My Apologies
After the migration to a new computer, I now find myself unable to reply to comments on my own blog. This pertains to all posts over the last couple of weeks.
Please know that I do appreciate your comments and read every one of them. I won’t be able to start trying to track down how to fix this problem until the week after Thanksgiving here in the U.S. (about December 1st), so please bear with me. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.
Nonfiction November
Week 5 (11/25-11/29) 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!
This week’s topic is hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz.
My TBR list has definitely grown throughout this month, and I look forward to checking out some of the new (to me) books that you’ve all recommended.
But first, with one week left in November, I still haven’t read these two books related to Life Stories in Literature:
Stranger Than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth-Century Novel by Edwin Frank
This book of literary criticism and history was just published on November 19, 2024.
Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind by Annalee Newitz
This timely book was published earlier this year (2024).
And here are the books I’ve added to my TBR list during Nonfiction November. Thanks to all of you for sharing your wide-ranging reading.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has participated in Nonfiction November 2024. This was my first year. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but I’ve been rewarded by discovering both new book bloggers and new books. Although I read way more fiction than nonfiction throughout the other 11 months, I look forward to returning for Nonfiction November 2025.

Ugh with the blog problems. I just dealt with something that went wonky on my blog, and I was happy that it got resolved quicker than expected — I hope that ends up true for you, too.
I hope you enjoy Patrick Stewart! I added Judi Dench to my TBR, too.
I was wondering what the heck happened when I checked back to see if you had replied to me. LOL Hope you get your techy problems sorted out eventually. Sucks when that happens! Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m so glad that you were able to add these books to your TBR. I hope you are able to resolve your computer commenting issues. See you on down the road!
Thanks, Deb.
