Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown: We share some of the books we'd like to read during Nonfiction November. It's Nonfiction November and we've got some recommendations for you! Highlights:

It's Nonfiction November, bookworms! This month, we're delving into the world of true stories, wild memoirs, and everything in between.

Summary: Welcome to Nonfiction November! Holly and Devin are kicking off this month by diving into two very different nonfiction books: Holly's, a deep dive into serial killer Ted Bundy, and Devin's, a deep dive into the full spectrum of human emotion and how they can enrich our lives. Couldn't be more different, but Holly and Devin unite over the place of nonfiction in their lives and how books like these can impact them both inside and outside their wheelhouses.  As a reminder, you can review and purchase all books we discuss and mention on this podcast through the Hearts & Daggers Bookshop site; any book you purchase using our affiliate links supports our show.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:47): Holly discussed The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule, an in-depth, journalistic approach to the story of Ted Bundy and the murder spree he went on between 1973 - 1978. Rule, who had been a journalist investigating the murders and disappearances of women in Washington State in the early 70s, worked with Bundy at a crisis call center and was contracted to write her book before the killer was identified. Holly's key takeaways were:  Bundy's murders spanned 4 states but always involved a similar profile for victim; young, brunette women with long hair parted down the middle (As a curly-haired blonde, Devin felt comforted by this - even though he died in 1989). He would routinely fake a broken arm or a broken-down car to engage with them.  The most impactful and interesting aspect of the book was Ann Rule's own personal connection to Ted and the cases. Her journey discovering that her friend was a suspect, denial and confusion, and eventual horrifying realization and acceptance as the situation turned ever more dire and damning carried the reader through the book in a unique way.  Holly also wants to underline: never hitchhike, keep your doors and windows locked, avoid walking alone esp at night, look like you know where you're going when walking (even if you don't), and never go to someone's car with them.  The Heart (32:26): Devin discussed Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown, a gorgeously formatted book that archives the eighty-seven emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. Brown uses descriptions and overviews of these emotions as a conduit to drive home a wider message; the better we can understand and articulate how we feel about our lives, the more deeply we can connect to those around us. Devin's key takeaways were: Applying qualitative research to something as elusive and difficult to understand as the spectrum of human emotion allows the reader to more deeply inspect their own experiences, unconscious drivers, and relationships with others with both passion and scientific precision.  Brown categorizes emotions into buckets that also serve to augment the reader's experience and sense of unification across feelings and experiences all humans have. Devin's favorites were “Places we go when it's beyond us” (awe, wonder, confusion, curiosity, interest, surprise) and “Places we go with others” (compassion, pity, empathy, sympathy, boundaries, comparative suffering) The foundational takeaway from Devin from this book is being able to articulate not just four emotions (happy, sad, angry, horny) but many more and how the simple act of being self-aware enough to name a nuanced emotion will revolutionize our relationships. Hot On the Shelf (54:51): Devin: Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood Holly: The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell What's Making Our Hearts Race (57:13): Devin: Delta Airlines' flight experience Holly: Los Angeles Haunted Hayride Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

First up for Nonfiction November is Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop by Danyel Smith. It's part memoir, part musical history of the often invisible, always culturally significant Black women who made pop music what it is. Corinne has COVID and also a bit of trouble with her audio up top, so yeah, It's her, hi, she's the problem, it's her. Next time we will be discussing Republic of Lies: American Conspiracy Theorists and Their Surprising Rise to Power by Anna Merlan. You can find it at your local bookstore or library and read along with us. Links: The Spotify Playlist (coming soon) Danyel Smith on It's Been a Minute

With scant time for a few books this month, I planned on three and skimmed a fourth for Nonfiction November Behind the Horror by Dr. Lee Mellor https://amzn.to/2Vh622t The origin stories behind our favourite horror films. Sons of Cain by Peter Vronsky https://amzn.to/2HWVX7K A study on the origin of our sadistic urges and just how prevalent serial killing has been... and is. I'll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara https://amzn.to/2JmV9d0 Written over years in near-obsessive fashion, the author died not long before this infamous killer was caught. Surreal, all around. Providence After Dark by T.E.D. Klein https://amzn.to/2Vh5TMt A fantastic take on the work of H. P. Lovecraft and reflections on others work, be it in the form of interviews, recollections, or essays. This makes me want to read the old guy's letters more than anything!

I am heading into Nonfiction November and thought a little tag will work and an explanation as to why. These are certainly Typical Books. Original tag by ABookOlive: https://youtu.be/fnv6OwURHZIas noted on Triumphal Reads: https://youtu.be/I9xJP88RoxM 1. How much nonfiction do you read? At least one book a month, sometimes more 2. What kind of nonfiction videos do you make/do you WANT to make on Booktube? More true crime, and more writers craft books 3. What's your favorite sub-genre of nonfiction? Bio and true crime 4. Do you have a favorite nonfiction book? Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi 5. What do you think keeps people from wanting to read more nonfiction? Holdovers from school perhaps, or the idea that it offers no escapism 6. Why do you like nonfiction? It offers as much as fiction and more with secondary or tertiary reading links 7. What's a nonfiction book you read because of Booktube? Story by Robert McKee 8. What's the best nonfiction book you've read lately? Behind the Horror by Lee Mellor 9. What are some of your nonfiction reading goals? More modern true crime since most of what i have is encyclopedic or old. 10. What's your advice for incorporating more nonfiction into your reading diet? Consider the true stories behind your favourite films and books and read the associated biographies. Reading about the history of your area may prove as fascinating as events like the Franklin Expedition or Titanic. BONUS: Give some recommendations of nonfiction Booktube channels that you love!
