This first week of NonFiction November is being hosted at Based on a True Story. This week's questions are what NF have we read this year and what were our favorites?
I have read 78 books so far this year and 30 of them were nonfiction. Mostly I read books about productivity, a little history, and some memoir/biography.
As far as favorites these were the standouts:
Congratulations! The Best is Over by R. Eric Thomas -- funny and touching memoir and the audiobook, read by the author, was great.
The Life List by Kate Christie -- a woman of "a certain age" taking control of her own destiny and nailing it!
All it Takes is a Goal by Jon Acuff -- sensible, practical tools for getting stuff done.
Boom Town by Sam Anderson -- a true story of Oklahoma City and basketball.
As always, I hope to discover some new-to-me NF titles and learn more about ones I might have been considering that are not likely to be good picks for me.
Thirty nonfiction books is a good amount! I haven't heard of Boom Town. I'll need to look into that one.
ReplyDeleteOoo, Boom Town might be my kind of book!
