Nonfiction November 2025

November is almost over and so are the Nonfiction November challenges. As last year, I have not had the time and energy to participate every week but I want to do a little overview over my nonfiction year.

This is the schedule and the hosts for 2025:

Week 1 (10/27-11/2) Your Year in Nonfiction: Celebrate your year of nonfiction. What books have you read? What were your favorites? Have you had a favorite topic? Is there a topic you want to read about more?  What are you hoping to get out of participating in Nonfiction November?
Heather @ Based on a True Story 

Week 2 (11/3-11/10) Choosing Nonfiction: What are you looking for when you pick up a nonfiction book? Do you have a particular topic you’re attracted to? Do you have a particular writing style that works best? When you look at a nonfiction book, does the title or cover influence you? If so, share a title or cover which you find striking.
Frances @ Volatile Rune 

Week 3 (11/11-11/18) Book Pairings: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. Maybe it’s a historical novel and the real history in a nonfiction version, or a memoir and a novel, or a fiction book you’ve read and you would like recommendations for background reading. You can be as creative as you like!
Liz – Adventures in Reading, Running and Working from Home 

Week 4 (11/18-11/25) Worldview Shapers: One of the greatest things about reading nonfiction is learning all kinds of things about our world which you never would have known without it. There’s the intriguing, the beautiful, the appalling, and the profound. What nonfiction book or books have impacted the way you see the world in a powerful way? Is there one book that made you rethink everything? Do you think there is a book that should be required reading for everyone? (Rebekah)

Rebekah – She Seeks Nonfiction 

Week 5 (11/26-12/2) New To My TBR: It’s been a month full of amazing nonfiction books! Which ones have made it onto your TBR? Be sure to link back to the original blogger who posted about that book!

2022

Harris, Kamala "107 Days"

Harris, Kamala "107 Days" - 2025

This is one of the great women of our time, the great people of our time. If she were a man, she would have won, I am sure of that.

Whenever I see an article of Kamala Harris or see her on TV or on the internet, she always has something important to say. She is so smart and caring.

What a shame she came against such an ignoramus, someone who isn't just uneducated and, well, everything but smart. He said it himself, he loves the uneducated. And he does everything so that the rest of the nation stays like that so they will carry on voting for him.

Obviously, you can get really mad when you learn about the tactics with which he convinced uninformed people.

Well, enough about that guy. Let's get on to the subject of this book, Kamala Harris.

I just imagine what this world would have looked like if they had real elections in the States and nothing of this gerrymandering and "popular" votes etc. If she had won fair and square.

One thing is sure: this world would be such a better place if there were more Kamalas and fewer Donalds. I hope many young women will read this and find encouragement and inspiration in her doings.

Book Description:

"For the first time, and with surprising and revealing insights, Kamala Harris tells the story of one of the wildest and most consequential presidential campaigns in American history.

Your Secret Service code name is Pioneer.

You are the first woman in history to be elected vice president of the United States.

On July 21, 2024, your running mate, Joe Biden, announces that he will not be seeking reelection.

The presidential election will occur on November 5, 2024.

You have 107 days.

Written with candor, a unique perspective, and the pace of a page-turning novel, 107 Days takes you inside the race for the presidency as no one has ever done before."

This was a present from my son who knows how much I love her.

#ThrowbackThursday. November 2015

I've been doing ThrowbackThursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. So, I listed more than one Throwback book every week. Now, I have reached the ones I posted ten years ago and will probalby just post one every month. These are my reviews from November 2015.

Fowler, Christopher "Hell Train" - 2011

The story is interesting, even though I wouldn't normally pick one of these. The characters, four people who happen to meet in a train, are well described, each and every one of them comes alive well. I did like the folk tales people were telling each other about the train, stories they had heard as children and lived with all their lives.

Gaskell, Elizabeth "North and South" - 1854/55

In this novel, we hear the story of Margaret Hale whose father leaves the ministry because he has doubts about his belief. They move from the South of England to a place in the North, from a village to a town, a lot of things change for Margaret Hale.

