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).

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.
