The Nonfiction Reader Challenge is hosted by Shellyrae at Book’d Out. Its aim is to encourage us to make nonfiction part of our reading experience during the year. I’ll let Shellyrae explain more…
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.
You can choose your books as you go or create a list in advance. Use your best good faith judgement as to whether a book fits the category or not. Where a book is identified by more than one category, it may only count for one, not both. You can read your chosen titles in any order, at any pace, just aim to complete the challenge by December 31st 2025
Choose a goal –
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, or none at all, just share the nonfiction you read through the year.
As I’m a rather infrequent reader of nonfiction up until now, I’m chosen Nonfiction Nibbler as my goal. Links from each title will take you to my review.

Thank you. One of my goals for this year was to join a new challenge and yours is it! My husband is more of a nonfiction reader than me and we have a whole bookcase full of ones I’ve never read. This will be an opportunity to blow the dust off a few – some literally.
