I usually read a lot of nonfiction but I haven’t so far in ’14. I need all the help I can get!

I love non-fiction, but fiction gets so much hype on other blogs, I definitely have to work to fit it in sometimes! I hope you find some great non-fiction to read this year
I love those Goodreads features too! And I actually didn’t know that you can search giveaways by tags, so thanks for sharing!
I’m reading Year of No Sugar right now and liking it so far. Regenesis sounds pretty cool, but scares me a little bit, haha.

I think Year of No Sugar sounds fascinating, but possibly also overwhelming! From the book description, it seems as though a lot more of our food contains sugar than just the desserts so cutting it entirely could be very difficult. I actually work on a DNA binding protein which could be used for synthetic biology applications so Regenesis sounded like a perfect read for me
Thanks for sharing the EarlyWord website. I’m going to bookmark it because I love book previews.

That’s definitely a site I’ll be revisiting! Currently I use Edelweiss to find upcoming books, but the number of books can be overwhelming.
How did you find those features at Goodreads? I love the one for settings especially.

That’s a good question! I think I heard about them from two different bloggers, but I can’t remember who or I would have credited them in the post. I probably bookmarked them over a year ago and didn’t keep track of how I originally got there. Thanks for adding a link! I love books about books
I added a link. The book is about fiction, but it is a mystery reference book… that I loved.
