This is my non-review say, making it the best to join a one-day event called the 10 for 10: 2014 Nonfiction Book Challenge. Which 10 nonfiction books could I not live without in 2014? This is brought to you by the beautiful minds of Cathy Mere—Reflect & Refine—Mandy Robek—Enjoy & Embrace Learning—and Julie Balen—Write at the Edge. Here are the rules:
- What: 10 nonfiction books you can’t live without
- Hashtag: #nf10for10
- Who: Anyone interested — educators, media specialists, librarians, parents, etc.
- When: Wednesday, February 19th
- Where: All posts will need to be linked at Write at the Edge. Then I will move them into a jog resource during the week of the event.

Now, my dear readers what are the 10 nonfiction books you could not live without or are your favorite? I had a hard time narrowing it down to 10, and the list will change as the year progresses and I hear of, or am sent, other great nonfiction books for children and middle graders.
I will hopefully have the energy to write a review later today. It is now almost 4 AM. Reviewing is a tough job. :) If you do not see a review tomorrow, you most certainly will on Saturday, but I am betting my strength will find its way back, considering the book I want to tell you about next. It is one of those 10 above. Can you guess which one? I’d put this one at or near number 1 on the list above.
See you tomorrow.
