Well, another November has officially come and (almost) gone, so that means it’s time to wrap up Nonfiction November. It’s a truncated week, but it’s always one of my favorites. Here’s the prompt we’re working with, which is being hosted by Jaymi at The OC BookGirl:
Week 5 (November 29-December 3) New to My TBR: It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books! Which ones have made it onto your TBR? Be sure to link back to the original blogger who posted about that book!

Thrilled that two of my favourites from the past year have made it onto your list.
My AusReading Month schedule and busy work meant I fell off other challenges during the second half of Nov – so I am now going to check out Dark, Salt, Clear: Life in a Cornish Fishing Town – it looks like something I’d enjoy too 🙂

I totally understand it! I think this is the first year I actually posted on time every week.
I hope you end up enjoying it. It sounds fascinating. I’m really, really looking forward to getting around to the two I pulled from your posts.

I know! This is always the most dangerous Nonfiction November prompt because I always end up finding something I missed. Sorry about the TBR pile, but hopefully it’s worth it!

An impressive list. The Rebanks is on my list too although I do worry that it sounds not unlike his first book, A Shepherd’s Life. Still we shall see.

I haven’t read the books, but lucked into The Durrells in Corfu. It is delightful. What an incredible variety of books you have selected. In case you ever wondered, even after you retire, there is STILL not enough time to read all the books on your TBR list.🙃

At the rate mine is growing, there won’t be enough collective time in all the universe … Of course, I suppose there are far worse problems to have!
