This week's round-up of mg fantasy and science fiction from around the blogs (11/1/2020)

Welcome to the first round-up of November!  Only 2 more months of 2020 to go.  I don't have anything to contribute this week (the stress is killing my desire to blog), but fortunately other people talked about mg sff books (and I am determined to be one of those people next week)!
