My October 2020 Reading Summary

 It was the first time in many years, if even ever, when we closed the house to trick-or-treaters last night. It didn't feel right this pandemic year. It's a scary enough year as it is. Nice and sunny and frosty this morning, the first day of November. I had a good October, when it comes to variety and number of books completed. My stats are below.
