November Book Haul!

I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo this year.

Stacking The Shelves #173

Lately, my TBR pile seems to be going head-to-head with my "read" pile. Maybe I should be starting this blog post by saying "My name is Natalie, and I'm a book addict!" but there's nothing wrong with that! Nope! Other than my increasing lack of shelf space.
