Play Book Tag discussion

We collectively read 75 titles in November for "American History". This is, of course, individual titles, so does not take into account if more than one person read the same book.

Looking at that list makes me realize how much holidays and holiday prep interfered with my reading plans! I had hopes of reading at least 3 books for last month's tag and I barely managed to finish one.

Oh, well. It's a great list. My tbr grows and grows.......

75 was actually the lowest number of titles read in our group for any tag this year.

For me, Christmas is the big busy holiday, not Thanksgiving (which is in October, for me), but I know Thanksgiving is much bigger in the US! I wonder if that is why there were fewer book read? I wonder if that's been a trend in other years, as well, and I just haven't noticed... ?

lists all the tags we've done over all our years here, along with the number of titles read.

November hasn't always been our lowest month, but obviously, the tag makes a difference, as well.

History books can be nonfiction and take longer to read, as well. Although, I know many people would have read historical fiction that fit "American history", as well.

No problem! It's a lot to look through unless you are looking for something specific!

I think you may be right about the tag, there are only a few die-hard non-fiction readers(I am one of). I myself was looking for a shorter book and ended up reading a real stinker.
