Louise's favorite titles from 2017!
In past years Cathy and I have worked together to create our list of favorite nonfiction books, but not this year. Because Cathy is serving on a book award committee, she has been unable to publicly review or write about books throughout 2017. I worked solo on this list and made my selections based on books I have read over the past year. Reviews are linked in the list below.
I am thrilled to announce that Cathy will return to blogging and reviewing for The Nonfiction Detectives in March. Yeah!

Thanks, everyone.
I am looking forward to 2018!
Great list. So hard to pick from all the wonderful NF titles this year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recs, Louise!
ReplyDeleteI especially loved Creekfinding and the Toad book (as well as many others, but How to Be an Elephant just popped into my head).
Appreciations. With books such as these, we are all winners.
