#IWSG June 2022- TBD

My post will be late. Obviously, it’s not here yet. I tried to put it together but simply couldn’t get my mind to focus after addressing an emotionally taxing experience at my day job. It may not get posted until late Wednesday or early Thursday EST, but it will eventually go up.

Post went up 6/1/22 at 9:14 am.

#iwsgbookclub May 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 May. There are still 5 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).

Up on the Roof and Other Stories: Revised with Bonus Short Story by Judy Ann Davis. Please click the image below to join the short discussion.

Here’s a bonus question, if you’re up for it. Please leave your answer in the comments below. See my answer just below the question.

Q: Not all relationships have a happily ever after. Can you name one story in the collection that doesn’t and why?

A: (My response) – The Bellhop and the Poet. In this story, one lover is kind of looking down on the other for their lack of ambition. When the one lover thinks they have a chance to gain riches, they promise the other never-ending love. Their insincerity is repaid by harsh reality.

#iwsgbookclub May. 2022 Check-in

It’s time for a monthly check-in. We, at the IWSG Book Club, invite you to share your thoughts and or progress on our current member spotlight books via the social media platform(s) of your choice. I’ll be sharing my thoughts below and encourage you to share in the comments below, if you’re not up for heading to social media.

I finished reading an ARC I received which pushed back some of my book club reading and I haven’t even picked up my #ReadWithFey selection yet. This hurt shoulder has been a real pain; I feel like I’m moving so slow because of it.

I’m 74% through this collection and have really enjoyed it. So far, I find it relaxing to read a little of this between stressful tasks.

I’m 30% through this and find it quite adorable at the moment. The pet fly is cute and the blend of magic and tech really appeals to me.
