Britt, there's still a wee error in the updates. Our November average (Msg.4) is too low. Almeta should be at 68.5 (not 35). That should bump our average by a few more points. Hope this helps.

Your personal story touched me greatly. I hope the book was therapeutic for you.

I think you meant Bryce. He has 13 points for Oct. plus 8 points for Nov.

Updated #208, now at 30 points for November.

Britt, welcome back and thanks for the updates. You have missed Almeta's second week points. Her November score is now 68.5 with a cumulative score of 205 (Msg.8). So our average just shot up again. Yay team !

Well, voting ends November 28th. The winning book becomes an "Upcoming Pre-read" topic on December 1st. Since this poll is for January 2022 books, the book will travel to "Current Reading" on January 1st. Hope this helps!

Just watched Kate Bush performing her Wuthering Heights song. That was scarier than the book!

Just a reminder that one of our upcoming books would qualify for this pop-up too. It's Around the World in 80 Days.

Oh, I know just the book! I'll be reading Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Congratulations to the EHRTBM group!
