November 2019 TBR

Another month passes and more books get finished, but the ever-looming TBR is always ahead. I did fairly well on my TBR list from October, reading 13 from the list and a couple of other additions getting to 15 books read, which is one below target. For those that don’t know it, it is Non-Fiction November too.  #NonfictionNovember is a month-long nonfiction reading initiative hosted by @abookolive. You can find her on #booktube to find out more. I will mostly be reading non-fiction as ever, but have a couple of fiction books that I am committed to reading. 

Anyway, onto my TBR for the coming month:

      Thank you, Liz.

  2. Oooh, I’m so glad you’re taking part in Non-Fiction November – I’m always on the hunt for good NF reads, and my TBR always swells this time of year with the diverse range of books that readers find and share. Your library picks sound super interesting, looking forward to hearing what you think of them!

      My reading is non-fiction every month, I like to encourage others to read it though as it can be so good.
