I read a ton of non-fiction and I still need to swap it up with some fiction now and again or I get burnt out on it. If it’s every something you’d like to read more of, I’d be happy to recommend some narrative non-fiction that reads like fiction. I really appreciate you offering encouragement even those this meme your cup of tea :)

I could really afford to self-host and do giveaways, so it’s not about the money. What’s really stopping me at this precise moment is the time to deal with a move and the fear of losing a lot of followers in the move. Do you have any thoughts on those worries from your process of becoming self-hosted (if you weren’t always self-hosted)? Hosting this meme and wanting to embed a linky has reminded me all over again of the many reasons I’d like to be self-hosted, so it is still something I’m considering doing.

For some weird reason, I really couldn’t find any gratification when I’m reading non-fiction books. Anyway, I know that this will be a success. I’ll just cheer for you.

And re: being self-hosted, I could gush on and on about how awesome it is, Katie. Everything is just so flexible and very efficient. I hope you will continue considering it until such time you don’t want to host GAs anymore. Hahahaha.

Good luck! :D

Although I read fiction because I enjoy it, I think I also read it in part because it’s easier to find people to talk to about fiction, Hopefully this meme and Kim and Leslie’s event will help us non-fiction lovers start to find each other :)

I loved the Nonfiction November event hosted by Kim and Leslie, but this meme is exactly what I need to keep the motivation to go on reading nonfiction.

Great idea! :)

Is there a way to comment on your blog? I don’t see one, but may just be being silly :)

Perhaps I just haven’t looked in the right places. I also loved the Time Traveler’s Guide, especially the many details it included. It was a unique way of looking at a historical time period. I haven’t read any of the other books on your favorite list though, so I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for sharing your link!

Strayed is a super memoir writer and capitalized on the following she had as the “Dear Sugar” columnist at The Rumpus. This is my review of Tiny Beautiful Things: http://goo.gl/wiYNRn

The last one I read in April, Wild by Cheryl Strayed, though was great. I
