Non Fiction

Blog posts tagged as non-fiction are usually book reviews. For example, a blog that reviews books for children or teens / young adults may tag the post as non-fiction to indicate that the book is factual in nature. This helps people search the blog to find only posts that are about non-fiction books. Blogs that often use the tag non-fiction are generally written by people discussing books. For example, Nonfiction Matters is a popular blog by Marc Aronson at School Library Journal. Read Roger is a book-focused blog by Roger Sutton, editor of The Horn Book. You can also find great book review blogs written by authors, illustrators, parents, teachers, librarians, book award committees, and booksellers.

A non-fiction book is a work of literature that is presented as factual. This is different than fiction, which is a work that has been created or imagined in the mind of the author. You can find and buy non-fiction books from sites like Amazon.com or you can find them at your local bookstore using IndieBound.org.

• Four Sisters of Hofei

  
  Flamingo House Happenings — Authority: 123
  It’s rare that I don’t finish a book, even if I dislike it. I tried, I really tried, to read Four Sisters of Hofei and I just couldn’t do it. It wasn’t that it was non-fiction, it was that it was boring text book style non-fiction. I just didn’t care. I read five chapters plus the intro and that was enough.
