It’s #NonFicNov month: we’re encouraged to read non-fiction (or analyze past non-fiction reads). To ease the way, Shelf Aware, Doing Dewey, Julz Reads, and What’s Nonfiction have some cool weekly prompts to ponder.
This week we round-up all the wonderful book recommendations that we picked up in November from fellow #NonFicNov bloggers.
The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power by Dierdre Mask
She Has Her Mother’s Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity by Carl Zimmer
The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love by Oscar Hijuelos
The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
The Wild Girl by Kate Forsyth
Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Keefe
Paris Without End: The True Story of Hemingway’s First Wife by by Gioia Diliberto
The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi
A Fairy Tale Revolution Series (Hansel & Greta, Blueblood, Duckling, Cinderella Liberator)
Did I Say That Out Loud by Kristin van Ogtrop and World Travel: An Irreverent Guide by Anthony Bourdain
I probably missed out a lot more suggestions because I forgot to track them over the course of this month. Especially the bloggers on Blogspot. And now comment history is inaccessible for me… Rookie mistakes! 🙁

Ooooh The Monster of Florence sounds indeed great. I love me some true crime!
Yes! And oh, that cover….
Monster of Florence is a good one, too! I can’t wait to hear what you think of Paris Without End…
All thanks to you and NFN! 😀
The Salt Path – so amazing!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 🙂 It looks like you added some great titles this month!
I sure did! I love reading blogs and always keep a separate document for noting down recs. Alas for my TBR pile…
You have pointed out many titles I missed. So hard to keep up with it all, but so great to have all these new suggestions for books. I keep reading about The Salt Path and it sounds very good.

Haha, yes, this has been a stressful month for those TBR muscles. 🙂 Salt Path does sound (and look) awesome. Thanks for visiting!
Wow lots of new books to get your teeth into! Enjoy! 😃
Phew! Running to catch up with that TBR! 😀 😀
So happy I could give you some reading ideas! I really want to read The Address Book too.
It does look awesome. Thanks for the great meme 🙂
I learnt my lesson about keeping track of my picks last year 🙂 Glad to have contributed to your NonFicNov TBR list
Haha, yes, I see that now. Thanks for NFN! 🙂
Monster of Florence and The Wild Girl were both really good.
I’ve never read any of Anthony Bourdain’s books. I may even own Kitchen Confidential. I know my husband did at one point. I liked his shows when I watched them so I really need to actually read some of his work.
“Monster of Florence and The Wild Girl were both really good.” I’ll take your word for it 🙂
And I didn’t know about Kitchen Confidential! Thanks for the heads-up
Ooh, I second the recommendations of Say Nothing and The Address Book. And I also want to get to She Has Her Mother’s Laugh and The Monster of Florence. Thanks for joining us this month!
Say Nothing seriously wins the list!
Thanks for hosting this great meme. It made non-fiction so much fun 🙂