Top Twelve Tuesday ~ Modern Classics

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.

Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

This week's topic is Modern Books You Think Will Be Classics In The Future
A modern classic, then, would have to be a book written after World War I, and probably after World War II.

I could have listed a hundred since there are so many great books that I believe will be classics in the future. But here are twelve. 

Adichie, Chimamanda Ngozi "Half of a Yellow Sun" - 2006

Brooks, Geraldine "People of the Book" - 2008
Chevalier, Tracy "Remarkable Creatures" - 2009

Ghosh, Amitav "The Glass Palace" - 2000 

Haig, Matt "The Midnight Library" - 2020

Lamb, Wally "The Hour I First Believed" - 2008

Morrison, Toni "A Mercy" - 2008   

Oates, Joyce Carol "The Man Without a Shadow" - 2016

Pamuk, Orhan "The Museum of Innocence" (TR: Masumiyet Müzesi) - 2008

Ruiz Zafón, Carlos "The Shadow of the Wind" (E: La sombra del viento - El cementerio de los libros olvidados #1) - 2001

Towles, Amor "A Gentleman in Moscow" - 2016

Zusak, Markus "The Book Thief" - 2005

Some of these authors have written earlier books where I am even more convinced that they will become classics, but I have tried to stick to books written in this century.

📚 Happy Reading 📚

Faulkner, William "The Sound and the Fury"

Faulkner, William "The Sound and the Fury" - 1929

For the Classics Spin #42, we received #17 and this was my novel. When I revealed this to the other bloggers, I got a lot of comments that people did not like the book at all. But I was determined to like it. After all, I loved "Light in August" by the same author.

However, this is not comparable to the first of his books that I read. I think I agree with most of the other readers.

But let's get to the book.

In one of the reviews (see here), I read "I appreciated the writer's skill a lot more than I enjoyed reading the novel." I think that hits the nail on its head. Another one compared it with "Look Homeward, Angel" which I could also agree on. Another Southern US writer whom you might only want to follow, if you are a Southerner yourself.

I'm sure you guessed it, this wasn't my favourite book of the year. But I appreciated having read it.

They mention "Ulysses" in the description. As you can see, I read that and said at the time "this is the most difficult book I have ever read". It still belongs on that list but I understood that better than this one. I also said "the longer I distance myself from this novel, the more it makes sense and the bigger an impact does it have on me." I doubt this will ever happen here but one can always hope.

I did understand the actions in the book but really didn't like a single character and couldn't follow any of their decisions.

It is also says in the description that "... in the next two sections ... the novel begins to reveal itself."

Nope, not really, it was still as confusing as before. If you're not a huge fan of stream of consciousness books, I wouldn't recommend it.

From the back cover:

"Ever since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Although it is difficult, in the same way that Ulysses is difficult, it is rewarding. Few readers can fail to become absorbed in this imaginative creation of the degenerate und disintegrating Compson family.

Faulkner does not use characters as pawns in a plot: he is interested in minds and emotions, in the interaction of characters and the way incidents and events affect individuals and their relationships. This is done by dividing the novel into four sections: the first is 'told by an idiot' - Benjy, for whom time does not exist. It is in the next two sections, when the reader hears the tale told by Benjy's two brothers, that the novel begins to reveal itself.

In essence this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?' It is a novel about intense and passionate family relationships wherein there is no love, only self-centredness.

The cover shows a detail from 'The Scarecrow' by Andrew Wyeth in the National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington."

William Faulkner received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949 "for his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel."

I contribute to this page: Read the Nobels and you can find all my blogs about Nobel Prize winning authors and their books here.

Here are all the books on my original Classics Club list.
And here is a list of all the books I read with the Classics Spin.

#ThrowbackThursday. October 2015

I've been doing ThrowbackThursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. So, I listed more than one Throwback book every week. Now, I have reached the ones I posted ten years ago and will probalby just post one every month. These are my reviews from October 2015.

Scott, Mary "One of the Family" - 1958 (see also New Zealand novels)

Another lovely book by Mary Scott. I read somewhere that it was one of her most successful ones. 

