Alright guys. It's here. Nanowrimo. Experience has taught me that if I'm going to write, I must also read. I'm not sure why that should be so, but it most definitely is. However, at the breakneck pace of Nanowrimo it's easy to put reading aside. I know I can't do that and keep going. However, my reading pace will most definitely slow down. When my pace slows, it becomes much more likely that I will lose interest and drop a book. So, with all that in mind, here is my list for November. It is heavily weighted towards quick reads and YA fiction. Many of the titles were also on October's list, but there are many new ones out from the library as well.
