Hi Tracy, I concur I don’t usually read much nonfiction books either but I do have a lot lying around. We will see if I can get through some. The bird books look good.
I’m glad you mentioned that title by Volker Ullrich … I read something similar last year titled The Last Days of Hitler by Hugh Trevor-Roper in which I learned about things at the very end and thereafter. Both books seem interesting. There were many developments at Germany’s end in the war that I didn’t know about. I think for a while the Nazis thought they could negotiate their way and terms which was crazy. Have a great week. And Happy November.

Hi Helen, I agree, Nuremberg looks good. And I just finished the audio of H Is for Hawk. I enjoyed it. I will get to Master Slave sometime. Plenty of nonfiction to get to. Enjoy your reads. Happy November.

Hi JoAnn, I look forward to hearing about The Gods of New York. I don’t know that book – I think. I’m sort of flooded by books to read at the moment — both fiction and nonfiction. I’ll see what other nonfiction books you have on your list. And I’m glad you were for the Jays. It was a good & very close series.
Hopefully the movies will be good this late fall season. Enjoy your reads. Happy November!

I did just finish a nonfiction book, though. It was one of Glen’s books about World War II. The title is Eight Days in May: The Final Collapse of the Third Reich by a German author, Volker Ullrich. It covers the events that took place in Germany in the eight days following Hitler’s death by suicide on April 30, 1945. Very interesting, and I learned a lot.

I saw a trailer for the Nuremberg movie and think it looks good.

Hi Lesley, thanks, the photos this time of year are quite good with the views and changing seasons. Maybe not as good as the coast there but not shabby either, lol.
The World Series was one of the best I’ve seen in many, many years, and I think the Jays surprised quite a few people with how well they did. But it kills me to be that close to a win and then muff it up a couple times …. first with the HR with 4 outs left then the double play ball with a man on third. That stuff just guts you. Watching in real time was intense that night, lol.
I have a lot of books on deck right now so it seems a bit crazy. I’m reading The Art Thief but might start Memorial Days too. I look forward to hearing about the memoirs you’ve got. I will try an O’Nan novel next year – perhaps Emily, Alone.
Hamnet looks to be a sad one … and I’m interested in Nuremberg too. I might check out Cemetery Road. Cheers! Happy November.

Good selection of nonfiction! I’ve read H Is for Hawk and The Backyard Bird Chronicles. I have Memorial Days in my stacks, too. I think I might have read A Backward Glance many years ago, but I don’t remember a thing about it. I read a lot of Wharton back in the 90s.

The Land in Winter sounds intriguing. Not sure about Atwood’s memoir since I’m not really a huge fan of her writing. I’ll wait to read your thoughts on that one. I read the new Stewart O’Nan novel and was somewhat disappointed. I had hoped for more, especially since I loved Emily, Alone and Henry, Himself.

I’m looking forward to watching Nuremberg. Looks like a good cast! I’m also excited about Hamnet. Die My Love sounds unsettling, though! Maybe the scenery will make it worthwhile. We started Down Cemetery Road tonight and think it’s going to be good!

Stay warm!

Hi Hena, yeah without daylight savings time here, we are headed into a dark winter hole, argh.
I hope these reads aren’t too serious, lol. Luckily most of the nonfiction books pictured aren’t too dense and I hope interesting. Cheers! Happy November.

Thanks Carmen. Good to hear. That’s not too bad. We too are either in the 40s or 50s during the day. But the mornings are in the 30s!
