2020 Nonfiction Reader Challenge: Monthly Spotlight #5

I’m delighted with the response to the inaugural Nonfiction Reader Challenge so far, and since sign-ups are open until December 1st, a few more may decide to join us during the year.

If you hadn’t yet noticed, I’ve created a permanent page for the challenge, you can CLICK HERE, or select the menu link at top left.

The NEW Linky to add your review to can be also be found there. This new linky will remain active for the rest for the year’s submissions. Look for the text in orange.

On the first Saturday of each month, I am highlighting a handful of Linky submissions, but I encourage you to support all participants who have shared what they have been reading for the challenge. Give them a like, leave them a comment, share their posts on twitter, Facebook or instagram #2020ReadNonFic

An Alice Girl by Tanya Heaslip is a childhood memoir of a woman who grew up in the late 1960s and early 70s on a cattle property in a remote area of Australia. Veronica of The Burgeoning Bookshelf writes, “[it] is an awe inspiring story of hardship, endurance, determination and ultimately triumph over the elements to make a living in the harshest of conditions.”

At Maphead’s Book Blog, you can find a review of David Maraniss’ book  Rome 1960: The Olympics That Changed the World. Describing it as “…a heck of a book”, Maphead learnt that not only were the supporting  successes and failures of the Games significant but also made a wider contribution to history.
