Lol, I have an ambitious TBR for October, as well. I'm heading back to the States in a week, but have decided to return here in November, so I just placed 25 books on hold at the library... I want to prioritize books that aren't available in ebook format, and a couple classics, since I much prefer to read those in paper form. :) Good luck with your reading. I'd love to hear an update on your shelf status :) and books you're hoping to get for Christmas.... Because it'll be here before we know it!

My shelf status is not too good, I blame the Shakespeare mania I’ve had this month, causing me to read library books and plays and not my bookshelf stuff. Will update in my wrap up though. 🙂 I’m not really feeling like I want many books for Christmas at the moment, maybe because I didn’t get my TBR under control yet! 😂 I like your ambition with the 25 library books- good luck! 🙂📚📚

I'm such a child. For a brief moment I thought you said Raffles was a "public school cat with an aptitude for cricket and a penchant for crime" and when i realised it was cad not cat my disappointment was crushing. Am I weirdo for wanting a crime series focusing on an anthropomorphised animal? a doggy detective, a literal cat burglar? My silly brain is going haywire. this sounds like a great TBR and I'm definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all of them. I wish i could tell you what I'm reading this month but I'm a filthy mood reader that never knows what I'm reading till I pick it up. All I know is that I'm diving into some horror to step outside my cowardly comfort zone.

I really wish it was about a public school cat with a penchant for crime. That sounds like a much better book! Maybe I should write that book, hahaha. I’m sure Raffles isn’t going to live up to that far superior pet related synopsis now! Good luck with the horror if you do try some.
