Welcome to the Love Bytes Book of the Week Poll. Here are the books which achieved a 4.5 or 5.0 review last week from our reviewers.
We had positive responses from last week’s poll so will be keeping the new format.
I think this is a record for Love Bytes…we have TWENTY-ONE books in this week’s poll!!!
The poll will stay open until next Friday at Midnight. As a reminder, the top two books from each week’s poll will roll into our Book of the Month poll at month’s end. Happy Voting!
