It's finally here! NonFiction November 2024

[@BookCougars]

Chris forgot to mention that TRIAL BY AMBUSH is an Amazon First Reads selection for November! If you're a Prime member, you can read the Kindle version for FREE in November. And if you're not a Prime member, you can get it for just $1.99. Doh! Otherwise, it would have been cruel to recommend a book for Nonfiction November that isn't actually out until December. 🙄

Many interesting books. I love non fiction primarily history snd biographies. I read Antonia Fraser's biography of Mary Stuart when it first came out many years ago. It is excellent.

We are on the fence about Dava Sobel in this house. I enjoyed Longitude, but not Planets. Definitely want to give her another shot. Book and Dagger sounds so interesting! Also, book women...thanks for bringing these to my attention!

[@TheLibraryMouseGina]

Oh Master Slave sounds so good. I taught fourth grade and did a unit on slavery every year... and always taught about this couple and their journey. I"ll have to pick this book up.

I read Master Slave Husband Wife. It was an amazing story. It read like a novel, so compelling!

[@patriciafay-f9l]

My nonfiction for November will be Braiding Sweetgrass

[@lillianbarker4292]

I just read Flee North by Shane about the first Underground Railroad out of Washington DC. It gave me a more comprehensive understanding of American slave conditions that compelled people to risk their lives to escape. One of the most common reasons was the slaves’ fear of losing their children to the slave trade or the sexual abuse of women by slave owners. Also, of course, the political complications were fascinating and vividly portrayed.

I recommend The Girls Who Went Away by Fessler about teen girls who got pregnant before abortion became legal (girls of my generation). Their many stories form a pattern of grief and guilt that luckily was ended by reproductive rights, but that are now once again limited. This book shows the trauma of giving a baby up for adoption in the 50s or 60s when choices were limited. On the same subject, The Story of Jane is also great. Reading is a way to walk in someone else’s shoes and convinces me that our best leaders are readers and the worst most heartless ones never read.

I have Liar Temptress Soldier Spy on my Ovember list.

Another great video. Thank you. Some of the books I’ve read and many are now on my round-to-it list. I am mostly a nonfiction reader, my pile of possibilities is growing, a selection flavored tea bags are ready ready to brew, and my reading chair is calling. My first book: Category Five: Superstorms and the Warming Oceans That Feed Them by. Porter Fox. Happy Reading

After reading Into Thin Air by Krakauer I became a fan of his work. His book, Missoula is a must read, about a date rape that occurred in that city. It was a surprising subject for an adventurer to choose but very compelling.

[@sarahdawson4029]

I like to take on a large nonfiction in November. This year will be The Power Broker by Robert Caro.

[@lillianbarker4292]

You must have heard about it on Roman Mars’s podcast 99% Invisible. If not, check it out. It’s fabulous.

[@robinrobertson8332]

Will be reading The Elements of Marie Cutie. Been on my list! Thanks for this Friday Video. Needed it!❤

[@lillianbarker4292]

I recommend any nonfiction book by Lawrence Wright or Doris K. Goodwin. Her book on Theodore Roosevelt is an example of the best kind of history book. It’s not just a list of dates, but an amazing explanation of how ideas, people and experiences change the world. I never was a history buff before, but now I’m hooked.

[@aliciacampos5789]

Hi ladies. I read master slave, husband, wife in September. It really is a fascinating story and I think you’ll really enjoy it. The only other book I’ve read from the ones you talked about is into thin air. That book was riveting.

[@myreadinglife8816]

I am also reading There is Always This Year in NFN. And I’m reading Estrogen Matters which is another menopause/hormone replacement book. Great bunch of books discussed here!

[@BookwormAdventureGirl]

Master Slave Husband Wife is one I want to read. I’ve Tried Being Nice sounds good. Love a book that makes you laugh out loud. 😊💙

Hello from 🇨🇦

[@karennaughton]

Great video! I loved both your original “gateway” choices. I got “Mother Grains” for my birthday. It was on my wish list based on Emily’s recommendation. (I want the cookie book, too. Maybe I’ll get it for Christmas.) I plan to read the Clark book next. My current nonfiction read is “Once Upon a Prime” by Sarah Hart. It’s about the connections between math and literature. I think it fits the “join” category.

[@donbillie1883]

You make a "Dynamic Duo" - enjoyed your video. Might like this related to Path - "Margaret Hamilton From Cleveland ohio to the Land of Oz " about her journey from kindergarten teacher to the Wicked Witch!

[@lilybugslibrary]

I'm hoping to read Back to the Prairie by Melissa Gilbert. It looks good and it's been sitting on my shelves for quite a while now.

[@LaughingStockfarm1]

I’m going to be finishing 3 non-fiction books this month, two of which I started months ago, one which I’ve just started. I’m more a fiction reader, so that’s why these have taken so long. The oldest, longest is ‘Tales of Love and Darkness’ by Amos Oz, his memoir of family and growing up during the creation of Israel. Tender and at times wrenching. In the summer I started ‘Birth of a White Nation’ and got distracted, returning to it just a couple of weeks ago. And just this last week I started ‘A Year of Living Constitutionally’ and it’s hilarious. Recommending it to all my friends. 😁

[@Ihearbooks]

Great video and group of books. I hope to get to James McBride"s The Color of Water and Wanderers A History of Women Walking by Kerri Andrews for non-fiction November.

[@ladyking119]

I just subscribed to your channel today, wanted to see you non-fiction choices. I was never a non-fiction reader until 2 years ago, when I challenge myself to read one non-fiction book a month which I succeeded. Now I do read it and find many books interesting in that category. This year I am reading celebrity memoirs/biographies. Right now reading about Paul Newman's life and I have a book about Sally field to read after that. I have put some of your books on my tbr list

[@58angieb]

'Marie' ,pronounced 'Marry' Curie. 😊 Great reviews/recommendations. I'm reading, 'Normal Women' by Philippa Gregory' 900 Hundred Years of History' (non-fiction read).

[@LouiseG.deTonnancour]

🇨🇦 I just discovered you this morning and subscribed. “Book and dagger” I would love to read. All your suggestions sound so interesting! Thank you!

[@BookCougars]

Nice to meet you! Happy reading! 😻

[@AidaBoza]

Thank you ladies, I have read Mary Queen of Scots and loved it. I read Moby Dick this year. Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard is fantastic. Unraveling by Peggy Orenstein.
