It’s time for another Nonfiction November post! This week Rebekah is the host and the prompt is mind openers. So below is a list of Nonfiction November mind opening books that I think everyone should read.

Week 3 (11/11-11/15) Book Pairings: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title.

I have four book pairing categories to share: ballet, reproductive rights, cats, and World War II!

As it happens the first week’s prompt works well for my available time. Hosted by Heather, week one looks at your year in nonfiction.

Week 1 (10/28-11/1) Your Year in Nonfiction: Celebrate your year of nonfiction. What books have you read? What were your favorites? Have you had a favorite topic? Is there a topic you want to read about more?  What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?

With that, let me share about my year in nonfiction.
