I’m so excited to take part in the Non-Fiction November blog event this year! Running for five weeks from Monday, October 27th to Sunday, November 30th, each week participants will discuss different prompts relating to their non-fiction reading.
Week 5 is hosted by Deb at She Seeks Nonfiction.
- 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!
I’ve loved taking part in Non-Fiction November this month, it’s definitely going to be something I continue to do!
One of the best parts has been finding other non-fiction bloggers, and it’s safe to say my tbr has gained a few additions! I’m sharing below a handful of the books that I am definitely going to pick up soon. There are plenty more that have made it to my ‘interested’ list for somepoint in the future too, but I’m not committing to them yet.
Eve: How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution by Cat Bohannon.
Kiera shared this book in week 1 and it immediately went onto my tbr. Next year I want to focus on non-fiction more, and one of the subjects I want to look into is women’s health and history.
Our Green Heart: The Soul and Science of Forests by Diana Beresford-Kroeger.
This immediately caught my eye when I was browsing Shoe’s, Seeds and Stories, because the art used on the cover is the same as my current read (A Year With Gilbert White)! The author is from Ireland, so fairly close to me, and woods and forests are my favourite habitat, so I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into this one. I think it will be very useful for my degree research!
The Art of Language Invention by David J. Peterson.
Also shared by Kiera, but in week 3, this book immediately caught my eye as something pretty niche that I knew I’d enjoy. As a fantasy reader, unique languages are something I come across pretty often, so I think it’ll be interesting to read more into how they come about.
Growing Papaya Trees: Nurturing Indigenous Solutions for Climate Displacement by Jessica Hernandez.
I found this book via Liz, our host for week 3! This wasn’t part of one of the weekly posts, but as soon as I saw her review I knew I needed to add it to my tbr. The climate crisis is something I care deeply about, and I am always looking to learn about it from the perspectives of those disproportionately affected by it.
Medicine Wheel for the Planet A Journey Toward Personal and Ecological Healing by Dr. Jennifer Grenz.
This was shared on Unsolicited Feedback for week 1. I enjoy books that speak about a person or culture’s relationship and stewardship of the land they live on. I’ve read a couple of Indigenous books this year, and I know I want to read more, so this one ticks a lot of boxes for me!
