February’s Book Pick & Belated Discussion Post: The Moth Girl by Heather Kamins
Editor’s note: Hi everyone, it’s your host, @LibraryOFDreaming. I want to apologize for the lack of updates here on ChronicallyIconicBookClub.com. I’ve been going through some intense health issues and I just haven’t had the capability to update the website. I’m hoping to get back in the groove but in the meantime the best way to keep up with all our book club’s news is to follow me over on Instagram. I’m going to do some housekeeping around here to catch you all up on some old updates. Happy Reading!
[ID: A blue book with the profile of a brown haired white teen with moths in her hair. The book is tilted on a white shelf so you can see its edges which are illustrated with white moth silhouettes on a dark blue background. Fake greenery and blue flowers surround the book with a green moth pin in front of it and a silver lantern to the right. Blue text is superimposed over the bottom right corner spelling out “February Read Chronically Iconic Book Club”]
It’s time to discuss the #ChronicallyIconicBookClub’s February read, THE MOTH GIRL by Heather Kamins.
Although I (@LibraryOfDreaming) personally loved THE MOTH GIRL this was a bit of a decisive read for the group! Many people wanted more fantasy elements and struggled with the main character. We all shared a love for one of the side characters, our beloved Pam!
