What I #read in April. ’23 & what I #amreading!

Today the IWSG Book Club launches our May discussion about what we are reading. It doesn’t have to be a book club selection just something you are excited about. Let’s all share what we are reading, and perhaps, we’ll find something to add to our own TBR lists. Click this link to go straight to the discussion. I’m currently reading Brides of Maracoor. I plan to start others but want to finish this first.

In April 2023, I completed 1 and ½ titles. My goal was 2-3. I had to DNF one title and decided to hold off on a picture book for a while. I am still on track with my Goodreads Challenge.

Please join the IWSG Book Club today on Goodreads for two short discussions about the two books we featured in the month of December. There are still 9 days left in this month so there’s no rush. We encourage you to share your reviews and or thoughts. Discussions will remain open indefinitely, so stop by anytime, even if you haven’t read the book(s).

#iwsgbookclub Dec. 2022 Poll & Check-in

Please join the IWSG Book Club today on Goodreads for a short general poll. Aside from spotlighting one IWSG member book and a craft book each month, we also want to engage in bookish whimsy and encourage others to have a healthy reading lifestyle. You don’t have to be reading or have read the 2 current featured books to be able to participate in this poll, so please, join in the festivities. Click the image below to see our fun poll. This month the topic is about your 2022 reading experience. We’re also taking our check-in poll today to see who is or isn’t reading the featured books.
