Welcome to Litsy!

Repost for @julieclair
Only 5% of my 2024 reading was nonfiction. I need to up my game. I have decided to challenge myself to read at least one nonfiction book per month (preferably one I already own). Anyone want to join me?

We can post using the hashtag #MonthlyNonfiction2025.

All are welcome!

These holds came in at the same time 😱 I read non-fiction at a snails pace, and now I have to read two(!) in three weeks? 😵 (In addition to 7 more fiction longlist books in two weeks 😅)
Well, I hope these read faster than Doppelganger at least. 😂

That‘s a wrap on #nonfictionnovember for me - I liked most of what I read, which is a plus for sure. I‘ll continue to try to primarily read nonfic throughout December, tho, to see if I can get a 50/50 balance of fix-nonfic for the year #fingerscrossedicandoit #thoithinkcomicswillwinmyattention 😅

I did the monthly non-fiction challenge last year and can‘t wait to do this one too! #nonfiction2019

Ooh, a very nicely color coordinated collection of things! Very soothing. You‘ve got good taste @Kalalalatja ! (And I‘m glad you used ribbon, I can use it in my crafts projects!) #2018nonfictionbookexchange

1️⃣ Nonfiction usually history; Buddhism
2️⃣ Slinging sub sandwiches at Blimpie‘s
3️⃣ night shift med/surg charge nurse
4️⃣ nurse 4-ever 💉
5️⃣ cappuccino and then coffee ☕️

I posted my #2018NFBE package yesterday! Delivery expected on Monday @inwhichHeikereadsharder 📦📚

I‘ve received my parcel for #nonfictionbookexchange! From Denmark, so it hasn‘t traveled very far, but I‘m super excited about it 😁

It's on the way and should be there Friday. #2018NFBE #bookswap #can'twait

I‘ve been a terrible Litten lately! I sent my #2018nonfictionbookexchange package yesterday but didn‘t manage to take a picture of it (it was a boring looking box anyway!). The inside stuff is ok though 😁

Look what arrived today - thanks so much @MallenNC !! 💚

I have finally gotten these two books wrapped and ready to go with some bookish goodies. I will send them out this afternoon, and I‘m pretty sure they will get there in time 🤞 #2018nonfictionbookexchange #2018nfbe

Pretty darn sure this came from @britt_brooke ... am I right? Just 15 days to wait and to get mine sent out! #2018nonfictionbookexchange #2018nfbe

It has arrived! Well, it arrived last night but waited till this morning for a non-shadowy picture.
Thank you @batsy !
Can't wait until 15 March so have put it in a corner of my room with the hopes of staving off my itchy fingers. 😂😂

I will definitely be doing this challenge! I significantly increased the amount of nonfiction I read in 2017 and #nonfiction2018 will help me keep my momentum.

Ok, I did the math & according to GR‘s I‘ve finished 45 non-fiction reads in 2017. For those of you thinking about #Nonfiction2018 notice there is everything from a picture books of protest signs, to graphic novel memoirs, short essays, collections of letters, celebrity stories, some politics, healthcare, race, Russia, immigration, humor, science, & history all mixed up in there, sometimes all in the same story. Really the choices are limitless.

I love reading nonfiction and definitely want to do more of it. This is a good challenge from @Riveted_Reader_Melissa One nonfiction per month in 2018. #nonfiction2018

I don't normally do reading challenges outside the Goodreads Challenge because I'm afraid I won't finish them. However, I think I might be able to finish this one. One of my goals for 2018 is to read more nonfiction. I think this will help that goal. I'll be make a tentative list by the 1st from my current #tbr pile. #nonfiction2018 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Want to read more nonfiction? Here‘s a great way to up your game to one book a month. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

#nonfiction2018

Nonfiction Challenge 2018!

I‘ll be carrying on what @Booksandcooks started last year.

The challenge is to read 1 non-fiction book for each month in 2018.

The tag will be #nonfiction2018

#Nonfiction2017 complete! Thanks for the challenge @Booksandcooks I not only read one a month, but quite a few more. 👍

#ChallengeCompleted2017

These are all my non-fiction books. I am going to attempt to organize them by subject. It‘s going to be complete chaos 😂😂

Tonight's read!!! #teacherlife #starttheyearstrong #grit

Good morning Littens! Happy Monday! Wishing you all a great week ahead. ☺️

Does anyone know anything about this app? I believe you get a free trial, but then it's a pay-as-you-go. Any experience with it? Good? Eh? Not worth it??
Thanks!

Alright Litsy people- I'm at that point in writing my new book where I can't read fiction for a while because it influences me too much. In the past month I've written some bad Denis Johnson and some very bad DF Wallace. So bottom line: I need some nonfiction recommendations. I'll read anything.
