This past week was all about nonfiction here on the blog. I’ve been missing nonfiction lately, feeling like I’m not reading enough, so on Monday I announced my intention to read more this year. I also got some great recommendations from all of you. This week I reviewed four works of nonfiction. Two in print:
And two in audio:
I have at least four works of nonfiction on the docket for February as well:
Plus, I’ll be reading some fairy tale crit, but probably not any whole works.

Can’t wait to read your review of 13 rue Therese. Sounds great!
Ooh, I have She-Wolves too and I am really looking forward to it! The previous book I read by Helen Castor, War and Roses, was really fabulous, so I’m expecting great things.
Oh, that’s good to know! I am fascinated by the concept, but didn’t know anything about the author.
Good week! I am not a huge nonfiction fan, but I’m anxious to hear your thoughts. I have 13 rue Therese in my TBR pile.
I keep seeing these Maisie Dobbs books everywhere. My wife did read the first one and enjoyed it; the second one, not as much. I guess I need to check it out here soon…meaning sometime this year, I will.
That’s interesting, I liked this second one much better, it was much more in Maisie’s present, not so much backstory.
That’s funny, I wrote about non-fiction this week too.
Inventing George Washington is on my list and I’ll need to look into She-Wolves too.
13 Rue Therese and She-Wolves are both on my shelves patiently waiting for me. You KNow When the Men Are Gone was brilliant and reminded me just how much I do enjoy short stories. I am quite a Maisie Dobbs fan. You have a lovely selection of books. Enjoy!
I was just noticing that I’ve been on a non-fiction kick lately too. Two books in a row in fact with two more lined up for February. I am feeling the urge to read something lighter though, so I have a feeling March may be a heavy YA month for me!
I’m not the biggest non-fiction reader but usually give anything a go! Ok, I am wanting to read more this year but find I’m so distracted with other things. How do you find time to read? Do you have kids, a housekeeper, lol?

I have a toddler, a full-time job, and a fledgling business. No housekeeper. It is about making reading a priority and always having book immediately handy for those occasions when there is time to read. Audiobooks also increase my available reading time (car, cleaning, cooking).
