5 nonfiction books to add to your spring reading list

March 10, 2016

A Girl Named PJ's recommended reading for March 2016: 5 nonfiction books

While I normally reach for fiction, I picked up a couple of excellent nonfiction books last year, including The Astronaut Wives Club and 10% Happier. While I was looking for suggestions of what to read next, I came across several reviews of nonfiction titles on a reader’s blog. So I asked if she’d be willing to share her current favorites here! Lucky for me — and for you — she agreed.

10 fascinating documentaries to watch now

10 documentaries to watch with your family on A Girl Named PJ

My husband has a bias against documentaries that I don’t understand.

There are at least a dozen in my Netflix queue, but whenever I suggest we watch one on a Saturday night, he likes to reply that documentaries aren’t movies. Then he picks something terrible like Snowpiercer and falls asleep 10 minutes before it ends.

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
