Скачать или смотреть Spy Secrets Hidden In Books! (Dr No-vember 2025)

This November, I’m joining the incredible lineup of booktubers co-hosting Dr. NoVember — an event celebrating spies, secrets, espionage, and intelligence thrillers across both fiction and non-fiction. Time to explore a world of spies, secret messages, and hidden identities in books! We'll be looking at spy terminology, how these concepts appear in literature, and diving into mystery and intrigue created by the authors. In this video, I share my recommendations for the best spy novels and espionage non-fiction to read this month — from Ken Follett’s Eye of the Needle to Frederick Forsyth’s The Day of the Jackal, John le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and Ben Macintyre’s The Spy and the Traitor.
You’ll also hear about the official group read — The Quiet American by Graham Greene — and how you can join the Dr. November reading event hosted by Mark from Book Time with Elvis and an all-star group of bookish co-hosts. Join me for some thrilling reading! Let me know in the comments what you are planning to read for this exciting event. Enjoy your reading!