As in most books by Mary Scott (to whom I dedicated her own blog entry, see above), there are a lot of wonderful people living in the backblocks and they all help each other, the good ones win in the end.

Talshir, Anat "If I Forget Thee" (Hebr.: Im Eshkahekh) - 2010

A beautiful story about a love that overcomes all obstacles, even though a lot of problems do occur anyway. This book also tells the story of Israel, of the Jewish and Palestinian inhabitants of this country's difficult history and this was really personal.

Top Ten Tuesday ~ Books Outside My Comfort Zone

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.

Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

This week's topic is Books Outside My Comfort Zone

It is already outside my comfort zone to post about books I didn't care for that much. But since I have to list books that I wouldn't necessarily pick up - and these are mostly book club books - I don't like most of these titles. The books I care for least are chick lit, then fantasy and sci-fi.

Abe, Kōbō (安部 公房) "Inter Ice Age 4" (J: 第四間氷期/Dai yon kan pyouki) - 1959
Ballantyne, Tony "Dream London" - 2013
Groff, Lauren "Matrix" - 2021
Ihimaera, Witi "The Whale Rider" - 1987
Kafka, Franz "The Metamorphosis" (GE: Die Verwandlung) - 1912
Kimmel, Haven "A Girl Named Zippy" - 2000
Martinson, Harry "Aniara" (SW: Aniara) - 1956
McKinley, Tamara "Lands Beyond the Sea" - 2007
Moyes, Jojo "Me Before You" - 2012
Sefton, Maggie "Knit One, Kill Two" - 2005

📚 Happy Reading 📚

Murrin, Alan "The Coast Road"

Murrin, Alan "The Coast Road" - 2024

A friend had read this book and lent it to me. It sounded quite interesting, stories about Ireland often are. But, this story really could have taken place almost everywhere. There are people like that in every village. I grew up in a Catholic village in the sixties and seventies, and life there was almost like that. Actually, there are still people around who act similar. However, these characters didn't come across very likely and likeable.

So, an easy read for anyone who is looking for that. Since I usually don't, I didn't enjoy this book that much. Not my thing.

From the back cover:

"It's 1994 in County Donegal, Ireland, and everyone is talking about Colette Crowley - the writer, the bohemian, the woman who left her husband and sons to pursue a relationship with a married man in Dublin. But now Colette is back, and nobody knows why.

Returning to the community to try and reclaim her old life, Colette quickly learns that they are unwilling to give it back to her. The man to whom she is still married is denying her access to her children, and while the legalisation of divorce might be just around the corner, Colette finds herself caught between her old life and the freedom for which she risked everything. Desperate to see her children, she enlists the help of Izzy, a housewife and mother of two, and the women forge a friendship that will send them on a spiralling journey - one toward a path of self-discovery, and the other toward tragedy."

Book Quotes

"Every reading of a classic is in fact a rereading." Italo Calvino in "Why Read the Classics?" 

Somehow, he is correct, of course, though it is a first reading for me.

"Of all the worlds created by man, the world of books is the most powerful." Heinrich Heine

I could not agree more.

"The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold your interest, abandoning any that don’t, halfway or a quarter of the way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper." Polly Horvath

I thought these were the words of a student or school child, for after that the library is always the most wonderful thing. But it looks like this is a children's author.

Deresiewicz, William "A Jane Austen Education"

Deresiewicz, William "A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter" - 2011

I have read quite a few books about Jane Austen as part of the #Reading Austen project this year. And this one will be quite on top of my favourites of the year and of the books I read for the project - besides all of Jane Austen's books, of course.

What I really liked was the author linking his life to all of Jane Austen's books. It starts when he is 26 and reads his first one: Emma and ends with Sense & Sensibility when he finally meets his wife, after having told himself all the time that he would never marry.

He also didn't want to read Jane Austen, thought it would just be something like a chick lit with no content whatsoever. But he had to read the first one for a class and then found that Jane Austen has a lot to tell and to teach us.

How he develops from a conceited, big-headed young student into a decent human being, that is the background to this book. Something we can all learn from.

