November TBR
Right, I'm trying something a bit different this month... I'm only setting myself a proper TBR of ten books that I know I absolutely want to read this month; the rest of my stack will be a large (very large - the pile on my nightstand gets closer to dangerously, possibly fatally, high every month) pile of books that I might want to pick through in this last hectic month of work and PhD before the Christmas break. I'm going to see if this means I enjoy my reading a bit more than last month's; to see if letting my mood guide my reading choices means a bit more of an emotional connection to the novels I pick up instead of just reading them to get through a list I set weeks ago when my mood and free time doesn't end up matching the reality.
Anyways, please see below for the books that might kill me (literally - by crushing my skull while I sleep) this month.
