I am FINALLY getting around to this one, which is hosted by Jana @ Reviews from the Stacks. I have seen Marianne do this one forever and keep saying I would start...and then forget because, well, I don't know.
It's really easy. Just find book titles which spell the month in question. Jana does post optional themes for the months, if you like having that guide. I will not be using them, as themes are usually harder to do with non-fiction.

All of these are from my TBR, so hopefully it is yet another way for me to focus on that.
Happy Reading!

These are quite the serious reads.
ReplyDeleteI do love my serious non-fiction, that's for sure.
DeleteOf course you went with history books! Mine would all be murder mysteries lol
ReplyDeleteIt was not totally intentional. I started this back in January by going all the way back to the very beginning of my Goodreads to-read shelf. I'm using this meme to jog my memory and remember those I put on the list to start with, instead of just always grabbing what's new at the library.
DeleteI thought you might have included some cook books. LOL
ReplyDeleteBut yours are highly interesting, so I wouldn't blame you. Having said that, I never blame anyone, the main thing is that we get to know other books.
I think your list is absolutely fantastic, so many fascinating books.
Here is my list, some cook books, some novels:

lol, I don't do much cooking. I have a couple cookbooks but my way is way more fun for me.
DeleteHaha, I guess I know what you mean. I have tons of cookbooks for inspiration and even more baking books where you really need a good recipe.
DeleteThere's this really yummy holiday pie we have had every Christmas for as long as I can remember. During Covid it went away and it never came back. I jokingly told the family group chat that if we do not find that pie at some other bakery, I'm not coming. My aunt linked a recipe for it and I laughed because they know I don't know how to do anything in the kitchen, lol.
DeleteHahaha, what was the pie about? Maybe you can give the recipe to someone who can make it for you? In any case, I'd be interested to know about it. I love baking.
DeleteIt's SO SO good, and this recipe seems to be the closest I can find. If you make it, let me know what you think!! My mom said she won't make it :'(

Oh dear, that looks very, very, veeeery sweet. But I'd make it for you, if you were here.
DeleteAwww, thank you SO MUCH! It is my most favorite holiday treat. If you give it a try, I want to know if you like it! It won't hurt my feelings if you don't, it is sweet. But so, so delicious. Literally my mouth is watering just talking about it, lol
DeleteI doubt I will be able to make it this year. I need a few ingredients that are not so easily obtainable here. But if I start early, I might be able to do it next year.
DeleteI didn't even think about that part. Makes sense, I just take it for granted that it would be easy to get everything.
DeleteThere are not that many items that you can't get everywhere nowadays but some of the sweets are specific to certain countries. But that doesn't mean I can't order them somewhere online. Though that was too late this year and I was far too busy to do that.
