#iwsgbookclub Jan. 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 January. There are still 4 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).

I’ve gotten behind on my public reading goals this month as I continue to read and review a series of books in unpublished ARC form. I like being able to help out a young writer discovering the world of editing and rewrites for the first time.

WIP- I’m enjoying this book so far. It’s not a story you have to think too hard about, at least not at the point I’ve reached.

Haven’t started this one yet, but that is intentional. Since this is a short story, I’m putting it off to the last minute. Sometimes it’s nice to read a short standalone.

#iwsgbookclub Jan. 2022 Poll & What I #read in Dec.

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 setting goals and doing challenges.

Jan. ’22 General Poll

In December 2021, I read 3 books, but one was an unpublished ARC that I can’t talk about yet. Other than that, it was my two IWSG book club reads: a YA science fiction and a YA paranormal. Check it out.
