We present optical light curves of twenty-nine novae in M31 during the 2009and 2010 observing seasons of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). The dynamicand rapid cadences in PTF monitoring of M31, from one day to even ten minutes,provide excellent temporal coverage of nova light curves, enabling us to recordthe photometric evolution of M31 novae in unprecedented detail. We also detecteight of these novae in the near ultraviolet (UV) band with the GalaxyEvolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite. Novae M31N2009-10b and 2010-11a showprominent UV emission peaking a few days prior to their optical maxima,possibly implying aspherical outbursts. Additionally, our blue-shifted spectrumof the recent outburst of PT And (M31N2010-12a) indicates that it is arecurrent nova in M31 and not a dwarf nova in the Milky Way as was previouslyassumed. Finally, we systematically searched for novae in all confirmedglobular clusters of M31 and found only M31N 2010-10f associated with Bol 126.The specific nova rate in the M31 globular cluster system is thus about one peryear which is not enhanced relative to the rate outside the globular clustersystem.
