I do love October, except … it means winter is quickly approaching. And I am a warm weather guy (my ancestry is from the deserts of North Africa).

Glad you can enjoy the heat but I can't. South Texas about killed me as I look like a vampire and prefer night time!! Thanks for voting.
Great idea! I was inspired to make another list for February: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...There should be a list for every month.

December should be easy at least, every Xmas story ever.

I actually have already made a few of these and will look for more. Please send me any links that you find for this as it is very interesting to me. I am currently reading Death of a Dentist which seems to be set in November in Scotland so some very bad storms have come in. Is there a list for November already?
I didn’t check the whole list of lists that came up for November in the search, but there is one for November in the Title: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... I also added the tag Month Settings to both this list and the February one, so include that in any new lists. That should make this easier. 😹

Thanks so much! I will look at this one now.
