Recently I‘ve been reading #onenonfictionamonth and been loving it. This is my #bookhaul from #nyc. Didn‘t realise just how non fiction focused my book buying was this week!

wanderinglynn Awesome haul! Did you take a separate suitcase just for books? 😉 5y
Mitch @wanderinglynn we took one very empty one out and brought a bulging one back! 5y

A random month...excellent short stories, thriller-like non fiction, epic storytelling, 2 books in series, eccentric dark comedy and one disappointment!

I‘ve been good with my 2019 goals - I‘ve read my #onenonfictionamonth and I‘ve completed a series. Which feels good, because I‘ve found it hard to focus a bit this month and haven‘t been seen walking around the house with my nose in a book negotiating the furniture!

Pickpick

I came across this story on This American Life. It sparked intrigue & anger over the incredulous theft from the Tring Natural History Museum of a historic collection of rare birds. It raises questions on how we value the past, as a resource for our future, the nature of obsession & the provides a glimpse into the world of passionate collectors. The story is well told & reads fast, as you race to the conclusion of the drama. #onenonfictionamonth

LeeRHarry Thought this one was great - glad you enjoyed it 😊 5y
sk888888 Loved it! One of my top ten read last year. 5y
Mitch @LeeRHarry @sk888888 Even though I knew the story, having heard the podcast..the book was a great read. The Tring museum has always been on my radar as a place to go, so next weekend a friend and I are planning a nice winter walk, taking in footpath 37 and ending at the Museum! 5y

sk888888 @Mitch that sounds great! I belong to the Delaware Valley Ornithological Society (yeah, bird nerd here) and we got to visit the stacks in the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences during a field trip, so I was astonished to read how much he stole. And crushed. But astonished. Still am. Great book - enjoy your visit to the Museum! 5y
Mitch @sk888888 amazing!👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼 5y
SamAnne It‘s my next book. I too put it on my list after listening to This American Life. And I fly fish and am a novice tyer. 5y
Mitch @SamAnne cool - hope you enjoy it 🤞🏼 5y

Despite all the celebrating December has been a great reading month...this month I‘ve travelled the US sampling great food & culture, cracked a classic, discovered I‘m not keen on vampires, but quite like witches and silkies! I‘ve walked the streets of New York and caught up on my soap operas in space!

#novemberinbooks. #onenonfictionamonth

Varied month! Didn‘t realise how blue they all were! This month I‘ve been lurking in Oxford colleges, feeling the sand at the shores of Long Island, getting involved in family drama and exploring what might happen when space highways fail. But stand out has got to be spending time with the staff who make the LA Library such a thriving community hub. ❤️

CareBear I love this description of your reading month! 💕 5y

Really enjoying this - L.A. Central Library has got to have the most fascinating history ever! #onenonfictionamonth

LeahBergen I‘m going to hear her read this month at a special event for our city‘s brand new Central Library. 👍🏻 5y
Mitch @LeahBergen oh wow. It‘s my first book of hers and I love it - it‘s so much more than the fire story. Have you read it? 5y
LeahBergen Not yet! I‘ll be buying a copy at the event. 😄 5y

Bookish_B I need to read this! I work just a couple of miles away from the central library 😊 5y
SilversReviews I have this in my TBR....glad to hear it is good. 5y
Mitch @Bookish_B @SilversReviews the history of the building and the innovation of the librarians is great. I‘m about half way through and surfing the net for how to become a librarian! 5y
SilversReviews @Mitch Ooooo...sounds wonderful. A librarian would be a marvelous job. Thanks for the info. 5y
