It's time for Nonfiction November! The link takes you to a blog post that explains what it's all about, who the hosts are, and the topics for each week.
Although I participate in Nonfiction November every year, it's been years since I had time to do the weekly posts, so I'll give it a try!
This week's topic is Your Year in Nonfiction:
"Celebrate your year of nonfiction. What books have you read? What were your favorites? Have you had a favorite topic? Is there a topic you want to read about more? What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?"
This is pretty easy for me since I read most of my nonfiction for the year during November, when I devote the whole month to reading (and listening to) nonfiction. So, that's what I hope to get out of the event, as always!
But I did read a few nonfiction books earlier this year. According to my 2025 Reading Challenges page, I'm participating in the 2025 Nonfiction Reader Challenge hosted by Book'd Out and have so far read:
Yes, that's it! The first and third were both memoirs, dealing with mental and physical health. The second on that list is a middle-grade history book, in a series (History Comics) that is excellent. In past years, I enjoyed a couple of others in that series and another one on the history of our National Parks (all links go to my reviews).
Of these, I enjoyed them all and tabbed SO many quotes from Wintering, but I think my favorite so far was Between Two Kingdoms because she so beautifully captured the experience of chronic illness and living in a world so different than what the rest of humanity is living. And bonus: the memoir includes a great road trip, too! It was outstanding on audio.
Do you read much nonfiction?
