It’s that time again, when I try to organize my reading for the month. Hey, things don’t always go the way I plan, but that’s part of the fun! This month is CRAZY. Not only do I have a fair amount of review books on tap, but it’s also SciFi Month and I have big plans for that. I’ll have a separate post up later today if you want to check out what I’m trying to read/accomplish for this fun event, but this post is all about the non science fiction books I hope to read. And as usual, I may stray from this list, because I do have other review books to catch up on, and depending on my mood, I may change things up. Check it out:
Most anticipated books of November:
Someone Like Me by M.R. Carey. I’ve read everything by Carey so of course there’s no way I’ll miss this one!
Dragonshadow (Heartstone #2) by Elle Katharine White. I simply LOVED the first book in White’s Pride & Prejudice retelling, and I was surprised when this was announced. I wouldn’t miss it for the world!
City of Broken Magic by Mirah Bolender. I’ve already heard some bloggers talking about this fantasy debut, so I’m glad I have copy:-D
An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris. I’ll admit I wasn’t completely wowed by Harris’ last series, but this one seems more like my kind of story.
Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri. This fantasy debut has been getting lots of great reviews. I’m excited to start it!
Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. This isn’t my normal genre—YA mystery—but it sounded good when a publicist pitched it to me, and I’m eager to check it out.
As I mentioned, this is my fifth year taking part in SciFi Month, and it’s always one of my favorite months of the year. I have a whole kick-off post dedicated to it, so stop by later today and check it out!

And that’s what’s on my plate this month…Are you planning to read any of these books?
I’m picking Sawkill Girls up from the library tomorrow. My hold finally came in. I’m also really excited for City of Broken Magic. and the MR Carey book. Looks like you have some good reading ahead.
It feels like it will be a really good month.
I’m really looking forward to pretty much all of these but especially City of Broken Magic and An Easy Death!
I’m almost done with An Easy Death, and it’s really good!
I’ve got Little White Lies coming in the mail and it’s super not my type of read either.. I’ll give it a whirl though. We might be surprised. Hopefully. 🙂
Yeah, here’s hoping! It might be up next for me, I sort of want to get it out of the way:-0
I’ve put Mech Samurai Empire on my TBR.
Oh cool, I hope you love it:-)
I have all of these on my list too, so I hope I can get to some of them this November…plus a few science fiction books I hope to be able to fit in/catch up with for sci-fi month!
Every year I tell myself “this will be the year I don’t take on ANY review books in November, then I can just read whatever the hell I want SF.” But yeah, once again that didn’t work out so well;-)
I just started Someone Like Me this week! I’ve only read 25% so far, and have no idea what’s going on… but I’m definitely hooked!
Ha ha, now I’m intrigued!!
Pretty much all of your books are on my list. the tricky part is finding time to get to them. Great choices and gorgeous covers!

I think we’re all going to have trouble with our TBRs this month, lol;-)
I totally forgot that 2nd Heartstone book was coming out!
Yeah, it sort of snuck up on me too, lol.
I’m game for most Middle Eastern / Indian fantasies, so Empire of Sand sounds like it’s right up my alley. And I still want to check out Heartstone at some point! GAH – so many series, it’s so easy to fall behind on them!
Btw I know you’re an Alice Hoffman fan… So I wanted to let you know that I should finish Practical Magic tonight, and I’ve enjoyed it a lot!

I’m so glad to hear that. I recommend The Rules of Magic as well, it was just as good, if not better:-)
I really want to read Sawkill Girls one of these days, and I wish I had bought a copy before my owned TBR grew out of freaking control. Happy reading, Tammy!

Ha ha, right there with you:-) It’s hard to go back and catch up, right?
Thanks to your awesome review – I’m intrigued by The Silent Companions. I’ve also signed up to Sci Fi Month, thanks to your recommendation – I look forward to hearing what you make of Carey’s latest – I’m hoping to finally get to The Boy on the Bridge during November. Happy reading, Tammy:)
Oh good! Glad to see you’ll be participating, it’s a fun month and really anything goes:-)
Empire of Sand and Little White Lies both sound really good!

I had a blast with Little White Lies, such fun!
I need the MR Carey book! I can’t wait to hear what you think of it.
I’m starting it tonight!
I hummed a bit about Little White Lies but I’m trying to behave and keep November fairly clear and December totally clear.
I love the cover for Sawkill Girls.
Lynn 😀
I just finished Little White Lies and it was really good. But I know what you mean about December, that is normally my “catch up” month.
