talks about how the company does pretty much nothing to stop dangerous conspiracy theories.
ReplyDeleteThey might keep you busy for a while Deb, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely list! I've scheduled mine for the end of the week in case I pick up any from everyone else's lists. I've got Square Haunting TBR but waiting to read it with my best friend.
ReplyDeleteImpressive list with books from almost all genres I think. I spot two books here that I would like to read. The book about Tombstone. I love the wild west and have read quite a few books about that time. Tunnel 29 should be an exciting read.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a huge list! I only dared to pick five for mine but I could have added many more. I'm glad you found some in my posts that appealed to you. I also highly recommend The Body Keeps the Score - and I'm proud to say that Rennie picked it up because of my rec last year :)
ReplyDeleteI failed to keep track of who recommended the books I added to my TBR list on Goodreads, but will do so next year. I know I added at least two dozen titles! I hope you enjoy On Island Time, if you get around to reading it. It's more nature than travel, but after reading it, I found myself daydreaming about another trip to the San Juan Islands. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad one of my recommendations made your list. I hope it's a great read for you. And thank you for participating in Nonfiction November!
ReplyDeleteWhew! That's a lot of books TBR!
