I think it could be the larger TBR list ;)
Mod

Here is my mixed list :)Fantasy: Forget Me Not by Stacey Nash

From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava by Jay Kopelman Non Fiction
Eden, Noon by Archer Swift SciFi
From the Outback by Ann B. Harrison Rural Romance
Like most here I have a large and varied TBR so will need to have a bit of a think and like Phrynne and Melissa, will need to see where I'm at by the end of October. Great challenge though. Very flexible and not limited. :)
Mod
At this time of year it seems to be a challenge everyone needs Elaine!!
Brenda wrote: "Elaine wrote: "Like most here I have a large and varied TBR so will need to have a bit of a think and like Phrynne and Melissa, will need to see where I'm at by the end of October. Great challenge ..."Yes absolutely agree Brenda. Very timely.
I am just really hoping to complete my GR reading challenge, mainly. Right now, I am two books ahead of schedule.
So... What do people think of my mixed bag?
Mod
It looks good Kiera:) There are some great choices here already!
Wow.....need to figure out what I wanna read!!
I will be reading - - - something - LOL!Not committing to anyone thing - well maybe Man Drought by Rachael Johns as it has been on my TBR pile for a wee while. It is a romance. Other than that I have an eclectic collection of genre on my shelves both in goodreads as well as in my physical shelf in the back bedroom and lurking in my eReaders.
As I'm still working through my AWWC and my Aussie Author Challenge, I don't think I'll commit, however some of the books I'm planning to read are on my TBR, so I may be participating in a roundabout fashion anyway :)
I'm also not entirely sure what I'll be reading in November - my October reading has been a little slower than I anticipated so far.But I hope to get around to:
Hello From the Gillespies by Monica McInerney - contemporary fiction
The Shadow Year by Hannah Richell - mystery
Mr Chen's Emporium by Deborah O'Brien - historical fiction
and Suspect by Michael Robotham - thriller
This is easy as 2 new books coming out this month that I can't wait to read: The Empty Throne - Historical Fiction
The Escape - Thriller
Also Luka and the Fire of Life - Fantasy
Have I doubled up on Genres? (Thanks Brenda)

Haha!! Go for it;)
Will definitely join in once I see what I've manged to read by the end of this month. There are too many books I want to read so will have to prioritise somehow!(Oooh! Sickies! Now there's a thought!)

Just joking, of course!!! Fingers crossed I haven't jinxed myself.
I'll add mine after having a look through my shelf.. Sometimes I get struck on knowing what genre a book really is!
Mod
Have a look on the right hand side of each book's page Suzanne - the shelves that people list them on are there, and they're pretty close to the mark usually:)
Thanks Brenda ;) I knew there'd be something here and you've jogged my memory. Really missing my laptop that's not working, and using my iPhone isn't quite the same!
Yeaaah I will have to think about this..I got lots :D
Mod
I think we all do! LOL
Should be a good reading month:)
MY TBR is sitting there all ready for me to attack, but I can't make a list until October is done: who knows how much more I'll get read by then? And the order of things might be upset when my various reserves come in at the library, so I'll just be listing what I've managed to read at the end of November....

I mean, I should be reading right now, but instead I am sitting on my computer looking at real estate. :P

Burnibg Lies - Helene Young - Romantic Suspense
Promises - Cathryn Hein - Contemporary Romance
