[close] Welcome to A Million More Pages. We are a challenge-based reading group that runs seasonal challenges centered around themes. June and July are our "down months" as we prepare for our new theme in August, but there will still be new challenges opening in June and July, so keep an eye out for them! By participating in challenges you earn Badges. They are just for fun but many people like to collect their badges as a way to display their reading accomplishments. You can participate in as many or as few challenges as you like...it's all for fun. All challenges and games belong to AMMP/AMMP Game Night and challenge creators. Please do not re-create our challenges in any other groups without our permission -- unless you created one of our challenges. Regarding Badges & Trading Cards: We would appreciate it if you do not duplicate this idea/creation in any other groups. If you would like to borrow the idea, PLEASE ask permission and give us intellectual credit. This is a unique feature to AMMP.

[close] Welcome to the Roundtable Our passions include literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. In 2016 we've planned structured reads in the following categories: Classics, Genre, Nonfiction, Recently published (<5 years) fiction, Literary Prize, Door Stops (more than 700pp), short stories, and various surprise themes. You can also sign on for one or both of our two yearly reading challenges or participate in our Around The World exploration of books from South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. The fine print: We're a smallish group, but active, and we'd like to have actively participating members. If you've been a member for more than four months without participating, we will assume that you are not interested in the group and you will be subject to deletion (one post after acceptance into the group is not considered active). This may take the form of participation in one of the structured features described above or something more free-form. While we've all got our guilty pleasures -- vampires in love, celebrity gossip, books from our childhoods -- these books don't fit with the group's vision and purpose. It's strictly "quality" writing for an adult audience; for us this means literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. We like to see a diversity of opinions about what we read and a strong passion for books is a plus. However, we ask that our group members keep it about the books; be respectful of others and refrain from the ad hominem. Finally, you'll see that we're a private group and you'll need to "apply" to join us. This means that we'd like to see a word from you about why you'd like to join and what you're hoping to get from a group. It also helps if we can see your shelves and your profile. If your profile is set to private, you will not be approved for membership in the group.
