2024 Nonfiction Reader Challenge

For the fourth year in a row, I’m taking on the Nonfiction Reader Challenge. I already have a few books lined up for some of the categories, and I’m looking forward to reading reviews from other Nonfiction Readers for inspiration for the others.

The Challenge is hosted by Book’d Out (https://bookdout.wordpress.com/), a book review blog by Shellyrae in Australia (a woman who reads so many books in a year, it’s amazing!).

Her blog explains How it Works:

“You can select, read and review a book from the categories listed below during the year for a total of up to 12 books; OR select, read and review any nonfiction book. A book may be in print, electronic or audio format.”

The Goals are:

Nonfiction Nipper: Read & review 3 books, from any 3 listed categories

Nonfiction Nibbler: Read & review 6 books, from any 6 listed categories

Nonfiction Nosher: Read & review 12 books, one for each category

Nonfiction Grazer: Read & review any nonfiction book. Set your own goal

The 2024 the Categories are:

• History
• Memoir/Biography
• True Crime
• Science
• Food
• Culture
• Transportation
• The Future
• Pets
• Architecture
• Published in 2024

Most of these categories are subject areas I’m already interested in (History, Biography, Science, Food, Culture), but a few might be a challenge (Architecture? The Future?). That’s what makes the Challenge so interesting – and a lot of fun.
