'Tis the season for Book Awards and holiday reads! This month we have an exciting episode filled with talks of book award winners, Kindle news and a little bit of romance.

Holiday book discussions include thoughts on How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn and My December Darling by Lauren Asher before jumping into our Book Club discussion of the Victorian holiday novella, A Holiday by Gaslight by Mimi Matthews.

While Matthews book is sweet and romantic, it is surprising how quickly the discussion turned to more spicy topics in romance books. What do spreadsheets have to do with spice? Well, you'll need to check out this episode to learn more.

We will be back in a couple weeks with one of our favorite episodes of the year - Year in Review! Until then, Happy Reading!

It's October - one of the best times of the year! Join us as we take on all the fun of the spooky season!

Besides our chat on upcoming book adaptations, a mention of a recent Disneyland trip and an upcoming Ireland trip, and NaNoWriMo goals, we discuss many books that might give you something to add to your end of the month reading list.

Just a small sampling of the books we discuss:

• Slewfeet by Brom
• Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar
• Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
• Witchy Sour by Gina LaManna
• Eyes of Darkness by Dean Koontz
• The Church Beneath the Roots by Felix Blackwell

What more would you want during October than witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies and all matters of things that go bump in the night? Well, if you are a Robin Cook fan you're in luck! We do a little dive into medical thrillers as well.

There is definitely something for everyone this month don't miss out. We will be back next month with a guest author!

Don't forget to vote for us beginning Nov. 1 for the Indieverse Awards!
