#iwsgbookclub Dec. 2021 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 December. There are still 8 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).

Being the geek girl that I am, I was right at home with this story. I can see how someone not into heroes and villains might struggle with this, though. I found it lighthearted and enjoyable. I will elaborate more when I write my review.

I’ve read one other book by this author and realize that I need to read more of her stuff. I like the way she takes well-known- overused tropes- and gives them a fresh spin. Even for someone who isn’t into supernatural stories, I think this has a greater appeal. Can’t wait to get my thoughts together for a more thorough review.
