It’s Nonfiction November! 🍁🧡 This was the first challenge I participated in last year when I started a Bookstagram account. Nonfiction and memoirs are some of my favorite books. Today’s theme is TBR, and TBH as a mood reader, I’m terrible at keeping to a TBR. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m already reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, as a result of @thestackspod. 🧡 The audiobook is read by Lawrence Fishburne. 🧡 I’m reading An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States For Young People with @notesonbookmarks and @currentlyreadingpodcast bookish friends. It’s also one of the books my daughter and I are reading for history this year. 😊 “When the Welfare People Come”: Race and Class in the US Child Protection Systen is an interlibrary loan from out of state, so I have to finish that this month. It also has a connection with The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Memorial Drive is also a library book that I’ve heard great things about, as I’ve also heard about After the Last Border. Are you participating in Nonfiction November? Have you read any of these or have other strong recommendations? 📚🧡 PS my coworkers gave me these pretty flowers on my last day at work. I am going to miss them. 🧡💐🍁 #nonficnov #nonfictionnovember #books #bookstagram #booklover

Book Buying Bans. We all try them, we tell ourselves to stop being tempted by the bright shiny releases and read our own damn books. Books that, at the time of purchase, we were so excited for, by authors we truly adore. There’s a reason #readwhatyouown has over 5k tags!

So when I came across this gem at @powellsbooks I knew this was JUST the book for NonFiction November!

Book Synopsis:
Early one autumn afternoon in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read for a second time. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books, forsaking new purchases in order to get to know her own collection again.

A book which is left on a shelf for a decade is a dead thing, but it is also a chrysalis, packed with the potential to burst into new life. Wandering through her house that day, Hill's eyes were opened to how much of that life was stored in her home, neglected for years. Howard's End is on the Landing charts the journey of one of the nation's most accomplished authors as she revisits the conversations, libraries and bookshelves of the past that have informed a lifetime of reading and writing.

What do you think? Can you imagine a whole YEAR of getting to know the books you own?! .

If you loved the novel Before We Were Yours, you may be interested in a couple of nonfiction books about Georgia Tann, The Baby Thief and Before and After. Tann, through the Tennessee Children’s Home Society, pressured poor single mothers to place their children for adoption and took children from children’s homes where they had been temporarily placed, selling them to rich families, many of whom could not have passed a basic background check to adopt. In one of the more well known cases, she facilitated 2 of Joan Crawford’s (“Mommie Dearest”) adoptions. Not to mention causing, until recently, untold suffering for many others. 😔 #adoption #nonficnov #nonfictionnovember #nonfictionnovember19 #books #bookstagram #nonfiction #beforewewereyours #thebabythief #beforeandafter

It’s time for Nonfiction November! 🍁 🍂
All month long, I’ll be doing weekly prompts discussing all things NonFiction and hopefully joining a few days of the Instagram challenge too.
Week 1 is hosted by @julzreads and it’s a review of the years NonFiction Reads. Head over to orangecountyreads.com (#linkinbio👆) to read the full post and let’s talk about your favorite writing based on facts, real events, and real people.

What’s your go to for NonFiction? Do you reach for a biography or a political commentary? There’s a million sub genres like scientific writing, occult literature, historical narrative and of course true crime. There’s even lists of food related nonfiction!

What’s been your favorite NF read this year? Let’s add to my TBR!
