November is one of my favourite months and I’m extremely glad that so many bookish events are being organised in the bookish side of the internet. I have decided to participate in two this time around but I don’t want to be too ambitious with my TBR lists because I’m the worst in time management.
Starting off with German Literature Month, I have two books lined up:
- Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada
- Letter from an Unknown Woman by Stefan Zweig
As for Non-Fiction November, my list comprises of the following:
- No Time to Spare by Ursula Le Guin
- Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life by Ruth Franklin
- Why Read the Classics? by Italo Calvino
I’m very excited about both events and, of course, I’ve already started my reading 😉 Are you participating in any of those events?
I’m participating in Non-Fiction November, I have never heard of German Literature month, I’ll have to keep an eye out for that next year
You still have time to participate this year if you’d like 🙂
Memoirs of a Polar Bear is fabulous!
It’s one of the books in my list that I’m most looking forward to!
Ooh, why didn’t I know Ursula Le Guin had written non-fiction? Am going to have to hunt that one down.
It will actually be released on 5 December! It’s some of her blog posts assembled and re-ordered thematically, but her writings are always a pleasure to read 🙂
Good luck with these events and happy reading! While I’ve not officially signed up for Non-Fiction November, I do hope to continue my non-fiction reading and hopefully get something posted during the month 🙂
Thank you, Jessica! I’m looking forward to your posts 🙂
Thank you Akylina 🙂
