Nonfiction November 2026: Week 1



Hosted by Heather. Heather is a veterinarian living in Ohio who blogs at Based on a True Story. She reads all genres but really loves nonfiction and fantasy.

Week 1: (November 2 to November 8) – My Year in Nonfiction - Celebrate your year of nonfiction. What books have you read? What were your favorites? Have you had a favorite topic? Is there a topic you want to read about more?  What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November? 

This year, I have read 12 nonfiction books (so far), and they were (almost) all really good. The links go to my reviews. I have a few more nonfiction books on my TBR shelf and hope this month will get me to read them!
