Recommended Nonfiction Lists Challenge - 2018

[Kadijah Michelle]

RECOMMENDED NONFICTION CHALLENGE
Duration January 1 to December 31, 2018

How many times have you said to yourself, “I would love to read more nonfiction!” but then had no idea what to read? How do you know if the book will be good, or if you will be reading something as dry as a text book? This year, we decided that for our non-fiction challenge, we would bring you the best that non-fiction has to offer...recommended lists from those that love to read non-fiction. Dr. Google has helped us out and given you some lists to jump off from, but feel free to explore the internet and research nonfiction books that will interest YOU (and please share what you find with the rest of us).

The Modern Library’s 100 Best Nonfiction
72 Great Nonfiction Titles for Book Clubs
The Guardian’s Best Nonfiction Books of All Time
Amazon’s Most Sold Nonfiction Books
Nonfiction Listopias

And if you can’t find it on any of these lists, that’s fine, as long as it’s nonfiction and it interests you! Maybe you could even start your own list!

[Kadijah Michelle]

How to Participate

1. Post here telling the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active.

2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress.

Some members choose to update their original post with their progress to keep track of their challenge more easily, but make sure to also post a new message so the challenge leader knows to go look at your original post. You can look at how other members report their progress to find a strategy that works well for you.

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.
