#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).

You can also click the Goodreads links to see the thorough reviews. At the bottom of this post, you’ll also be able to watch a video of my monthly reviews, if that’s more your style.
