[close] The Kingdom of Fiore. It is a stable, neutral country with a population of 17 million. It is a world filled with magic, and magic is traded like common goods. In fact, it has become a part of daily life. There are even people who use magic to make a living, and those people are called mages or wizards. Mages belong to various guilds and perform their jobs on request. Countless guilds have been formed in this country. However, there is a certain mage guild located in a certain city. In past times, and today as well, it creates legends. Its name... is Fairy Tail.

[close] Warnning, if you are not already a NetGalley addict, you will soon become one by joining this group. Proceed with caution! Do you find yourself browsing and requesting NetGalley books even though you have 20 books waiting for you to read and review? Don't worry, you are not alone!!

[close] Can't remember the title of a book you read? Come search our archives and shelves. If you don’t find it there, post a description on our Unsolved message board and we can try to help each other out. 1. Please provide plot details (no spoilers) and the genre of the book you’re looking for in the Topic header, not something vague like "Help! can't remember this book". Someone is more likely to recognize your book. 2. Don't create duplicates of the same request. Bump your topic/thread every 30+ days (by posting a comment) -- or sooner if you remember more information. 3. Tell us what year you read or heard about the book. A range of years is fine. You can also mention when you think the book was published. 4. If you're searching for more than one book (or book series), start a new topic for each book/series. *** Here's a link for creating a new book request. *** 5. After posting a request, please come back and check if another member has found it. Check both the Unsolved and Possibly Solved folders. If you've found your book, post a comment to let us know. You can add "Solved" to your Topic header and move it to a Solved folder by clicking "Edit" on the desktop (not mobile) website -- or a Moderator will assist. 6. If you're helping someone find a book, please give suggestions only when you recognize the book or have a good reason to believe it's the book. 7. Please don't delete your original post with the request. This information may help others looking for the same book in the future. Thanks for your help. icon by http://bibliophile1887.livejournal.com

[close] This is a group for everybody who likes to play, especially with book titles and categories. So Grab a Book and Play Booktivity! We read, review and discuss any Book, Genre or Author. We vote on a monthly theme – anything from a specific genre to a cover image – and then post our reviews/ratings of books we’ve read that fit that theme. We also do monthly challenges which are strictly for FUN. We might also have challenges that cover a longer time frame – quarterly or yearly. But again, it’s all just for FUN, and as an added incentive to get some of those books off the TBR. (DISCLAIMER: We do NOT promise to reduce your tbr .. in fact, the exact opposite is likely to happen). Come and join us! It doesn't matter which genres you prefer. Everybody can play! AUTHORS - Please confine your self-promotion to the PROMOTE YOURSELF HERE! thread.

[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.
