I’m a bit sad that Non-Fiction November is nearly over, however my bookshelf will remember it for a while. This week’s theme is New to My TBR, hosted by Rennie at What’s Nonfiction and here’s the challenge:
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!
And of COURSE I didn’t note down who had mentioned what while I knew this week was coming and had been carefully adding to my list and creating this post in drafts. Sorry, people – maybe you’ll recognise and claim “your” book! If you see yours, please add a comment and I do apologise!
In my case, because November to the end of January is typically a time when I don’t add to my bookshelf myself (I’m in three not so secret santas, two of them booky ones, then there’s my birthday in January and I have booky real-life friends, and I don’t want to buy something someone else might have bought me) I have added these to my wish list, most of them highlighted in bold to show I really would like them. I’ll pick up some I haven’t unwrapped during the season using any book tokens that might appear …
Thank you to everyone who’s followed this blog or taken part in NF November and posted marvellous things. I’ll definitely be back next year!

I’ve really enjoyed taking part in Non-Fiction November too, it’s been great joining in with the prompts for posts each week and discovering new blogs to follow as well as adding books to my TBR list. You’ve found some fab-sounding books, I hope you enjoy them when you get to them. I have Maybe You Should Talk To Someone and The Gender Games on my TBR and hope to get to them before too much longer.

Some of these books sound intriguing; I read a lot of nonfiction, especially memoirs and biographies and recently Elizabeth Berg’s essays.

A nice mixed bag that I’ve picked up from other people – it was lovely doing the themed month even if not everything I read was non-fiction. I do like a good memoir and collection of essays, too.
