I can’t believe this month is almost over, and I’m just now posting about my reading theme. I’m also a little behind on my reading, but maybe I’ll catch up soon!
The theme for this month’s reading is nonfiction. I got a late start because I was finishing up a Newbery title left over from last month, but now I’m truly working on nonfiction titles – biographies, parenting titles, memoirs, and others. I have a slight dilemma about what to do about cookbooks. At what point can I count one as having been “read”? I’m probably not going to read them from cover to cover, but they do take a bit of time to sift through, and I hate not to count them at all.
I already finished an Eleanor Roosevelt biography. It was for children though, so I’d like to read something more in depth at some point. She was a fascinating person. Now I’m in the middle of an audiobook on the assassination of President Lincoln and a book about disciplining children. I’m also hoping to work in Mindy Kaling’s book – it looks like it will be a fun read. I also have a stack of the aforementioned cookbooks. Hmmm…
Maybe you could count it as read once you’ve sifted through most of the recipes and perhaps tried at least one? It’s hard to say with cookbooks I agree! By the way I love your monthly theme reading…great idea!
