Nonfiction November Week 1 (A Little Late)

nonficnovgraphicjulz

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?

Completed

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.

  1. 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!
