Our Swift X-ray/UV monitoring campaigns have shown that the evolution of novae is much more complex than previously believed. We have observed a high degree of variability in X-rays for many novae. We focus on the supersoft source phase, which is the brightest phase in X-rays. The aim is to complement our Swift observations with studies of short-term variations from which the spin period of the white dwarf can be determined and to obtain a high-resolution X-ray spectrum from which the chemical composition and the dynamics of the expanding shell can be determined. Since all observed novae have behaved differently, we need to observe many novae in order to achieve a more general understanding. We request 60ks to observe the next nova that has a Swift count rate of 0.5 cps or more.
