[close] Jan 2017 / Feb 2017 Group Reads - Now You See Me by SJ Bolton and Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith _ _ _ _ _ “It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky. Rain spattered a mysterious, hooded stranger who peered over the hedgerow at the darkened, quiet house.” Do lines like these quicken your heartbeat and pique your interest? Then Welcome to the Mystery, Crime and Thriller Group! This is the place for you. Join our intrepid moderators, “DCI” Donna, “Sherlock” Hayes, Nancy “Drew”, and “Cat Burglar” Bill as we read and discuss our favourites, recommend new authors and explore the Genre. This is the meeting place for readers to discuss their favourites and recommend new authors, and the place for budding and established mystery, crime and thriller writers to introduce us to their efforts. You can travel into the past to discover great characters like Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Maigret and others; journey around the world to other countries and meet Aussie Phryne Fisher, Norwegian Harry Hole and so many others; just relax on your couch and experience the wonders of Hercule Poirot, Lord Peter Wimsey, etc; or hard-boiled, tired gumshoes like Travis McGee and Kinsey Milhone. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonderfully varied world that is Mystery, Crime and Thrillers. Join us and have a great time! Your Moderators: Donna, Hayes, Bill and Nancy.

[close] A San Francisco Bay Area real estate group sharing their current and past reading lists along with a few of their favorite books.

[close] I began this group in January 2015 to support fellow indie authors by featuring them on my website blog. Since then it has turned into a great resource of helpful tips, marketing resources, and just overall support for all indie authors. You're welcome to join our group as long as you contribute and are encouraging in your comments. Please note, in order to fully enjoy our group and make it the best Self Publishing Resource that it can be, we ask that you give as much as you take. If you want your books to be read, read other Indie Author books. If you want help, give help in return. This is how Support for Indie Authors can be the Ultimate Self Publishing Resource and Indie Author Support Group. Please take a moment to read through our Read Me Topics under each Folder Category in order to get a better grasp of our guidelines and where you should you post your questions/comments/etc. Thank you all and Welcome to Support for Indie Authors! Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by visiting http://www.supportindieauthors.com/subscribe/ Sincerely, Ann Livi Andrews *Riley stole this from GG because everyone asks this question.* Bookwhack: Think about bookwhack as bird droppings. Everyone is having a picnic. The sun is shining. The food is good. The conversation is flowing. Then, suddenly a bird flies down and leaves a dropping, ruining the day for everyone. Bookwhacking is doing the same with your book. Going into threads and dropping your book name or cover or blurb without being invited to do so. You fly over, drop the bomb. and leave. Sometimes you stay to add a short comment but the sole purpose of it is to make people think you actually had something to say. In other words, it's finding any reason to push your book in the face of people who were not expecting it.

[close] A group for readers of all genders who wish to broaden their reading horizons by reading more books by women authors. And more women authors that perhaps people haven't heard of before. We currently run two group reads: One monthly group read, each following a different theme (e.g. Classics, Sci-Fi, Translated Fiction, LGBT etc.) with the odd 'Open Choice' month. Every other month we pick a book from a different continent as we attempt to 'Read Around the World' of female authors.

[close] Are you searching for the NEXT best book? Are you willing to kiss all your spare cash goodbye? Are you easily distracted by independent bookshops, big name book stores, and library or used book sales? Are your bookshelves currently a little tight of space? Joining this group is highly addictive. In a matter of weeks, your TBR list will be longer than you are tall, you will be wondering how the heck you walked into a bookstore for one little book, and walked out with two bags crammed full of new novels you never knew you wanted. Your bookshelves will be bursting at the seams and you wont remember what color the rug was as it will be buried under all the new purchases you have made! We are not here to hold you back, or pat your hand as you try to be strong and cut back on your purchases. We will be rallying behind you, chanting your name as you enter the bookstore, and we will throw a book-party in your honor when you come back and share all the wonderful new books youve adopted with us! I would love for you to follow TNBBC on Facebook and Twitter!!! And be sure to check out book reviews and special indie series and spotlights on TheNextBestBookBlog.blogspot.com. **** If you are new to the group, and are an author, writer, blogger, moderator for another group, radio personality.. etc... please contact me by sending me a message before you post a new thread about your books, writings, blogs, groups, radio shows.. etc.. and also check out the Rules for posting those types of threads under the "Rules/ Important Announcements" folder.

[close] Do you want to broaden your reading horizons and discover new books, authors and genres? Do you love reading challenges? Do you live for competition? Do you have a hard time deciding what you want to read next? Or do you simply enjoy discussing books with fellow readers? Each season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) presents a new challenge with a series of reading related tasks. Each task is assigned a point level and then it's up to you to decide which tasks you'll attempt (or if you want to try to finish them all!) and then find and read the books that fit. It’s a fun way to stretch your reading radius and discover new books, authors, and genres. But be careful…it’s addictive! Your to-be-read shelf may never be the same! Begun by Cynthia in The Next Best Book Club, the SRC has grown through the participation of its members. To find out more about how the Seasonal Reading Challenge works, and how YOU can be a part of it, check out The Seasonal Reading Challenge Explained and Getting Started.

Please Note: Due to the mature nature of some books discussed in this group, membership in this group is limited to those 18 years and older.

[close] A group created for those who love a great challenge. We'll read our way through various reading lists out there. Maybe it's a list of the best 100 novels of all time, or the top ten fantasy novels of the year, or the list of the best books to read on Sunday, or the greatest books over 500 pages written in the last decade, whatever. Let's complete some reading lists and have a great time doing it. To kick things off, I've chosen TIME Magazine's All-TIME Best 100 Novels. There are some great books on this list, and it should make for some excellent conversation. Aaaaand, to make it even crazier, we're starting with Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace! Go big or go home! Book discussion begins Monday, March 16!

[close] This is a group for those who participate in NetGalley.com to discuss the books that they have been reading from the website.
