I missed out on participating in Non-Fiction November last year, but I'm on the ball for 2017! Non-Fiction November is a month of discussion, recommendations and reading non-fiction -- a genre I love, but one I sometimes have trouble making time for.
Each week in November I'll be doing a blog post about non-fiction -- you can see the prompts here -- and I'm going to try to fit one or two non-fiction books into my reading queue. I'd love to read more, but as you can see from yesterday's post there are way more 2017 releases I hope to read by the end of the year than I'll ever have time for, most of them fiction.
Here are a few of the contenders (all 2016/2017 releases):
1. Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
2. The Last Castle: The Epic Story of Love, Loss and American Royalty in the Nation's Largest Home by Denise Kiernan
3. Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore
4. American Wolf: A True Story of Survival and Obsession in the West by Nate Blakeslee
5. Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers Who Helped Win WWII by Liza Mundy
6. The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir: by Alexandra Marzano-Lesnevich
7. From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty
8. Dear Fahrenheit 451: A Librarian's Love Letters and Break-Up Notes to the Books in Her Life by Annie Spence
9. Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
10. Forty Autumns: A Family's History of Courage and Survival on Both Sides of the Berlin Wall by Nina Willner
I don't tend to read a lot of non-fiction and when I do, it's either a memoir or has a dog at the center of it - go figure!
ReplyDeleteI also want to read Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and From Here To Eternity, but I suspect I won't get to either of them before the end of the year.
