Welcome to our annual winter reading poll! Tell us about a great book to curl up with on a frosty winter night, and what fragrance we should wear while reading it.
(If you want more recommendations, scrolling through the literature tag will bring up all the older reading polls.)

We ended up doing four seasonal reading polls over the past 12 months, and I would love to do that again this year if there is interest? Do tell me in the comments if that is too many. We’ll do a fall tv and movie poll on the 17th of this month, and then the splitmeet is coming up on the 24th.
Author birthdays this weekend: Thomas Wolfe, Gore Vidal and James Herriot on Saturday, Jackie Collins and Anne Rice on Sunday.
So meanwhile, please recommend a great book to add to our fall reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it…

Welcome to our annual summer reading poll! (And we’ve done lots of extra reading polls in the last year, so if you want more recommendations, see fall, winter and spring.) Author birthdays this weekend: Paul Dunbar, Helen Keller and Alice McDermott on Saturday; Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Eric Ambler on Sunday.
The poll: please recommend a great book to add to our summer reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it.

We already did an “extra” reading poll for fall last year, but COVID-19 has many of us reading more than usual, so we’re adding spring to the mix too. Please recommend a great book to add to our reading lists, and tell us what fragrance we should wear while reading it.
