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

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 subgenres and subplots.

Feb. ’22 General Poll

In January 2022, I read 5 books and am ahead in my Goodreads challenge, making my way through the Write With Fey challenge, and enjoying the IWSG book club reads. Check it out.
