Hey everyone!
November is over and that means, sadly enough, that Nonfiction November is also over. It was a really productive and fun reading month, even though I didn’t get around to one book on my TBR. I reread When Women Ruled the World, which was even more amazing being read by the author and my favorite book was The Edge of the World. It was beyond fascinating!

Have you read any of these books?
What was your favorite book of the month?
It’s kind of sad when an event you love comes to an end, but sort of a relief too? Now you can read whatever you want. That’s sort of how I feel about Sci Fi Month😁
Well you had a great month Stephanie! I too read 11 books 😉
Nonfiction November is one of my favourite challenges as well. I read five books, and one poetry book, Catullus, during this month. All of them about Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. The best books were Alexander the Great by Philip Freeman, and a Swedish book De kom, de såg, de segrade (They Came, They Saw, They Won) by Daniel Hermansson. It is the story of the four greatest military strategists; Alexander, Hannibal, Scipio Africanus and Julius Ceasar. Very interesting.
I see you also read a few interesting books about the old times. I find it really fascinating.
What a great reading month! I only managed one nonfiction book this month, but it was a chunker!
Hey one is better than none!
Hmm, no 5/5 books for you this last month? Still, the books selected seem pretty unique – esp. The Edge of the World (and what a great cover too!). And I’ve come across rave reviews for The Woman in Me too
No, but I feel like I’m just super critical these days haha
Glad you had a fun Nonfiction November! I read The Woman in Me recently too and enjoyed it, though it’s the only nonfiction I’ve read 🙂
One nonfiction is better than none! 😀
