Self Help

[close] This is a group for readers AND/OR authors who would like to share books that can be downloaded using Kindle Select OR Kindle Unlimited. WE ALSO HAVE A REVIEW/SWAP KINDLE UNLIMITED PROGRAM. This allows you to receive a review, in returns for a review. ASK ABOUT THE PROGRAM! This is a great way for new authors to get their name out, and an even greater way for readers to discover new authors for free. Kindle Unlimited is running a free trial right now. You use your Amazon account to get a free, 30-day trial to Kindle Unlimited which allows you to download over 600,000 books using any Kindle software device (Kindle, Kindle for iPad, Kindle for iPhone, Kindle online reader).

[close] Welcome to the Online Nonfiction Book Club hosted by the St. Catharines Public Library! Each month we will introduce you to a great new nonfiction title. Questions will be posted by the moderator to generate discussion and encourage conversation.

[close] For over a quarter century, we have lived in an increasingly connected world. The rules and guidelines of journalism, media, and government are changing dynamically around us. Our modern world challenges us to connect more genuinely and deeply than ever before - and sometimes more than is comfortable. This group explores titles that help us connect to ourselves and to others. By strengthening our ability to connect genuinely, we can work towards stronger, more open, and more honest relationships in our interdependent world.

[close] **For the month of October we are starting a few days behind as it is our first time, so we will read the first book from Oct 4th-Oct 31st. November will resume on schedule starting from the 1st, lasting the month.** 1) The second week each month the book selection will be announced (for the following month). Each month a different member, chosen by the moderator, gets to make the selection (if it's a series book, only pick the first in the series unless we’ve it already). If you are going to participate please leave a comment stating that you are on board for that upcoming month. 2) The Sunday of the fourth week of the month, I will post a list of discussion questions. Some will be sort of generic (who was your favorite character?, did you like the writing style?) but other's will be very specific, spoilers even , so make sure you’ve been reading ;)(did you know she would pick him?, did you see that twist coming?, can you believe he's a vampire?). 3) During the fourth week of the month come back and answer the questions for the month in a comment, ask additional questions and comment on other people's thoughts. 4) At the end of the fourth week I will recap everyone's thoughts and announce the next month's book (chosen by a different member each month) to begin again on the 1st.
