November #MonthlyNonfiction2025 reads @julieclair
#NonfictionNovember was a busy one ☺️

julieclair Wow, great month! Rediscovering Turtle Island looks interesting to me. Sea Turtles have been coming to Hilton Head Island, SC, where I live, for hundreds of years. The idea of seeing a “turtle island” through the eyes of First Nation people sounds fascinating. 6d

Updated schedule for #SheSaid!

We had 1 book with 5 votes (Wild Swans) and 4 with 4 votes. I added them all to our schedule for 2026 along with our 2 fiction reads. I did bump Wild Swans back to March, so we could read it and the follow-up book by the author after (and hopefully 🤞 when the hold lines at the library are not so long for a new release 😬). Then there were about 12 books tied after that…so new vote this summer.

The Elephant Scientist | Caitlin O'Connell, Donna M. Jackson

I‘d bring this book into the classroom when my students are working on animal research. It would be especially helpful for anyone who picks elephants as their topic.

Mehso-so

The Elephant Scientist is written in a way that‘s really straightforward and simple to follow. The ideas are explained clearly, making the science easy to understand. It‘s well-matched to its readers because it uses accessible language and real-life photographs to hold attention. The authors keep it engaging by blending scientific details with their own experiences, which helps readers stay curious and learn more about elephants and how

Time for our last #MonthlyNonfiction2025 selection of the year! What will everyone be reading? My choice is Rick Steves‘ European Christmas.

We will be continuing for 2026. Please comment below if you‘d like to be added to, or removed from, the tag list.

Everyone is welcome! The challenge is simple: read one nonfiction book each month.

Tagging all who participated this year. It has been fun exploring nonfiction together!

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I did horribly this year! But please keep me on the tag list. I'm hoping to do a better job next year. I cannot promise to go through the categories in order, though. 🤣 1w
ReadingInTheRealWorld Please add me to the list. 🙂 1w
TheAromaofBooks I actually have read a nonfiction book from my personal collection for every section this year!!! I'm super pleased with my progress, so keep me on your list!! This month, I'm finishing (or trying to!) Agatha Christie's autobiography that I started at the beginning of November. It's so good but THICK 😂 1w

willaful @TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed that, I recall. Her second memoir is on my #10BeforeTheEnd but I stupidly loaned it to my mom! 1w
willaful I've been reading mostly memoirs, should make an effort to diversify next year. 1w
MonicaLoves2Read I'm going to read Ain't Nobody‘s Fool: The Life & Times of Dolly Parton by Martha Ackmann 1w
peanutnine I tried to read at least one book in each category and I've got one left for Language that I'll be reading for December! 1w
TheAromaofBooks @willaful - Oooo what is the title of that one? I may have to read it next! Her writing style is so friendly and companionable. It's like having a visit with a favorite auntie. 😂 1w
willaful @TheAromaofBooks It's about her second marriage to an archeologist and called Come Tell Me How You Live. Seems absolutely charming! (edited) 1w
TheAromaofBooks @willaful - I will definitely check it out!! It's interesting because it looks like she actually wrote that before her longer autobiography, so I bet they would complement each other and fill in some gaps!! 1w
