Hey guys! So last month I didn’t end up doing a TBR and I feel I ended up reading a good amount of books. I feel this year I haven’t been following a set TBR which isn’t like me. Since it’s the second to last month of the year I want to try to get in the books I have been putting off. There are so many books I want to read. I do hope I can get to them by the end of the year. So let’s dive in and see what books I hope to read this month.
Capturing the Devil By Kerri Maniscalco
Genre: Young Adult, Mystery, Historical
Pages: 453 pages
Publication Date: September 10th 2019
Publisher: JIMMY Patterson
Plot: In the shocking finale to the bestselling series that began with Stalking Jack the Ripper, Audrey Rose and Thomas are on the hunt for the depraved, elusive killer known as the White City Devil. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse has them fighting to stay one step ahead of the brilliant serial killer—or see their fateful romance cut short by unspeakable tragedy.
Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell have landed in America, a bold, brash land unlike the genteel streets of London they knew. But like London, the city of Chicago hides its dark secrets well. When the two attend the spectacular World’s Fair, they find the once-in-a-lifetime event tainted with reports of missing people and unsolved murders.
Determined to help, Audrey Rose and Thomas begin their investigations, only to find themselves facing a serial killer unlike any they’ve heard of before. Identifying him is one thing, but capturing him—and getting dangerously lost in the infamous Murder Hotel he constructed as a terrifying torture device—is another.
Will Audrey Rose and Thomas see their last mystery to the end—together and in love—or will their fortunes finally run out when their most depraved adversary makes one final, devastating kill?

Plot: It’s been three years since Rowan and Citra disappeared; since Scythe Goddard came into power; since the Thunderhead closed itself off to everyone but Grayson Tolliver.
In this pulse-pounding conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman’s Arc of a Scythe trilogy, constitutions are tested and old friends are brought back from the dead.
This Moral Coil By Emily Suvada
Genre: Young Adult, Science Fiction
Pages: 425 pages
Publication Date: November 7th 2017
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Plot: Catarina Agatta is a hacker. She can cripple mainframes and crash through firewalls, but that’s not what makes her special. In Cat’s world, people are implanted with technology to recode their DNA, allowing them to change their bodies in any way they want. And Cat happens to be a gene-hacking genius.
That’s no surprise, since Cat’s father is Dr. Lachlan Agatta, a legendary geneticist who may be the last hope for defeating a plague that has brought humanity to the brink of extinction. But during the outbreak, Lachlan was kidnapped by a shadowy organization called Cartaxus, leaving Cat to survive the last two years on her own.
When a Cartaxus soldier, Cole, arrives with news that her father has been killed, Cat’s instincts tell her it’s just another Cartaxus lie. But Cole also brings a message: before Lachlan died, he managed to create a vaccine, and Cole needs Cat’s help to release it and save the human race.
Now Cat must decide who she can trust: The soldier with secrets of his own? The father who made her promise to hide from Cartaxus at all costs? In a world where nature itself can be rewritten, how much can she even trust herself?
The Family Upstairs By Lisa Jewell
Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Fiction
Pages: 352 pages
Publication Date: November 7th 2017
Publisher: Atria Books
Plot: Be careful who you let in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. But what she can’t possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision course to meet them.
Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone.
In The Family Upstairs, the master of “bone-chilling suspense” (People) brings us the can’t-look-away story of three entangled families living in a house with the darkest of secrets.
I kept my TBR short this month. I do want to participate in Buzzword Readathon which is happening from November 18th to November 24th hosted by Booksandlala and _Gabbyreads. I haven’t set up a TBR for that but if I decide to fully commit I will aim to have a TBR up next week.
What books do you plan to read in November? Have you read any of the books I’m planning to read? If so what did you think of them? Do you plan on participating in Buzzword Readathon?

Looks like a great TBR Reg! I still need to get my hands on The Toll, I thought I would be able to via the library, but I don’t think it will happen in time.

I ended up buying it because I was inpatient but then I didn’t end up picking it up. I want to know how everything ends though.