From the back cover:

"Before Jane Austen, William Deresiewicz was a very different young man. A sullen and arrogant graduate student, he never thought Austen would have anything to offer him. Then he read Emma — and everything changed.

In this unique and lyrical book, Deresiewicz weaves the misadventures of Austen’s characters with his own youthful follies, demonstrating the power of the great novelist’s teachings — and how, for Austen, growing up and making mistakes are one and the same. Honest, erudite, and deeply moving, A Jane Austen Education is the story of one man’s discovery of the world outside himself."

Spell the Month in Books ~ November 2025

Reviews from the Stacks

I found this on one of the blogs I follow, Books are the New Black who found it at One Book More. It was originally created by Reviews from the Stacks, and the idea is to spell the month using the first letter of book titles.

November:  Nostalgia - No further explanation given, so what is meant by that title?

I have just tried to find books that remind me of something nice, so I hope that is alright.

November

N

Simmonds, Jeremy "Number One in Heaven – The Heroes Who Died For Rock 'n' Roll" - 2006

This book doesn't just remind me of some wonderful singers that had to leave us far too early. No, the author was a member of an online book club, my very first ventures into the internet where I met some wonderful people.

O

Jason, David "Only Fools and Stories: From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost" - 2017

I didn't grow up with this series because we didn't live in England back then. But I have come to love it so much. And it stands for all the television series we used to watch in the Eighties and before.

V

Goldmann, Klaus; Wermusch, Günter "Vineta. The Rediscovery of a Sunken City" (GE: Vineta. Die Wiederentdeckung einer versunkenen Stadt) - 1999

A salute to all the people who came before us who perished, maybe not like this city that sank in the Baltic Sea but in many other ways.

E

Deary, Terry "Horrible Histories. England" - 1993ff.   

Not just in honour of a country I loved to live in but also a lovely memory of my sons' childhood.

M
Angelou, Maya "Mom & Me & Mom" - 2013
Easy to guess, right? In loving memory of my mum who left us ten years ago.

B

Dorling Kindersley "Brussels. Bruges, Ghent & Antwerp" - 2000
Still my favourite city of all. Here I met my husband and we share many happy memories from many visits afterwards. Also, today, our youngest son lives there.

E

Hamann, Brigitte "The Reluctant Empress" (GE: Elisabeth, Kaiserin wider Willen) - 1981

You know those films they repeat every year at Christmas, possibly even every day from the first of advent until Boxing Day? Well, in Germany this is "Sissi", a trilogy of the life or Empress Elisabeth of Austria. 

R

Obama, Barack & Springsteen, Bruce "Renegades: Born in the USA" - 2015 (Goodreads)

For all those who wish the times back of Barack Obama as president. (Must write a review of that book).

Happy Reading!

Six Degrees of Separation ~ We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Jackson, Shirley 
"We Have Always Lived in the Castle" - 1962

#6Degrees of Separation:

from We Have Always Lived in the Castle (Goodreads) to Carry On, Jeeves

#6Degrees is a monthly link-up hosted by Kate at Books Are My Favourite and Best. I love the idea. Thank you, Kate. See more about this challenge, its history, further books and how I found this here. 

The starter book this month is "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson. As usual, I haven't read the starter book. But I have read another book by her, "The Lottery". One of the scariest books I have ever read.

This is the description of the novel:

"Shirley Jackson's beloved gothic tale of a peculiar girl named Merricat and her family's dark secret.

Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate."

This was a nice title to find connections through words. I like that because it usually gives us a lot of different topics rather than all the same books. And I often get books I don't use so often otherwise. So we start with: The White Castle

Pamuk, Orhan "The White Castle" (TR: Beyaz Kale) - 1985
The author transports us back into the Venice and Istanbul/Constantinople of the 17th century. His tale is about two men who are as different and yet as similar as possible to each other who come from the two different parts of the world. We learn about the differences between the Orient and the Occident.

