Bookwormjillk This makes me want to read The Grapes of Wrath again. 1y

SpellboundReader Congrats on a whole year @Cuilin and @dabbe.
As per my usual, I'm joining in at the end of a challenge and plan to read The Dust Bowl: An Illustrated History. Are nonfiction history books acceptable, in addition to historical fiction?
As for suggestions, I shouldn't have any input here but would mention 19th Century Medical History (think Florence Nightingale). The other HF books I have on my kindle are in the overdone WWl & WWll categories. 1y

Cuilin @SpellboundReader thank you. Nonfiction are absolutely acceptable and I love your suggestions. I added you to the tag list. Welcome. 1y

SpellboundReader Thank you. 🤗 1y
