The final week of Nonfiction November is where we share the books we’ve added to our TBR lists this month. This week is hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz. I’ve gotten a lot of great recommendations this month. Here are some of the books I’m most looking forward to reading:
The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World’s Most Glorious – and Perplexing – City by David Lebovitz. Recommended by The Intrepid Angeleno. Why it appeals: I’m always interested in stories about people who move to another country. And this is about Paris and food, what more could I ask for?
The Great Silence 1918:1920: Living in the Shadow of the Great War by Juliet Nicolson. Recommended by Hopewell’s Library of Life. Why it appeals: I’m always interested in World War I and II, but there’s something about the post-war period that fascinates me. It’s a time of so much change.
American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard. Recommended by Entering the Enchanted Castle. Why it appeals: I’m very interested in the regional differences in the U.S. (political, cultural, religious, and demographic) and how those differences have affected our history.
Ultra-Processed People: The Science Behind Food That Isn’t Food by Chris van Tulleken. Recommended by BooksPlease. Why it appeals: I try hard to eat food that’s more natural and less processed, but it isn’t easy. I’m hoping I can learn more about healthy eating, and the forces that make those choices so difficult.
Our Island Stories: Country Walks through Colonial Britain by Corinne Fowler. Recommended by Adventures in reading, running, and working from home. Why it appeals: I seem to be reading a lot of “walking stories” lately. This book combines walking through various parts of Britain’s countryside with Britain’s history of colonialism and oppression.
Thanks to all the hosts of Nonfiction November! If you participated, what books did you add to your TBR?
