After several complaints because the Men‘s Book Group is the only one at our library that regularly reads nonfiction (and they won‘t let me attend — I‘ve asked), they finally created a “Nonfiction for Fiction Readers” group with the intent of reading narrative nonfiction. Huzzah! 🥳 These are the books for the first quarter.

Amiable @dabbe I‘m actually a bit irritated at the “nonfiction for FICTION readers” label. Like they think they can‘t attract women to a NF group without coaxing them with a promise the books will read like fiction? I‘m over here like “HELLO…” 2d
Scochrane26 That is ridiculous, @Amiable. Glad you‘re trying to change things. BTW, I really liked In the Garden of Beasts because it educated me a lot. It‘s scarily like what‘s been happening now. 2d
Amiable @Scochrane26 I have already read “Beasts” — a few years ago, but I‘m re-reading to be able to discuss in January. You‘re right —it‘s scary how relevant it is to the present! 😖😬 2d
AnnCrystal 🎉📚 Bravo 👏🏼🥳👍🏼📚💝💝💝. 2d
dabbe @Amiable So agree! Do they think we only read Harlequin romances? 🤣 2d
ferskner As a librarian who used to run book clubs, this is so lame! Why didn't they just create a nonfiction book club? Good for you got pushing back, though! 1d
