#iwsgbookclub Oct. 2022 Poll & What I #read in Sept.

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 audiobooks.

In Sept 2022, I read 4 titles, but only finished three. This month I will be focusing on lighter, silly, and fun reads.

 Below you’ll find my star ratings and review blurbs for each title I completed in the indicated month. If you have not signed up for my newsletter, please consider doing so. That’s where I post an overview of what I’ve been reading, watching, and writing quarterly, as well as talk about my love of reading while offering tips for having a healthy reading lifestyle. 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.

Excerpts FridayFiction-ToiBoxEdition WIP Updates

Lover’s Lodge by Toi Thomas

Thanks to Scot Webb for the use of this image. (Posted on April 26th, 2018).

Over on my Patreon account, I like to share public (free) content from time to time, and this is one of those cases. I’ve written a spooky, yet, kind of funny story, I thought you guys might like to see since I haven’t been sharing my writing here much. I hope you’ll give it a look. It’s called Lover’s Lodge. I think it will make you laugh and cringe, just a little.

Here’s my latest WIP Update if you’d like to know more about what I’ve been writing. I try to update my Youtube subscribers with this monthly, and it’s free.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords #blacklivesmatter
