I see by a blog I follow that the challenge/meme/whatever “Spell the Month in Books” is being hosted by Jana at https://reviewsfromthestacks.wordpress.com/tag/spellthemonthinbooks/ .
And this being November that means Nonfiction! I read quite a lot of nonfiction so I think I’d like to try it and see what I come up with. I read all of the books on my list in the past 18 months, The oldest is the R book, Robert E Lee and Me, which I read in June, 2021. (The links are to my reviews on this site.)

I’m glad you joined in this month too. I think The Viking Heart and Entangled Life sound interesting.

Thank you, Helen. It was pretty fun. I join in them sometimes. Entangled Life was fabulous – The Viking Heart was very, very good.

What a great assortment! I have heard Cass Sunstein speak a couple times (he is married to a classmate of my sister and lives locally) and I have been meaning to read On Juneteenth. Glad you joined in! I have had trouble with the letter U occasionally…
