Mostly history and political biography in my case and I always blog about them - though I'm pretty sure they don't get read nearly as often as reviews of fiction. But they work as a reminder for myself of what I thought about the books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-14877990739041421012013-07-09T14:26:42.167+01:002013-07-09T14:26:42.167+01:00Good luck with your challenge, Ellie, hope you man...Good luck with your challenge, Ellie, hope you manage to fit in some non-fiction reading too. :)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731930823596505781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-36561133725472902262013-06-22T11:08:08.094+01:002013-06-22T11:08:08.094+01:00A while ago I realised that I had a massive pile o...A while ago I realised that I had a massive pile of non-fiction books waiting for me to read them. I have such a different attitude towards non-fiction than I do fiction and it takes a certain mood for me to read it but then I really enjoy it when I do. I've set myself a little challenge (I'll blog about it at some point) to read six non-fiction by the end of the year in the hope of expanding my horizons! I am very much looking forward to your reviews :)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362128444319074118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-1827344975181204142013-06-19T17:54:38.941+01:002013-06-19T17:54:38.941+01:00Hi Birgit, thanks very much for commenting.

It's good to hear you blog about non-fiction too. That is a good amount of non-fiction out of your reading as a whole.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731930823596505781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-52126095907358797452013-06-19T17:52:56.444+01:002013-06-19T17:52:56.444+01:00Thanks very much for commenting Treez.

One of mine on my picture, The Spy Who Loved, I've had for a while and not got to yet. I hope the books you read dealing with autism are helpful. xLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731930823596505781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-23953215570958961262013-06-19T09:27:20.987+01:002013-06-19T09:27:20.987+01:00Most of the non-fiction I've read recently dea...Most of the non-fiction I've read recently deals with autism as my son has ASD and I tend not to feature it on my blog as I think it's probably too specialised. However I do have a couple of more general titles lined up for the summer : Gulp by Mary Roach, a wonderful popular science writer and Claire Tomalin's bio of Dickens which I bought for the bi-centenary...oops...better get going!

I...Non-fiction, yay! <br />*rubs hands in anticipation*<br /><br />I find it such a shame how non-fiction gets neglected in the book blogosphere. I do know people read it, but somehow only few will ever blog about it (yours truly for example). <br />As to your question - looking back onto my Goodreads reading challenges on previous years I'd say I read roughly 1/3 non-fiction which isn't all too shabby seeing how I read about 150 books each year.<br />That said ... looking forward to your new feature! :-)<br /><br />P.S.: If you want to (no pressure, really) you may still sign up for my "This isn't Fiction Reading Challenge", 'cause the more the merrier, obviously.
