Nonfiction Nov – Week 5 – New to TBR

On By Erin @ Cracker Crumb LifeIn books and reading, Uncategorized

I made it to Week 5, the final week! This has been a wonderful month of finding not just new reads but whole new blogs and people! My only regret is that I didn’t have enough time to visit everyone and reply all the time. My blogging hours are limited to when my son is in school three mornings a week, which is usually an acceptable amount of time, but this challenge needed a little more than that. I do plan on trying to go back and comment, and finish visiting those I missed though over the next week or so.

Also, because I am a person who takes notes on the backs of envelopes and random bits of paper, I lost one of my lists of reads and also a list with the names of the blogs I got books from. So… if you are reading this and see a book here that I have said I added but didn’t add the blogger and it is you, let me know so I can link back! I feel awful about it. Next year I will be more organized and better prepared. This was my first year, and I learned a lot and really enjoyed myself! Thanks to everyone who hosted and set this challenge up!

Which leads us to this last week, all of our new books added to our TBR, hosted by Rennie at What’s Nonfiction:

Week 5: (Nov. 25 to 30) – New to My TBR – Rennie @ What’s Nonfiction : 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!

  3. This is such an amazing list!!! I’m so glad you got so many, and that you had fun participating 🙂 My first year I was scrambling to put together the TBR list too, but don’t worry, it only happens once. Yours is so organized already though!

    I’m glad I could recommend you a few that I thought were amazing. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them. I can emphatically second the recs for The Five, Underland, Quiet, Poisoner’s Handbook, After the Eclipse, Kitchen Yarns, and Pancakes in Paris. All of those are outstanding. And earlier this year I finally got to visit the American diner in Paris from Pancakes in Paris and I was SO excited (I imagine it was like your Savannah trip but on a smaller scale, lol).

    Thanks for the recommendations you gave me too – I am so eagerly anticipating Sound of a Wild Snail Eating!

    1. I had such a good time participating! This was pretty awesome, especially since I am trying to increase the amount of nonfiction I am reading. 🙂 I am really excited to read Pancakes in Paris actually lol, but I am waiting for the Paris in July event, so I have some time to wait. And how cool you visited the diner! I love literary inspired trips and outings. LOL. I wonder how many of us do that, make trips to places we read about, especially for a diner or a house? I know that my dad loves the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and he went to the Whistle Stop Cafe once while on vacation. (I don’t think he has read the book) Hmm.

      And this list. LOL. I already have my plan in place for next year. I am going to have a draft going all month of all my new books, to keep it in one place. Hopefully. Chances are though, it will be written on scraps of paper once again since that is how I roll. Lol.

      Thanks for all your enthusiasm and comments and suggestions!!

  6. Thanks so much to linking to my recommendation of After the Eclipse and The Gender Agenda, I really appreciate it. I’ve struggled to keep up with commenting and replying to comments this month too but it’s been fab to find new bloggers to follow and I’ve really enjoyed joining in. I hope you enjoy all of the books you’ve added this month! 🙂

  7. Thank you for the mentions and for linking back to me! I totally hadn’t realised we were supposed to link to where we saw the books so just kept a list and hoped no one was offended! I will do better next time. And yes, it was quite hard to keep up with all the new bloggers and posts. I hope new commenters like you and others will keep reading my blog and I’m so pleased to have so many new bloggers to follow!

  13. I’m so reassured to know I am not the only one who scribbles notes on any bit of paper that just comes to hand. Then I lose it. When I do find it months later I either can’t read my writing or don’t know what the note is meant to be about……

    So glad to see my recommendation for the Salt Path resonated with you. It is really a very special book
