It’s the final week of of Nonfiction November – thank you so much to all the hosts! This week it’s New to my TBR time! I always save it to post at the end of the week because I usually see books on other people’s roundups that I fancy. For me, these books aren’t necessarily going on my TBR right away, but are going on my wishlist. I waited until today to look at everyone else’s Week Fives as there’s always something I’ve missed, and I added the last one on this list this week, so am vindicated in that!
Week 5: New to My TBR with Jaymi at The OC Bookgirl: It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books! Which ones have made it onto your TBR?
Books I have added to my Wishlist this November
Terri Janke – “True Tracks: Respecting Indigenous Knowledge and Culture” from ANZ LitLovers’ Week 1 post
Dylan Taylor-Lehman – “Sealand: The True Story of the World’s Most Stubborn Micronation” from Plucked from the Stacks’ Week 3 starter post
Rachel Bertsche – “MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend” from Lisanotes’ Week 3 post
Guillaume Pitron – “Digital Hell” from Words and Peace’s Week 4 post (not out in English until October 2023, though!)
Mark Gevisser – “The Pink Line: Journeys Across the World’s Queer Frontiers” from She Seeks Nonfiction’s Week 4 New to my TBR post
What about last year’s list?
These are the books I added to my wishlist last year.
Richard Seabrook – “All the Devils are Here”
Hanif Abdurraquib – “A Little Devil in America”
Amy Ettinger – “Sweet Spot”
Rachel Johnson – “A Diary of the Lady”
David Epstein – “The Sports Gene”
Ian Williams – “Disorientation”
Amrit Wilson – “Finding a Voice” I bought this one and it’s in my house but has not yet reached the top of the TBR pile!
Michael Twitty – “The Cooking Gene”
So one out of eight purchased or otherwise acquired and none read so far! Ah well! Here’s to next November and a hint to everyone doing it – start making notes for all the weeks as you go through the year – much easier than flailing around trying to remember stuff from the previous 12 months!

All of those sound very interesting Liz – even if we don’t read them all at once, it’s nice to have the books on our TBRs.

Or even on our wishlists, so at least they’re there to pick up when the time is right!

I don’t actually buy the books I find during Nonfiction November. Instead, I use my list to help guide my reading during the next year.

That’s a good idea! Things do sit on my wishlist for a while but it’s Christmas/Birthday season now so who knows what will pop up!

Agree with you about Terri Janke’s (note, no “r” at the end). I sound have had that on my list too. Many of the rest sound good too.

True Tracks is one I’ve added to my wishlist too, but since I have the same problem as you (more unread books than I can ever possibly read !) I’m trying not to purchase unless I plan to read it straight away (ba ha ha ha ha ha she says as she wanders off to the closest bookshop!!)

I am certainly stopping myself buying hardbacks I know will sit on the TBR, however I will be starting reading one from the oldest, one from the newest next year so that might change!

You had a great non fiction November, I was just going to say I didn’t manage any nonfiction but remembered that I read the Dorothy Whipple childhood memoir which is technically nonfiction though a more narrative driven nonfiction.

I definitely count memoir as non-fiction. And that’s a great one to have read!

I have a motto: so many books, so little time. My kindle is full of amazon daily deals that I have yet to read, lol. Maybe I need to dedicate a month to tackle that!

I’m very much hoping it will appear in my Christmas or birthday stacks – if not, it’s high on the list for my book token spending!
