Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song and/or video and share it on Monday to bring spirit to the hardest day of the week. It’s #NonfictionNovember here on ATIB! What better way to kick things off than with a Non-Fiction Song! I have loved this song for as long as I can remember and it was a great opportunity to share it with everyone as part of the NF festivities. I tried to learn every element on the periodic table at one point. I memorised about 86 of them! What a nerd 😀
The Element Song by Tom Lerher

Thanks for coming by check out the first stop on quite a busy week for non-fiction here on ATIB. I am going to attempt to find several other Non-Fiction inspired songs for this month so wish me luck. The Element Song inspired me to learn about the periodic table and learn its secrets. I hope you all enjoy this ode to science and come back plenty this month for NF reviews, posts, Q&As and more!
