Welcome to the November monthly link-up for the 2018 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight!

Say goodbye to warm weather and Daylight Savings because November is here! Hang in there, we’re almost done with 2018…

The winner of our September discussion challenge giveaway was Angela @ Angel’s Guilty Pleasures. She let Nicole surprise her with a book picked from a list, and Nicole doesn’t know if she got it yet, so she’s not going to spoil which one she sent, just in case. We hope she loves it, though!

If you don’t know what this challenge is all about or haven’t signed up yet (but want to), head on over to the challenge sign-up page to learn more!

Even if you’d rather not join, we hope you’ll stop by occasionally to check out the MANY discussion posts that are being linked up here – there’s lots of great discussions going on!

We’re no longer giving discussion ideas each month (because not that many people seemed to need them), BUT you can check out our list of the topics we’ve suggested over the past two years if you need some inspiration. There are LOTS of ideas there, and I’m sure you’ll find one you love!

Looking for even more inspiration, or want to see some discussion posts as an example? Check out the discussion posts on Feed Your Fiction Addiction or It Starts at Midnight!

Featured Blogger(s!)

This month’s featured blogger (as chosen by Nicole) is Krysta @ Pages Unbound Reviews. She’s posted so many thoughtful discussions that Nicole had trouble choosing just two!

• Where Are the Realistic Male Characters in YA?
• Is Reading Really Such a Superior Hobby?

(Commenting on any of the discussions at Pages Unbound will give you extra entries in the giveaway, by the way—if you already commented on them when they went up originally, that counts too!)

Since Nicole is mourning the loss of daylight here in the US (not completely—neither of us is in Alaska), she’s using darkness as the giveaway theme. You can choose a book with a dark cover, with dark in the title or with a dark theme. As always, the giveaway is open to anyone that The Book Depository ships to (or, if TBD doesn’t ship to you, you could choose an ebook!) up to $17 value.

Make sure to link up all of your November discussion posts here. This linky and the November giveaway will be open until December 7th (to give people a little extra time to link up – just in case you’re disorganized like we are). If, by some chance, you forget to link up a post this month, you can add it to next month’s linky (but no duplicates, please).

Go forth and discuss!
