Possible Reads for Novellas in November & Nonfiction November 2024 #NovNov24 #NonficNov24


We are just two months and several days away from the end of 2024; how could time fly that fast!? Reading wise, I'm so grateful that many bookbloggers or booktweeters keep hosting my favorite reading events. Two of them are coming next month, and I've been compiling my lists (and even started reading few of them!) of some possible reads, with emphasize on "possible". I might read more or less, or substitute the titles. Anyway, here they are:

Novellas in November 2024 #NovNov24
hosted by Cathy @ 746 Books and Rebecca @ Bookish Beck



Warrior of the Light: A Manual (1997) by Paulo Coelho - a special read for special occasion, which I will explain in the review.
Wigs on the Green (1935) by Nancy Mitford 
Maud Martha (1953) by Gwendolyn Brooks
The Old Maid (1922) by Edith Wharton
A Single Rose (2020) by Muriel Barbery


Nonfiction November 2024 #NonficNov24
hosted by Liz, Frances, Heather, Rebekah, and Deb



Under the Tuscan Sun: At Home in Italy (1996) by Frances Mayes
The Golden Mole: And Other Living Treasure (2022) by Katherine Rundell
Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident (2013) by Donnie Eichar


Would you join one or all of them? What books you plan to read next month?

  1. A great set of choices there! I'm happy to see Nancy Mitford on your list as I enjoy her books. I'll be joining in both but let's see which books I end up reading.

    1. I've been meaning to read more Mitford since I've "found" Pigeon Pie last year, so I'm thrilled for this novella. Can't wait to see what you're going to read for both events, Mallika!

  2. Thanks so much for sharing your possible reads! Muriel Barbery is a great author for the NovNov challenge -- I've read several novella-length books by her. Hope you enjoy your selections.

    1. And thanks for co-hosting it another year, Rebecca! I haven't read Muriel Barbery yet, so I'm excited. The premise of this novella is pretty interesting too.

  3. Nice choices for both! I have identified 11 books to work for Nonfiction November and Novellas in November (and, indeed, my own TBR project) and wil be sharing a picture on Friday in my State of the TBR post (as otherwise I'll run out of days to post posts on!).

    1. Fantastic! Can't wait to see your choices, Liz. And thank you for co-hosting #NonficNov24. I'm no fan of nonfic, so this is a good way to read more of it.

  4. I will explore all of your possible books. I like Barbery, Wharton, and Brooks so I need to check them out.
