#iwsgbookclub Mar. 2022 Micro Discussions

Please join the IWSG Book Club today on Goodreads for two short discussions about the two books we featured in the month of March. There are still 7 days left in this month so there’s no rush. We are hosting 3 short questions for each book we featured and 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).

Almost done with this one; should be completed by the end of the week. Enjoyable. Fun 90s references.

#iwsgbookclub Mar. 2022 Poll & What I #read in Feb.

Please join the IWSG Book Club today on Goodreads for a short general poll. Aside from spotlighting two IWSG member books 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 the use of music/art when writing.

Mar. ’22 General Poll

In February 2022, I read 9 titles, though I didn’t finish one. I read 75% of it and that’s enough for me to count it on my Goodreads challenge. Check it out.

You can also click the Goodreads links to see the thorough reviews. At the bottom of this post, you’ll also be able to watch a video of my monthly reviews, if that’s more your style.