Aicher-Scholl, Inge "The White Rose" (GE: Die weiße Rose) - 1952

Inge Scholl was the sister of Hans and Sophie Scholl and is writing this book about her siblings and the Munich resistance group.

If there are any books that everyone should read, the story of the White Rose is definitely one of them. It shows that even in deepest Nazi Germany there were people who resisted, who paid for it with their lives, but who should be a great role model for all of us.

Eco, Umberto "The Name of the Rose" (I: Il Nome de la Rosa) - 1980 
A murder mystery. A monastery in the 14th century. One death occurs after the other, some of them seem very suspect, but for most of them it is very clear that another person caused the death. In other words, there is a mass murderer at large. Two visiting monks start to investigate and find a lot of links, some of them correct, others definitely false.

Osorio, Elsa "My Name is Light" (E: A veinte años, Luz) - 1998
A highly interesting novel about something that didn’t happen that long ago, yet is not so widely published. Of course, everyone knows there were a lot of problems in Argentina but I have not read a novel where it was described this well.

Obama, Michelle "The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times" - 2022

Such a wonderful woman, such a strong personality. We need more women like her who tell us how they lead their successful lives without pointing a finger, without letting the book be a "self-help book".

It's a huge privilege to be let into the thoughts of Michelle Obama, she shares so much that can be helpful to all of us. We can always learn from each other but especially from successful people.

Wodehouse, P.G."The World of Jeeves" (Jeeves #2-4: The Inimitable Jeeves #2, Carry On, Jeeves #3, Very Good, Jeeves! #4) - 1923/1925/1930

I had a lot of fun reading this over several months, the two helped me through some awful Corona months.

There isn't much more to say about these books other than how wonderful they are. I mentioned before that they aren't just funny but that the language is superb.

* * *

I couldn't find a connection between the first and the last one. The first was written by an American, the last by a Brit, the first one by a woman, the last by a man, the first is scary, the last funny. But both covers are quite monochrome. So, that's my conclusion and I stand by it. 😉

Happy November!

 Happy November to all my Friends and Readers
New Calendar picture with this
beautiful watercolour painting by Frank Koebsch
"The Old Svaneke Lighthouse - Bornholm"
"Svaneke Gamle Fyr - Bornholm"

Frank says to this picture:
"Das Dänemark Aquarell präsentiert den Leuchtturm in einer typischen Landschaft an der Ostsee im ausklingenden Herbst."
"The Denmark watercolor presents the lighthouse in a typical landscape on the Baltic Sea in the late autumn." 

It's always lovely to see a picture with a lighthouse. I love lighthouses. You can see this in my list:
Top Ten Tuesday ~ Lighthouses

When we took our boat tour last month, they had a cute little decoration with a lighthouse there, I just had to take a picture and hope you like it as much as I do.

And October was again a special month. I celebrated my 15 year blogiversary on the 5^th of the month. For a wedding that would be crystal.

My very first post on October, 5, 2010 was:
Which Austen Heroine are you? I found out that I am Elinor Dashwood. While I always thought I might be Anne Eliot, I can see how Elinor came about. 
If you are interested, who you are supposed to be, there is a link on my page. Let me know, if you've done the test.

For our Jane Austen read (see #Reading Austen project) this month, I found a book about Janes Austen's time. And it was a very interesting and detailed book about all the little things we don't know anything about:
Adkins, Roy & Lesley "Eavesdropping on Jane Austen's England: How our ancestors lived two centuries ago" (aka "Jane Austen's England) - 2013

* * *

And here we have another German expression that fits everywhere but since the colder time of the year is beginning, we might wear slippers sometimes and that's what made me think of this word:

Pantoffelheld

The German word "Pantoffel" means slipper, "Held" is a hero, so a slipper hero. But we are talking about something very different from a hero. It's a man who allows himself to be controlled by his wife and who has no say at home. Of course, in former time that was really bad, nowadays older people often use it for modern men who "help" at home. And that's just ridiculous, it's his home as well as hers, why should she carry all the burden especially sind most women work for their money today, as well.

Anyway, the English expression would be hen-pecked. Do you know of similar expressions in other languages?
