October: finally back to the big tbr pile and my own books

from bookriot.com

Okay - this isn't my real tbr stack, but it very well could be. I got so sidetracked by saying yes, yes, yes to advanced reading copies that I'm going to start saying no, no, no. I still have a few to read, but they'll keep for a while.  While I don't have a set plan, since it's October, I'll be trying to find some darker reads to keep me entertained, but I won't limit myself. 

I've already finished Susan Hill's The Woman in Black, which I thought was quite good. If you've seen the movie with Daniel Radcliffe, trust me - it's not the book. Crimewise, I'm currently reading Reykjavik Nights, by Arnaldur Indridason, not a book that continues the series but a sort of prequel.  Nonfiction brings me to Martin Dugard's The Explorers, which I'll start after I finish one Sarah Waters had in her the Paying Guests bibliography, The Feminine Middlebrow Novel 1920s to 1950s.

Right now I need a home for Christian Tsiolkas' Barracuda (US readers only, sorry) -- there will be more books needing homes this month as I try to pare down my collection, so stay tuned. Just be first to comment saying you want the book and I'll mail it to you.
