Well, I decided a little late to jump on the Nonfiction November bandwagon. I’ll just do a little catch-up.
Week 1: (Oct. 28 to Nov. 1) – Your Year in Nonfiction (Julz of Julz Reads): Take a look back at your year of nonfiction and reflect on the following questions – What was your favorite nonfiction read of the year? Do you have a particular topic you’ve been attracted to more this year? What nonfiction book have you recommended the most? What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
These are the nonfiction books I read this year. Few, I know. But I’ll do better next year, I hope.
What was your favorite nonfiction read of the year?
My favorite of the year was American Overdose. So tragic and eye-opening.
Do you have a particular topic you’ve been attracted to more this year?
I guess all of these books have a theme: they are about prejudice. Whether it be racial, gender, or occupation prejudice – it all sucks.
What nonfiction book have you recommended the most?
Of these, I’d say Radium Girls was the most readable.
What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
Since moving to WordPress, I haven’t had opportunity to connect with people with similar reading interests. This is my attempt to do so.
I need to check out Radium Girls! Great list!

I enjoyed The Radium Girls and was impressed with Between the World and Me, also. Will add American Overdose to my list… thanks for the recommendation.

Between the World and Me was very eye-opening. As was The Radium Girls–I had NO idea this had happened. 😦 It’s amazing how little we can know of so many things.

Yeah, I can’t believe the events of Radium Girls! What horrors they had to go through, and so little compensation to help with their medical bills.

Ooh, these all seem like good reading choices! I loved Radium Girls and was blown away by Between the World and Me. The rest of the books on your list are all ones I’d like to get to. Thanks for joining in and apologies for my delayed comment!
