#iwsgbookclub Nov. 2021 Poll & What I #read in Oct.

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 seasonal reading.

Nov. ’21 General Poll

In October 2021, I read 1 romantic suspense and it was an IWSG Book Club spotlight read. I read 1 YA space opera, not a book club read but a book written by an IWSG member. Lastly, I read 1 historical mystery (ghost story) written by an author from my local area (Coastal Virginia). Check it out… Sorry I didn’t post my August and September reviews. Click to watch this video if you’d like to see them.
