Can't wait to see your picks!

As a nonfiction junkie - me, too!

If anyone can do it, you can! Good luck!

Good luck, Bill! 🐾

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. At the moment I'm leaning towards starting Jan with Futureface: A Family Mystery, an Epic Quest, and the Secret to Belonging by Alex Wagner. I've enjoyed her podcast with John Heilemann and when I've seen her on talk shows.

I forgot this was non-fiction.. Hunting the Bismarck by C.S. Forester

Thanks, Ann. Good luck with yours as well.

Starting my 3rd book, The Alice Behind Wonderland by Simon Winchester, who, along with Bill Bryson, is one of my favorite non-fiction writers. So much variety in his books.
