September 2014 To-Be-Read TBR List.

As much as I loved and adored reading all Indian books in August, it was a little restricting. A tad bit. So for September I am mostly going to read what I want, in most part. I am still making myself a TBR, But I am going to pick and choose very casually from it and I won't care too much if I stray entirely from it. Super casual.

Here is my list of books I hope to get to read...

1. A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
2. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
3. Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith
4. Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell
5. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
6. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
7. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
8. Justice for Sarah by Erica Splinder (I am going to buddy read this with my sister.)
9. Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
10. S by Doug Dorst and JJ Abrams.
11. The Shadow of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clarke.
12. Silent House by Orhan Pamuk
13. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
14. Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
15. Coraline by Neil Gaiman

That's it, I hope I get to some of these books. I also have a couple of books I have to read to review, so I will read those as well.

Have a happy reading month guys :)

I have been following your blog for quite some time now and to be frank, it amazes me that you are always reading or reviewing books all day! Congrats. I could not help but notice that you are quite feministic in the books you choose to read. I am just wondering if that is intentional.

Thank-you, reading is my super-power, so all this reading just feels natural to me. Well, as for the feminist thing, I am a feminist so maybe I am drawn to books with strong female characters.
