This week of #NonFicNov is hosted by Julz of JulzReads
This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. It can be a “If you loved this book, read this!” or just two titles that you think would go well together. Maybe it’s a historical novel and you’d like to get the real history by reading a nonfiction version of the story.
This one was such a fun one last year!
“The beauty of cider lies in its simplicity..” The Cider Revival: Dispatches from the Orchard
The Simplicity of Cider is one of my favorite books – I love Amy E. Reichert, and this book was a delight to read, full of cider and apples and family and magic. I have been having my own little love affair with cider this year, so when The Cider Revival recently hit my radar, I gobbled it up. Like, just read the heck out of it and then regaled my husband and family with a multitude of cider facts for days. I feel so well-versed in the world of cider!
This book even inspired a cider tasting and fire night with my brother and sister-in-law this weekend!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
Ooh, great pairing! This is always my favorite week of the event.

I’d not heard of the nonfiction half of this pairing, but it sounds delightful. For some reason, I really like the idea of learning more about fun drinks, whether that means coffee or wine or cider. Maybe it makes me feel sophisticated :p

What a fab pairing. I actually started a series called Fact or Fiction where I pair up a fiction and nonfiction book that relate to each other. I’ve only had two posts so far, but still, it’s a fun idea. I love it.
