Nonfiction November - Book Pairing

11/12/2015

I am on to (and almost done with) my second nonfiction read of the month - The Hidden White House by Robert Klara. I love learning totally useless things as I read (such as, Harry Truman owned 489 neckties and brought the bowtie back into style). Facts like this are one of the reasons I love nonfiction.

This week's topic is:
Book Pairing: Match a fiction book with a nonfiction book that you would recommend.

Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham & My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff

Both books take place in New York City in the '90s. Both feature heroines who are trying to start a career, find friends, and just plain figure out life. And both are wonderfully good reads!

Oh, good to know. I want to read My Salinger Year, but knowing it's like Someday, Someday Maybe is helpful because I LOVED that book.

Both of these look good, but My Salinger Year in particular grabs my interest!

I really enjoyed them both, but I think I like My Salinger Year just a bit better because it has to do with books! :)

I loved Someday Someday, Maybe! I wasn't particularly interested in My Salinger Year, but this might change my mind!

They have a lot of similarities! If you liked Someday, Someday, Maybe, I think you would really enjoy My Salinger Year!

The thing about Truman and the ties is an awesome fun fact! Both of the books you suggest sounds really interesting to me :)

This is a great pair. I have both of these on my tbr list, but I hadn't really thought about the similarities between the two!
