  Before I get into it, I have decided this will be the last Nonfiction November prompt of this year I will participate in.  I also don't feel like participating in NN next year. I don't think my feelings will change from here and next November. So what illustrated nonfiction books do I recommend? Pretty much every graphic novel memoir that I like, such as: (Pics were found on Google Images) I hope you like these books as much as I do!

 😑 Yeah, only guess what? I DNF (did not finish) everything I read! I DNF Crying in H Mart because it was too sad, and then I DNF The Hidden Life of Trees because it was too boring. For real, do I even like nonfiction anymore?! Pretty much everything I picked up this year was a disappointment. Except for They Called Us Enemy by George Takei. I think I am going to take a break from reading nonfiction for a while. I will still participate in the Nonfiction November prompts for this year, but I won't actually be reading any nonfiction books. I don't know when I will pick up another nonfiction book, but for now I'd rather read fiction.  What's been your most disappointing book so far (fiction or nonfiction) this year?

I forgot to post this yesterday! But that's okay. Today's (Day 5) prompt was just telling me to go vote. Which I already did.  The prompt for Day 4 is: what is my favorite subject? I seem to mostly gravitate towards memoirs! Most of my favorite nonfiction books are memoirs. Here's a list I recommend (links to Goodreads are provided): 1. Persepolis (and its sequel) by Marjane Satrapi 2. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls 3. They Called Us Enemy by George Takei 4. My Life in France by Julia Child 5. Greetings From Utopia Park by Claire Hoffman 6. Smile (and Sisters ) by Raina Telgemeier 7. Bicycling with Butterflies by Sara Dykman 8. Messy Roots by Laura Gao 9. Huda F Are You (and Huda F Cares ) by Huda Fahmy

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!

All the books I read in February! I read a total of 7 books.  I've been reading mostly sequels lately, but they were all really good! Links to certain books will be provided if applicable. I hope your reading month went well, too! 1. One Piece Volumes 19, 20, and 21 by Eichiro Oda. 4 stars, 5 stars, and 5 stars, respectively. 2. Serafina and the Twisted Staff, and Serafina and the Splintered Heart, both by Robert Beatty. Both 4.5 stars. 3. Prarie Lotus by Linda Sue Park. A middle grade historical fiction book about the half-Chinese Hanna and her father going to live in a small new town in South Dakota. Hanna faces a new school, opening a new dress shop with her father, and some racism. Full review here .  4 stars.  4. They Called us Enemy by George Takei. A graphic novel memoir of actor George Takei's experience in the Japanese internment camps during WW2. Full review here .  5 stars.

  I finally got around to reading this! They Called us Enemy by George Takei is a graphic novel memoir of actor George Takei. It recounts experience as a child in a Japanese internment camp during WW2. He showcases his feelings as a kid experiencing something where he didn't always understand what was going on, but he knew it was something terrible. Growing up, he learned more about what it was being a victim of racism in the United States. He also teaches the audience things they might have not known about the internment camps and how they were able to end them after WW2. He also talks about the aftermath and his overall identity as a Japanese-American, and briefly his time about becoming and actor and being on the critically-acclaimed show, Star Trek.  I loved this book so much! I learned so much about what it was like being in an internment camp from someone who experienced it firsthand, and I also learned more about George Takei in general. I think everyone needs to read t...
