Nonfiction November 2026 – Book Pairings

It’s Week 3 of Nonfiction November, this week hosted by Liz at Adventures in Reading, Running and Working From Home. The task? Pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. This is my absolute favourite #NFN exercise.

Mushrooms and death – The Mushroom Tapes by Helen Garner, Chloe Hooper and Sarah Krasnostein and The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood

Cooker science? You decide – The Woman Who Fooled the World by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano and Cure by Katherine Brabon

Wind as a feature (I am so here for it) – A Truce That is Not Peace by Miriam Toews and Helm by Sarah Hall

Being a bit obsessed about a celebrity – This Is Not a Book about Benedict Cumberbatch by Tabitha Carvan and Sophie, Standing There by Meg Mason

…and allow me some nonfiction and television matches…

Organ donation – The Story of a Heart by Rachel Clarke and Dear Life

Love and AI – Love Machines by James Muldoon and Her

Succession plans – Bonfire of the Murdochs by Gabriel Sherman and Succession

Past book pairings posts – here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here (told you it was my favourite!).
