Novellas in November is hosted by Cathy of 746 Books and Rebecca of Bookish Beck. Thank you for keeping up the tradition. Looking forward to see what you all are reading. I usually do not read a lot of novellas, so am eager to get inspired by your reading.
Week 1 (starts Wednesday 1 November): My Year in Novellas

I must have been inspired last year for it turns out I have read 13 novellas this year. Here they are:
The Sealed Angel by Nikolaj Leskov
Don't Look Now by Daphne du Maurie
The Apple Tree by Daphne du Maurie
The Birds by Daphne du Maurie
Not After Midnight by Daphne du Maurie
The Blue Lense by Daphne du Maurie
Foster by Claire Keegan
Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan.

Reading this year
I don't really have a very fixed list of what to read. I will let myself be inspired. I did listen to Galatea by Madeline Miller, and this is a very short story. I have also started Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, and I really like her writing. I don't think I have ever read anything by her. She is one of those authors where you tend to watch the movies, but not read the book. Obviously, I have to change my mind here.
From my initial post I would like to read the following novellas.
Come Rain or Come Shine by Kazuo Ishiguro (I have never read anything by him)
Glaciers by Alexis M. Smith (new author to me, comes recommended)
Jakob von Gunten by Robert Walser (sounds like an interesting author, which I can also mix with German Literature Month).
Oh, didn't know this one by Ishiguro, but I would probably consider it more a short story than a novella. My favorite by him is Never Let You Go, though I have loved others as well. He writes in a variety of genres. I have to check with Daphne du Maurier, I thought these were short stories, but maybe not after all. I'm also planning on reading Walser's. Emma @ Words And Peace
I'm not sure what novellas I am going to read this month either. I've found a copy of Western Lane, and I may start there.
I haven't heard of Come Rain or Come Shine by Ishiguro! I'll have to look that one up! Karen @ https://thesimplyblog.org/
