WWEnd Grand Master Reading Challenge: August Review Poll
Here, at last, is the GMRC review poll for August! (Worldcon has thrown a monkey wrentch into just about everything here on WWEnd so we’re a bit behind on the GMRC and all over the site for that matter.) We featured 7 reviews in the blog last month, including 2 reviews each by 2 different reviewers, and it’s time to read the reviews and cast your vote for the best.
Remember, you don’t have to be a GMRC participant to vote so head on over to the forum and cast your vote now. Since we’re getting a late start we’ll leave the poll open until September 20th.
