November is a bundle of nerves dressed as confidence. I am trying to be brave in the face of unknown in Indecision City. Thanksgiving looms large.
For books the list is short. Two of the chosen titles are monsters (each over 500 pages long):
- Dingley Falls by Michael Malone (in honor of Malone’s birth month)
- Empire Express by David Haward Bain ~ in honor of National Travel Month
- Invitation to Indian Cooking by Madhur Jaffrey ~ in honor of November being the best time to visit India
- Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling ~ in honor of November being National Writing Month
- Last Lion: Visions by William Manchester ~ in honor of Winston Spencer Churchill
I will be lucky if I get to Last Lion since Empire Express is over 900 pages long. The other book I’m hoping to get to if there is time is Last Best Place by various authors because the best time to visit Montana is November and I’ve always wanted to go.
For LibraryThing and the Early Review Program I am reading Ostrich Feathers by Miriam Romm. I was notified in early October I would be getting it but since the book actually didn’t arrive until October 24th I have decided to call it a November book. I also got word I will be receiving a November book. I guess I will be very busy!
ps~ I just received word my all-time favorite author, Barbara Kingsolver, is coming out with a new novel. Holy freak me out! I simply cannot wait! YAY!
