Argh! Three excellent reading challenges for the month of November – what will I do? How can I squeeze them all in?!
Week 1: (Oct. 28 to Nov. 1) – Julz Reads hosting Your Year in Nonfiction
Week 2: (Nov. 4 to 8) – Sarah’s Bookshelves hosting – Book Pairing
Week 3: (Nov. 11 to 15) – Doing Dewey hosting Be The Expert/Ask the Expert/Become the Expert
Week 4: (Nov. 18 to 22) – Shelf Aware hosting Nonfiction Favourites
Week 5: (Nov. 25 to 29) – What’s Nonfiction hosting New to My TBR
Hosted by Lizzy’s Literary Life and Beauty is a Sleeping Cat (find the German Literature Month blog here).
Although I would love to join in the Berlin Alexanderplatz read-along, realistically I won’t fit it in with the other reading challenges. So, I’m thinking:
- Heimat by Nora Krug
- Flights of Love by Bernhard Schlink
- The End of Days by Jenny Erpenbeck
- Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig
- Red Love by Maxim Leo
Confession With Blue Horses by Sophie Hardach is burning a hole in my reading pocket but as it was not originally published in German, it doesn’t meet the one and only rule of German Literature Month.
Hosted by Brona.
There are no excuses not to combine Aus Reading Month with Nonfiction November – Brona has put together an extensive list that covers both. However, on my Aus list are some new releases and some from my TBR stack.
- Night Fishing by Vicki Hastrich
- Act of Grace by Anna Krien
- Honour and Other People’s Children by Helen Garner
- The Paper House by Anna Spargo-Ryan
- Letters to the End of Love by Yvette Walker
- A Small Madness by Dianne Touchell
I’m unlikely to get through this reading feast but will have fun trying.
I have Sophie Hardach’s novel too. Perhaps we can read together in the New Year?
That sounds like an excellent plan!
Don’t forget Margaret Atwood Reading Month and Novellas in November! Those will be my two main projects for the month, though I may also do one or two Nonfiction posts to tie in.
Argh! I need to find some Aus or German novellas to be able to tick a few more boxes…
Confession with Blue Horses has been burning a hole in my reading pocket too! Thanks for the reminder. 😁
Feel like joining Lizzy and I in a new year read-together of this one?
Yes! Count me in.
Brona’s challenge will do me. All 9 boxes? Maybe.
Nine boxes? Well it is called a ‘challenge’ for a reason 😀
aaaaaaagh!
I will try to do some of the Non-Fiction November again. That’s always a fun challenge. But, as for the rest … hmmm.
My November is looking insanely busy so I think I shall be enjoying these challenges from afar! They all look great though- its a problem of plenty 🙂
Good Luck!
