Lose Yourself in the World of Books
This one is always a tough one - I have so many interests and tend to read pretty widely across them. When I taught social studies we frequently had to create "text sets," a collection of fiction and nonfiction across multiple reading levels that pertained to whatever topic we were covering. So this year, I've… Continue reading Nonfiction November Week 3: Expert Opinion
I absolutely love doing "If You Like This, Try This" pairings and regularly do about 18 of them every couple months for the bookstore I work at. I, however, tend to read things based on what I've watched as well, so this year I'm going with a nonfiction book / movie or tv series pairing… Continue reading Nonfiction November Week 2: Nonfiction, Meet Fiction
I'm so excited to participate in Nonfiction November once again, especially after a light reading year and one in which I've read more fiction than nonfiction. It's taken a bit more thought to do each of the prompts this time around, but I had a lot of fun coming up with some great nonfiction titles… Continue reading Nonfiction November Week 1: Year in Nonfiction

I'm a few days late here, but hopefully no one will hold my tardiness against me!… Continue reading Week 3: Expert Opinion
I LOVE doing "If You Like This, Try This" lists - we have a whole section for them at the bookstore and it's such fun. One thing we haven't done, however, is pair fiction and nonfiction so I'm excited to do so now! I may also throw in some binge watching/book pairings here as I… Continue reading Week 2: Nonfiction, Meet Fiction
I am so excited to be participating in my first Nonfiction November! I've been following the reviews on What's Nonfiction and had so many lovely comments back and forth with Rennie that I figured it about time I commit to joining in for the month, even though it's a hectic one at the bookstore (and… Continue reading Week 1: Year in Nonfiction
