I try to keep my number of fiction and nonfiction fairly even (besides the graphic novels), and I'm doing a pretty good job of that this year.

I really LIKE nonfiction, I just get distracted by all the lovely fiction out there. I've only read 11 nonfiction books so far this year, out of 150 total--and several of those were graphic novels. I really, really liked In Cold Blood, The 57 Bus, and Textbook Amy Krause Rosenthal. Adrift at Sea is a picture book that I found very affecting and timely as well. Educated was good, but I think was over-hyped, so I was a bit let down.I'm all about the narrative nonfiction as you can see.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296827820807569574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-77757011963517615312018-10-30T19:03:31.115-05:002018-10-30T19:03:31.115-05:00Although I made a goal to read more nonfiction thi...Although I made a goal to read more nonfiction this year, I definitely don't read as much of it as I do fiction.
