Winner of the “I didn’t know I wanted to know about” award: Wild Places for a Be the Expert post about Survival at Sea.
I had no idea there were so many books on this subject or that I wanted to read them all. I need to start reading faster… |

Bunk: The True Story of Hoaxes, Hucksters, Humbug, Plagiarists, Forgeries, and Phonies by Kevin Young
This is a honorable mention because, while nonfiction, it (whispers) wasn’t from a NonFicNov post. Instead, it was from Outlandish Lit’s 11 Books To Look For This November! This is a book right up my alley. |
Okay, confession time. This is an abridged list of what’s new to my TBR. So… many… books…
I read Death in the Air this month and really enjoyed it – hope you love it!
I’m so happy that I could add to your TBR! Death in the Air is one of those books that I wasn’t initially interested in but seeing how many people love it has put it on my own list.
Thanks for the mention! Hope you enjoy Life Moves Pretty Fast.
Thanks for the link. I’m glad I could tempt you with Dust Bowl Girls. Coincidentally, I just started to listen to Endurance, and I’m really enjoying it so far.
Life Moves Pretty Fast sounds awesome. I’m nostalgic just thinking about it! Great list.
Bunk looks really good!
I opted for an abridged list, too…. SO MANY GOOD BOOKS!
