Trish is again hosting this Non-Fiction Five Challenge. Details and sign-ups can be found at this post. The goal is to read 5 non-fiction titles between May and September. I'm a big fan of this genre so I love doing this challenge.
Here are the books I'm thinking about reading:
- The Kings of New York, by Michael Weinreb
- Dry Storeroom No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum, by Richard Fortey
- Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival, by Norman Ollestad
- The Last Gentleman Adventurer: Coming of Age in the Arctic, by Edward Beauclerk Maurice
- Time Bandit, by the Hillstrand Brothers
- The Greatest Generation Speaks: Letters and Reflections, by Tom Brokaw
- A History of Celibacy, by Elizabeth Abbott
- Mistress of the Vatican, by Eleanor Herman
- A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson
- Kon-Tiki: Across the Pacific by Raft, by Thor Heyerdahl

Looks like you've got some great choices for the challenge, Heather. I am not familiar with many of the titles, sad to say. I wish you luck with the challenge!
Sounds like a great selectin - good luck! I like the Bill Bryson...
Thanks for sharing
Hannah
Good luck with the challenge!
So glad you joined up again, Heather! I know you had a great time with it last year, too. I haven't heard of any of your choices other than the Bryson. I haven't read him but would like to.
Best wishes!
and I hear you about the spam. I'm full moderation right now and hate it but I just get so tired of the spam (which I still get with word verification). Bleh. :)

Literary Feline, Hannah, and bermudaonion - Thanks!
Trish - Thanks for hosting again. You're right, this is one of my favorite challenges. :)
Good luck with the challenge! I'll be joining this one soon too. Dry Storeroom sounds interesting. I'll have to check that one out. I have the Greatest Generation Speaks on my shelf too.
Alyce - I can't wait to check out your list - I'm sure there will be books on there that I want to read as well. :)
