It’s been a wonderful month of sharing and celebrating with nonfiction bloggers!
Now it’s time to wrap it all up with Jaymi @ The OC BookGirl hosting this final week.
“It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books! Which ones have made it onto your TBR? Be sure to link back to the original blogger who posted about that book! Pro tip: Start this draft post at the beginning of the month and add to it as your TBR multiplies.”
As usual I’ve discovered enough nonfiction reading to keep me fully occupied until at least next November. Here’s what’s new on my TBR.
(I’ll add hyperlinks to the book titles pointing to my reviews as I post them.)

Wonderful list! I had zero self-control in making mine. I hope you enjoy Sherlock!

Self-control & books don’t go together for me either! 🙂

I’m glad you kept such a thorough list of books you gathered from Nonfiction November. I usually start off well at the beginning of the month, but by the end, I just go straight to get the Kindle sample without noting where I got the recommendation. 🙂 You have several books listed here that I missed on touring other blogs, so I’m grateful for your self-discipline to list them!

I learned after the first couple of years to keep a running list. Otherwise it’s too hard to write the final week’s post, and I miss stuff myself. I’m glad this list helps you too. 🙂

DIGITAL HELL is one I also added to my TBR. These posts continue to grow my list… THE SOUND OF A WILD SNAIL EATING has caught my eye.

I love your well organized list, although it also reminds me that this is actually one of the most dangerous weeks for growing my TBR – seeing what everyone else has added always makes me want to add more books to my own list too!

Thanks! I feel the same – I add so many books to my list it’s just ridiculously ambitious. But, oh well, nothing exceeds like excess!
