To-Be-Read List: October 2015.

Hello!

I back here with a TBR post.

Last month I read sans a TBR...after a very strict August, reading only Indian Writing, I wanted a much more relaxed September. So I read what I wanted to and took a TBR out of the mix.

But a new month calls for a new Reading List.

October is a mix of things---it's Durga Pujo and then there is Halloween at the very end. So the temptation to read spooky books is at a all time high. I love, love, love scary books and scary movies so this is one of my favourite times of the year.

My TBR is a books I want to read this month...of course but I might completely stray from this set of books and read some Bengali Lit around Durga Pujo and of course at the end of the month I want to read lots of spooky books...

I just might do a separate spooky book TBR later on...

For now this is my Reading List for October...

1. Ordeal by Innocence- Agatha Christie

2. Lexicon- Max Barry

3. A Spool of Blue Thread- Anne Tyler

4. The Patience Stone- Atiq Rahimi---already read and quite enjoyed it.

5. The Alchemist's Daughter- Katherine McMahon

6. The Day of the Triffids- John Wyndham

7. Wreaking- James Scudamore

8. Asura- Anand Neelakantan--a perfect Dusshera read!

9. Girl in the Garden- Kamala Nair (RR)

10. Wind Pinball- Haruki Murakami

I'll be happy if I manage to read some of these books.

I also want to read some books on my Kindle and iPad...will talk about them in another post soon!

Happy Reading guys :)

Could you please link up to the Goodreads page of each book, if it weren't too much of a bother?

Ah! It is a bit of a chore really. I usually have over 10 books on my TBR and it's a pain to find and link each book. One could look up a title they are interested in on their own :)
