#OffMyShelf Nonfiction

Why I bought this book 18 years ago? 😂 I think I must have read a review, probably in EW? Glad this challenge finally made me pick it up. I too rarely read nonfiction - this was about Mary Shelly‘s half-sister‘s short life. Quite sad but I found it interesting. How Fanny‘s might have been different had her mother lived. Since little is known about Fanny Wollstonecraft, a lot of the book is more about her famous family.

February #bookspin list is ready! I finished both my #bookspin and #doublespin books in January, which i think it a first for me! And I only need one more book to get a #bookspin bingo. Here‘s hoping i can do the same in February! As before, several are just categories or challenge titles, not actual book titles, since I need the flexibility for mood reading.

Well, unbelievably there is only one week left in January, which means it's time for 2025's first mini-existential crisis!! 😂 It also happens to be time to get together your lists if you are planning to #BookSpin in February!!!

Thank you all for the well-wishes on the new house!! We are under contract and things seem to be moving smoothly so we are hoping to close by the end of February!! We've been here 10yrs so even though this move is only⬇

I‘ve been dipping in and out of this book lately and it‘s marvellous!

My #AllHallowsReadSwap arrived today! Thank you, @BookishMadHatter ! I‘m very excited! 😘😘

-Not the tagged book- Audible Original Podcast offered this six-part series about Arthur Conan Doyle, and I was intrigued to learn about his personal life and the creation of Holmes. There‘s a lot of information packed into this two-hour podcast. I recommend giving this a listen if you're interested in learning the highlights of Doyle‘s life.

Complete your graphic novel bingo with this book about Percy Bysshe Shelley‘s famous Peterloo poem that doubles as a mini biography of women‘s labor activist Pauline Newman. 🔥

This was interesting and extensively researched. I'm low-key fascinated by the Shakespeare authorship question. I'm team Kit Marlow. 😉
