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

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 TBR lists.

Dec. ’21 General Poll

In November 2021, 1 superhero preview graphic novel, 1 very short story (a western- IWSG), 1 YA mystery (second chance tale), 1 paranormal comedy, 1 time-travel novella (IWSG), 1 middle-grade fantasy adventure, and 1 romantic suspense. Check it out.
