It‘s only fitting that leaves and snowflakes were flying during my last podcast walk for #NFN21

Today I learned that South Africa was able to use what they learned during the HIV/AIDS epidemic when they isolated the omicron variant.

This memoir was excellent, heartbreaking as the author learns about her self and our country as drastic changes occur around her as a person of color. Phenomenal! Excellent, Superb. Heartbreaking. #NFN #NonFictionNovember #NFN21

What a haunting and profound book about the women who fought in ghettos during the Holocaust. Amazing feats of strength bravery and wit's allowed women to fight back against the Nazis. What an amazing story. Excellent. Loved the narrator for the audiobook. 5 ⭐ #NFN #NonFictionNov #NFN21

This is a great book that not enough people know about. It‘s about a group of students who died in the Ural Mountains in Russia in the 1950‘s. Recommend for fans of Serial and Into Thin Air. #NFN21

This month went fast! Yesterday I started what will probably be my last nonfiction book of the month. I really loved this challenge! #NFN21

Today I learned: asthma wasn‘t understood as a disease until the 1960‘s. (From the tagged book.)

The weather is starting to feel a little more seasonal here, but I am determined to keep up my weekday walking/podcast routine!

Today I learned: In 1860‘s Sweden if you didn‘t have income from land it was compulsory to take service work. (From The Five by Hallie Rubenhold) #NFN21

During the oil boom years in Williston, ND Blaire Briody immersed herself in the everyday lives of oil workers and their families. This was a great book. #NFN21
