[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] Welcome to 'my' little bookclub! Which I'd rather call our bookclub ! Why? Because I am very very interested in your suggestions, your opinions, your feedback and sharing with you my love of literature! Creating a bookclub seemed to be the logical next step after making videos on YouTube, the ultimate (?) interactive way to talk about literature with all of you. So each month, we'll have a book to read. Hopefully books from all over the world, that inspire us and make us better persons. I cannot wait to read you guys. xx Emy.

[close] Welcome to the Evolution Book Club. I have created this group so that we can read books together and discuss our thoughts and key leanrings from them. The structure of the group involves reading one book each month from a chosen genre, with two genres each year. The two genres I have chosen for 2017 are biographies and business skills. Please suggest any books or topics you think would be relevant and valuable to the group. Towards the end of each month, please share your thoughts on the chosen book on our group discussion forum. What did you take away from it? Our book for February and first book for 2017 is Shoe Dog, the story behind the creator or Nike. I've seen it on the shelves of many airport book stores during my travels and I'm looking forward to finally reading it. Happy reading. Fraser

[close] 2017 is a year for action. It’s more important than ever that American women try to understand each other in the face of such partisan division, and that we come together in the quest for social justice and equality. That means making calls to your representatives. That means marching for things you care about. That means making your voice heard and lifting each other up. That means educating yourself about experiences outside your own. Reading has been proven to promote empathy and understanding, and we believe that reading broadly is one small step in mending the divides of our nation. The books we will read will encompass a broad range of American experiences; we’ll read about Muslim-Americans, Latinos, African-Americans, LGBTQ+ individuals, undocumented immigrants, white working class women, and more. Because all of these people are American, and all of their stories are American stories. We'll be discussing the books during the last week of the month — so get your copy and get reading now!

[close] Dear Readers, As part of my work with UN Women, I have started reading as many books and essays about equality as I can get my hands on. There is so much amazing stuff out there! Funny, inspiring, sad, thought-provoking, empowering! I’ve been discovering so much that, at times, I’ve felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I’m learning and hear your thoughts too. The plan is to select and read a book every month, then discuss the work during the month’s last week (to give everyone time to read it!). I will post some questions/quotes to get things started, but I would love for this to grow into an open discussion with and between you all. Whenever possible I hope to have the author, or another prominent voice on the subject, join the conversation. If you fancy it, please join up and participate. Everyone is welcome. I would be honoured! Emma x

[close] Pantheonium was founded by a son of Poseidon, a daughter of Isis, a daughter of Brigid, and a son of Freyr. A safe haven for the children of any pantheon of gods. The school's symbol, a Pan-Hellenic Sun which represents the Olympian gods, was chosen as the crest for Pantheonium as the Grecian Gods were the Academy's biggest benefactors. Because the school promoted fraternization among those of different heritage, it was not uncommon for there to be demigods with lineages to more than one group of divines. Soon after, the gods began to follow their children's example, resulting in terrifying ichor disease that corrupts those infected, Sanguinare D'argento. Those who contracted the virus do not bleed gold, but instead a runny, silvery viscous substance, thinner than blood. Rumors of students ill with Sanguinare are no cause for concern, surely the Headmasters would have taken extra precautions to prevent such a deadly sickness to enter the school. Right?

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.
