Hannah @HannahsBooks has happily repurposed the Shakespeare Journey and Victorian Literature Tags for #nonfictionnovember
Here's her original youtu.be/XxeVcTYwOzM?si=YMcRAYuwQQAnJyug which is much more considered and erudite than mine. But I enjoyed being tagged and having a think about reading non-fiction over my life.
The Questions:
1. What was your first experience reading nonfiction?
2. Has the reading of a work of nonfiction ever brought you to tears?
3. Are there any people who have played a significant role in your nonfiction journey?
4. Do you enjoy documentaries? Do you have a favourite? Is there a subject you’d like to see discussed on film? (That is, what should Ken Burns film next?)
5. Have you read a biography about (or memoir of) a person with whom you identify?
6. Read aloud a short passage you love from a work of nonfiction.
7. Do any works of nonfiction intimidate you? Which ones and why?
8. What tips would you give to people hesitant to read nonfiction?
9. What are your favourite works of nonfiction?
10. Tag other Booktubers.
I tag anyone who enjoys reading non-fiction but especially:
