The Widow By John Grisham Release Date: October 25, 2026 Ebook Available from WV Reads! The Widow - West Virginia Reads - OverDrive 3 Stars - Having not tried this author in awhile, the plot was my main reason for choosing this legal thriller. I admit maybe my bar was set a little high.

A Room of One's Own By Virginia Woolf Release Date: October 1929 Ebook Available from WV Reads! https://wvreads.overdrive.com/wvreads-brooke/content/media/573049 3 Stars - I attempted the audiobook first but I highly recommend just reading this one.

Devil in Winter By Lisa Kleypas Release Date: October 13, 2009 Ebook Available from Hoopla! The Devil in Winter Ebook by Lisa Kleypas | hoopla 3.5 Stars - A pleasant surprise in this seasonal series. St Vincent has all the charm of a man who is more villian than hero, and girls who swoon over the type are sure to love him. Evie, the wallflowerist of her group, turns out to be a truly perfect match for him, going toe to toe the whole book. A fairly fast paced period romance wo
