As always, I’m sad Nonfiction November is coming to a close, but I’m thrilled to host our last discussion prompt. Thanks so much to all of you who’ve participated! I’ve had more time to read posts this year and I’ve loved hearing from all of you. Don’t forget to visit the other hosts before we wrap up – Rennie at What’s Nonfiction, Julie at Julz Reads, and Leann of Shelf Aware. Thanks to them for making this event possible! This week you can link-up your responses at the end of my post. The prompt is:
New to My TBR : 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!
As always, I’ve added almost too many books to list to my to-read pile this month! I’ve decided to focus in some posts that led me to add a bunch of fascinating books all at once!
- books on books, tech, true crime from The Paperback Princess
- books on literary criticism from Typings
- follow-the-money stories from What’s Nonfiction
- books on gentrification and Wallis Simpson from The Paperback Princess
- adventure stories from Julz Reads
- more books on books from Books Are My Favorite and the Best
- feminist perspectives on current events from Melissa Firman
- books on birdwatching from Adventures Reading, Running, and Working From Home
What books have you added to your TBR this month? Share them below, then go see what everyone else has added, so you can add that too :p
Liz Dexter
I’ve only added a few this year, slightly weirdly, though I have mightily enjoyed reading lots of post and have added two or three new blogs to my reader. Thank you for hosting and for mentioning my birdwatching books!
DoingDewey
Haha, I admire your restraint! I tried to limit my additions, but I always find that hard with this event. Thanks for your birdwatching recommendations!
Angela
Such a wide and great variety of topics!
DoingDewey
It’s true! I loved seeing what everyone was reading 🙂
Stephanie @ Bookfever
Such different topics but that’s what I love about nonfiction!

DoingDewey
Agreed! That is one of the best things about it 🙂
Monika @ Lovely Bookshelf
oh noooo the “books on books” posts are going to destroy me! in a good way hahaha
DoingDewey
That’s definitely one of my favorite categories 😀
Molly
I look forward to this post everyday (because it turns immediately into my Christmas wish list) but it also makes me sad because it means NonFiction November is over. Le sigh. Thank you for co-hosting!
DoingDewey
I’m sad to see it come to end too! Thanks so much for joining in 🙂

Julz’s adventure stories grew my TBR exponentially! Thanks for co-hosting! I enjoyed the event tremendously!
DoingDewey
Adventure nonfiction is such a great category! It’s what got me into reading narrative nonfiction in the first place.

I love seeing what nonfiction everyone is adding to their TBR lists. I need to go through mine and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately, I always forget to keep track of who recommended each one.
DoingDewey
I think this is only the second year that I’ve remembered to track as I go instead of having to go back at the end! I’ll try to remind people earlier on next year.

I also added only a few titles to my “official” TBR, but I know all the good books I read about will percolate in my mind and some of them might make it into my reading at some point too. Thanks again for hosting, it was a great month (from the reading point of view, anyway).
DoingDewey
I suspect the same thing will happen for me too! I tried to limit my TBR additions, but I definitely get excited about books as I see them around more and will find myself randomly picking them up at the library later. I’m glad to hear you had a good reading month. Thanks for joining in 😀
Lisa notes
This is my 2nd year participating in Nonfiction November and I loved it as much this year as last year! It’s always enlightening to see what others are reading and to pick up some new books as a result. Thanks so much for being one of our hosts.
DoingDewey
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it again this year! I love seeing what everyone else is reading during this month as well. Thank you for joining in 🙂
Rennie
I’m glad I could share some follow-the-money stories with you! Thanks as always for making it so much fun!

As I’ve gotten more interested in politics, I’ve become much more aware of the corrupting influence of money and I’m hoping that if enough small donors band together, we can start to combat that to some extent, so I think those all seem like very important reads! Thank you for helping to host and to make this such a great month 🙂

Thank you for hosting our final week, Katie – It is sad its coming to an end, but it has been so much fun taking part again. ?
DoingDewey
I feel the same way! It’s been such an enjoyable month, I’m sorry to see it come to an end. Thanks for joining us again 🙂
Lexlingua
Love how you’ve provided links to a whole lot of goodies. Happy NFN and thanks for hosting this 🙂
DoingDewey
Happy NFN and thanks so much for joining in! 🙂

Thanks for sharing!
Margaret @ BooksPlease
Thanks for co-hosting! It’s been such an interesting month of nonfiction with lots of new books to me.
DoingDewey
Thanks for joining in! 🙂
Eva @ The Paperback Princess
Thanks for including my posts! I’m glad you found some stuff that you wanted to read there!
Books on books posts are always a weakness of mine. And I want to read pretty much everything Rennie ever talks about!
DoingDewey
Oh my gosh, I think I found the most books to read in your posts! We seem to have highly overlapping subject interests and yet somehow I’ve not gotten to many of the books that you were talking about.
Books on books are always so hard to resist! And Rennie’s been responsible for recommending a number of books I’ve read this year too 🙂
Marianne @ Let's Read
Great idea. I loved it. Thanks.
Here’s my list.

yikes, that’s a lot of books. I feel better now about my modest purchases….
Thanks for hosting the event – I love it.
DoingDewey
I have to admit that I haven’t actually procured most of the books I’ve added to my to-read list, just marked them on goodreads. Unfortunately, that does make it less likely I’ll get to reading them in a timely fashion!
I’m glad you had fun this month. Thanks so much for joining in 🙂
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
Thanks for hosting Katie, as usual my WTR list has grown, I hope to actually read some of the additions over the next year!

Thanks for joining in! Haha, I’m going to do my best to read at least a few of the books added to my list too 🙂
