NONFICTION NOVEMBER: Be the Expert





Week 3: (Nov. 12 to 16) – Be The Expert/Ask the Expert/Become the Expert (Julie @ JulzReads): Three ways to join in this week! You can either share three or more books on a single topic that you have read and can recommend (be the expert), you can put the call out for good nonfiction on a specific topic that you have been dying to read (ask the expert), or you can create your own list of books on a topic that you’d like to read (become the expert).



I'm going with option  1 and 3 - a list of books on a topic I've read and I'd like to read and become the expert. Would you believe I've chosen Mathematics?

I found three books I've already read, and then looked around. I found a bunch more on this topic that I'd like to explore and read, and had to limit myself to the ones I have listed. 

Have you read any of these? Any you would recommend? Sorry if I've put you off with my geekiness.
