Another long-term challenge
I saw this non-fiction challenge tonight and it appealed to me. It will take me a few days to completely assemble my list, but here is the beginning. I may make some adjustments. This is a list of at least 50 non-fiction books that I want to read in the next five years. I'm using the NF from my Filling in the Gaps list and the NF from my TBR pile to start with. My starting date is April 23, 2012, to be completed April 23, 2017.

I'm sorry I'm just now stopping by and checking out your list. You have a great list here! I spot several of the same from my list, like Catherine the Great, John Adams, Thunderstruck, The Monster of Florence, to name a few. I hope you're enjoying your non-fiction adventure! I'll be checking out your reviews soon. =O)
ReplyDeleteHI! Just found your blog...am sitting here going "oo-OOOO" at your booklist :D
ReplyDeletebtw, Fort Wayne is getting a total gem musically speaking. We just sang Bach's Ascension cantatas under direction of Jonathan Busarow, who has taken the post at Children's Chorus. LCMS Lutheran couple. Lucky you guys!
Hi Jenny, I just noticed this comment again and had to say that you are right, the Busarows are an excellent addition. My son is a music student at IPFW and has enjoyed having Jonathan as his choir director and his wife sings with the Bach Collegium.
