MOTM November 2017: Kislany

Post by bookowlie »

Please join me in congratulating the November 2017 Member of the Month, Kislany! She has been a member since August 2014, but has become a more active contributor in the past six months. Kislany writes well-written, thorough reviews with interesting commentary. She takes the review process very seriously and frequently posts about her experiences in the Private Review Team Support Forum (I discovered I am not the only one who has an author blurb phobia!). After taking steps to improve her review writing skills, Kislany recently started a thread to provide helpful tips for writing better reviews. She routinely supports other members through thoughtful comments on their reviews, and is also active in the General Reading Discussion and Community forums. Let’s give a hearty round of applause to Kislany. We’re glad you’re here!

Well deserved! It is suggested that you wear something on your head during the month of your reign. Of course, you should wear the head covering around your neighborhood. :) A turkey? A pilgrim hat?
