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.

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.

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).
