What nonfiction books have you read this year?
I would love to read more about ancient history, so your picks always inspire me!
It looks like a very good year for non fiction! I have read…zero non fiction this year, lol. But that’s OK. 😁
A lot of interesting historical nonfiction there. I have read 21 nonfiction books this year. My post here: https://www.thecontentreader.com/post/nonfiction-november-2024-week-one
Holy WOW! So many excellent Great Courses! I am intrigued by the Real History of Dracula – the Field Museum has an exhibit on blood suckers and that was my favorite part.
