Nonfiction November: Nonfiction Books On My Shelves and Tentative TBR

Nonfiction November is an event hosted by Booktubers Gemma of Non Fic Books and Olive of abookolive,with the goal of encouraging everyone to read more nonfiction books.

This year, they have four loosely defined categories, so I thought it would be fun to see what (unread) books I have on my shelves that would work for each.

Here are the categories followed by my tentative TBR:

1.Home

• The Making of Home by Judith Flanders
• The Virago Book of Women Travellers (Leaving home)
• The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking
• Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain (Introverts often need time alone at home to recharge)

2. Substance

• Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women by Kate Moore
• Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

3. Love

• Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed
• The Fishing Fleet: Husband Hunting in the Raj by Anne de Courcy
• All the Single Ladies: Unmarried Women and the Rise of an independent Nation by Rebecca Traister

4. Scholarship

• Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
