NONFICTION NOVEMBER: New to My TBR


Week 5: (Nov. 26 to 30) – New to My TBR (Katie @ Doing Dewey): 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

Ah, the best part of Nonfiction November is getting those recommendations based on other readers. A few of these books were on my radar, but reading about other bloggers opinions makes it an easier decision. A few other books I had never heard of and I was intrigued. Thanks for all the great Nonfiction Sharing and thanks to the hosts for once again running Nonfiction November.

A quick glance at last years New to My TBR post shows I haven't read a single one, so I am not exactly sure how effective these lists are. I have Bad Blood on request at the library, so surely I'll read it sooner than later.

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Start Up by John Carreyrou

Educated: a Memoir by Tara Westover

Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History Without the Fairy-Tale Endings by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie

Any Ordinary Day: What Happens After the Worst Day of Your Life? by Leigh Sales

Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy Heather Thompson

A Mountain of Crumbs by Elena Gorokhova  (Russian memoir)
Rennie at What's Nonfiction

Any of these books look interesting to you?

I hope you enjoy Leigh Sales' book....I could nog put it down. Storng point is its conversatonal tone and the author's openheartedness.
Blood in the Water...is completely other story. The book large so I opted for the audio-book. I think that is the way to go. The story is intense and the narration gives you the chance to listen in frequent sittings. I could not absorb all the injusitce in long readings. #MustRead
I'll be following your posts in 2019!
This Russian memory is tempting...

Great choices: here's to another great November!
I also added Any Ordinary Day to my wishlist also. I read Educated this month myself and was totally blown away. I hope you're able to get to some of these titles soon - happy reading!
Yay for Bad Blood! I think that might be my favorite book I read this year :)
