#SheSaid

I started putting the voting together but noticed that both myself & a few others were running behind on our reading lately AND that we had very few fiction nominations for December.

So for November: catch-up on any of your #SheSaid books that you want/need, or dive into something and tell us about it. I‘m hoping to catch up &
reread Wild by Cheryl Strayed.

And nominate a few fiction choices for December in the comments below.

Karisa I‘ve just started Nobody‘s Girl, the memoir released last week by one of Epstein‘s victims. Sad but important read. It feels like it‘s release was kind of buried last week with all the chaos lately. Also, the author committed suicide in the spring so maybe that‘s why it doesn‘t have as much attention… 10h

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Also it is Non-fiction November, so if anyone saw any good challenges for that this month, let us know. 10h
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Karisa That is on my to read list. I nominated it to be in the vote. I thought about just making it November‘s pick, but I know many will struggle to get it at the library right after it‘s release date. But I think it is going to be an essential read for everyone in the current world . 10h
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Maybe just junk the fiction for December and make that December‘s 🤷‍♀️ 10h
MallenNC I like the idea of having a free for all in November! I‘ll tag a few fiction books that I‘ve had on my TBR for a while. 9h
MallenNC And American Daughters by Piper Huguley 9h
Suet624 Trespasses is so darn good I‘d read it a second time. 8h
Bookwormjillk Great idea!!!! 7h
KathyWheeler I like the idea of a catchup month. I‘m really behind. 6h
Bookwormjillk Trespasses sounds really good! But I‘m up for whatever. 4h

Hello Nonfiction fans! What will everyone be reading for November?

For those who like to plan ahead, I will be continuing #MonthlyNonfiction2025 next year, but dropping the year from the name, so the new hashtag will be simply #MonthlyNonfiction. Same rules: read at least one nonfiction book each month. I‘ll do a StoryGraph challenge as well, for those who like to track that way.

mcctrish I always forget this 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2d
TheBookgeekFrau I finished the challenge this month with 2d

rockpools Thanks for the tag 😊. Tracking things is completely beyond me at the moment, but my November NF read will either be this one about the importance of racial diversity in children‘s books (and classic literature etc): 2d
rockpools Or, if I actually get that read in October, Novembers might be about swifts, and the campaign to make swift bricks compulsory in uk new-builds. Although having just opened it, the font size is horrible, so I may not get through it… 2d
ferskner I failed miserably this year (due to other reading projects) but I'm eager to try again next year! 1d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I wanted to read 1 NF book per month this year, and that didn't happen. Fingers crossed that I do better next year. 🤦🏼‍♀️ 1d
Rissreadswithcats It has been a very busy year this year for me so I haven‘t reached my goal but I‘m keen to try again next year! 🩷 1d
TheAromaofBooks While I have done a terrible job posting about it, I've actually been keeping up on this challenge!! I haven't picked out my November book yet, but I seem to have two shelves of biographies, so it shouldn't be a problem 😂 18h
julieclair @mcctrish I find that challenges like this one, where everyone reads a different book and there‘s no discussion, are easier to forget about. But I also love challenges like this because there‘s no pressure to keep up. I‘m definitely into no-stress low-key these days! 😘 16h
julieclair @TheBookgeekFrau I have been wanting to read that! 16h
julieclair @rockpools Both of these sound like important books. I had no idea swifts were endangered in Britain. 😢 16h
julieclair @ferskner @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Rissreadswithcats I hear you! I missed some months, too, but overall I read more nonfiction than I would have without the challenge. Glad you‘re all continuing for 2026! 😀 16h
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Woo hoo! And… the reading is more important than the posting. 😉 Two shelves of biographies…. obviously all shelved together…. you‘ve come a long way from earlier this year when you had moved to a new house and were randomly pulling books out of boxes, lol. Good work!👍 16h

This is a reread for me. I read it back in 2001 and struggled with it. This time I had more things to make connections to that helped with my understanding. I‘m glad I reread it.

A memoir of Conroy's time teaching at a small school on Yamacraw Island in 1969. A desegregation coming-of-age story of sorts for him. It was interesting to see the origins of characters that appeared in his later books.

69/80
