#iwsgbookclub Nov. 2021 Micro Discussions

Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. readers and friends.

Here’s an interesting article by Chrys Fey if you are open to alternative ways to appreciate this time of year.

Please join the IWSG Book Club today on Goodreads for two short discussions about the two books we featured in the month of November. There’s still five 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).

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 here if you’re not up for heading to social media.

I knew this book had a time travel element to it based on reading the description, but it wasn’t quite what I expected. Sometimes it’s nice to read the unexpected. I enjoyed this story and will think about how I want to rate it later on. For now, I’ve already downloaded the next book to see how the overall story ends.

This was a super short read. I enjoyed it but wished there was more to it. If you have time to read this post, you could totally read this ebook (if you’re up for it.)

#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.
