A Non-Fiction Adventure

Inspired by Jillian’s Classic Club Michelle of The True Book Addict has put together a spin-off for non-fiction novels, A Non-Fiction Adventure.

Here are the guidelines: 
-choose 50+ non-fiction books; the number is up to you. Choose 50, 75, 100, 200. It’s entirely your choice 
-Books must be non-fiction–biography, autobiography, history, memoir, cooking, travel, science, etc. 
-list them at your blog (or on Goodreads or another social media site, if you do not have a blog) 
-choose your completion goal date five years in the future and make note of it with your list of titles (like this: reading goal–50 books goal dates–March 20, 2012 – March 20, 2017) 
-go back to dedicated blog and post the link to your list in the linky list 
-write a review (or a short summary) on the book when finished and link it to the title in your list (or link to your review on Goodreads, again, if you don’t have a blog)
