Week 5 (November 29-December 3): New to My TBR
Jaymi at The OC Book Girl
📚📚📚
The last week is always both sad and joyful. Sad because Non-fiction November comes to an end. Joyful because we get to look at our TBR piles and see what books we have added lately. I must say, I tend to read the non-fiction books faster than the fiction ones, so there are not that many on my TBR pile but I still had a few to choose from.
Some of the books on my list have not been translated into English [translated title in square brackets and italics]. Yet, I hope. But there are still quite a few that are either English in the original or have been translated.
Bythell, Shaun "Confessions of a Bookseller" - 2019
Hawes, James "The Shortest History of Germany - A Retelling for Our Times" - 2017 (Goodreads)
Körner, Torsten "In der Männer-Republik. Wie Frauen die Politik eroberten" (GE) [In the men's republic: how women conquered politcs] - 2020 (Goodreads)

A Woman of Egypt is really good; I have that one. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, nice. Thanks, Lark. Let's compare our experiences once we get to the books.
DeleteInteresting list. Peter Ackroyd is always good. Your list really highlight the many different ways there is to view a country.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Lisbeth. I hadn't realized that most of those books are about a country. But that's what I'm most interested in, so maybe not that surprising.
DeleteYour book lists are always impressive and ambitious! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. I'm glad you enjoy them and I hope I can inspire other readers to read some of the books I loved.
