I Will Be Participating in Nonfiction November!

Today is Day 1 of Nonfiction November! Nonfiction November is something that was started by the Booktuber @abookolive . She runs it primarily over on Instagram. Olive has made prompts for everyday of November regarding nonfiction books. Today's prompt is what is on my TBR for Nonfiction November. Well, so far I only have two books. They are: I might also read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. We'll see! Hopefully I can find a new favorite and rekindle my love of reading nonfiction, too! The only other nonfiction book I read and liked this year was They Called Us Enemy by George Takei.  I will also not participate in every single prompt because I have some other things I want to talk about this month. But I will participate in the majority of the prompts!

FINALLY FALL TAG!

  Yay for another book tag! I saw this tag once again over at the YouTube channel of Angela from Literature Science Alliance (her video here ). It looked like a lot of fun. Feel free to do this tag if you see it! 1. In fall, the air is crisp and clear: name a book with a vivid setting. Anything by Kelly Barnhill! As of writing this, I have read from her The Girl who Drank the Moon and The Ogress and the Orphans. I am currently reading The Witch's Boy and is also has a very vivid setting. 2. Nature is beautiful, but also dying: name a book that is beautifully written, but also deals with a heavy topic like loss or grief. Three that come to mind are: We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa, and Chasing Redbird by Sharon Creech. 3. Fall is back to school season: share a non-fiction book that taught you something new. Word by Word by Kory Stamper. It's a nonfiction book about how dictionaries are made, specifically the Merriam-Webster English Dictionary...
