The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy ★★★★★ (5.0)
in progress 57% The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For and Believe by Richard Rohr
Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells ★★★★ (3.5)

Definitely:
Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova ★★★★ (3.5)
in progress 28% Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Probably:
skipped Jazz by Toni Morrison
Journey by Moonlight by Antal Szerb ★★★ (3.5)
skipped Brotherless Night by V.V. Ganeshananthan

Possibly:
skipped Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (re-read) ★★★★ (4.5)

I think this will be my worst month for reading as it will be my busiest. However, I will be finishing up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as I think I only have about two chapters to go.
I will then be starting Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and going through that week by week.

I have also started The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil by Philip Zimbardo, a psychologist who was featured prominently at the beginning of my course. Interesting but a little terrifying so far.
