What non-fiction books did you read this year?
Carpe Librum!
Some interesting titles here. Well done !
ReplyDeleteThanks May, any of these catch your fancy?
ReplyDeleteTracey, I thought I might give War Diaries, Nurses at the Front a go. Sometimes we forget the role that nurses, and women in general, played throughout periods of conflict.
ReplyDeleteI aim to read more Non Fiction this year. Your list makes it look easier to achieve than first anticIpated.
Happy New Year,Tracey, and readers!
I can highly recommend War Diaries, Nurses at the Front. In fact, the family member involved in making these diaries public contacted me a few weeks ago and thanked me for my review. It was incredibly nice of him and he also gave me a link to the complete original text.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well in your aim to read more non fiction books this year; it's certainly easier than it sounds and there's an abundance of different topics and areas of interest.
