I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. School is back in session here and it's got me thinking about reading some nonfiction. Here are 5 on my TBR.
1. Betty Ford: First Lady, Women's Advocate, Survivor, Trailblazer by Lisa McCubbin - Betty Ford fascinates me and I'd like to know more about her.
2. Code Name: Lisle by Larry Loftis - I've read one book by this author that I really enjoyed and this sounds interesting.
3. Wallis in Love by Andrew Morton - I watched the episode of The Crown where Queen Elizabeth II has to deal with her uncle and I realized that I don't know that much about Wallis.
4. The Alps by Stephen O'Shea - I saw this in the library not that long ago and it really jumped out at me. It looks interesting.
5. The Husband Hunters by Anne De Courcy - I'm fascinated by the American heiresses who married into England aristocracy and would like to know more about them.
What nonfiction books are on your TBR?
I just brought home yesterday A Village in the Third Reich: How Ordinary Lives Were Transformed by the Rise of Fascism.
ReplyDeleteAll great picks - I have been getting into nonfiction a lot more lately.
ReplyDeleteI'd totally read The Husband Hunters! I read another book about American heiresses marrying English dukes years ago that was really good. I think it was called In a Gilded Cage. But it was really good.
ReplyDeleteI don't really read much non-fiction but these do sound good.
ReplyDeleteThey all look worth reading. I like the thought of the Betty Ford one. I see the Alps one mentions Heidi on the cover, that was my favourite read when I was young. Remember Wallis in the Rhys Bowen in Her Royal Spyness series!
ReplyDeleteI want to read the Betty Ford book.
ReplyDeleteCode Name: Lise and the history of the Alps both look quite intriguing. I just checked with my library, and they have both, so onto my TBR list they go.
