You should do it. I nominated last yr Nov BOTM within days of joining the group and weeks later I had introduced myself. :D

I'd rather eat humble pie in the polls than eat 'bhav'.

Hey, this is a chill poll no tensions and no competition. No need for either humble pie or bhav. We just feel we can share a particular bk with this group, but someone or many woukd want to read another one. 🤷‍♀️
