[close] A Goodreads group for students and staff of Alamo Heights High School! Happy Reading!

[close] "It reminded me of _____ but in space." "I read _____ in high school, and it was the only book I actually liked." "It's like a cross between _____ and _____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ _____?!?!!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This book club is for those of us for whom, if you're anything like me, one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on the classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to supplement our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it just sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose two books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us) 2) a "modern" classic or just a really popular book that is likely already on our to-read list but we haven't gotten around to it yet. Even if you've already read these books, re-readers are HIGHLY encouraged to help the rest of us amateurs navigate the best (or worst) of the best-sellers. Come one, come all!

[close] (Click on the cover to go to discussion) We believe reading is fun and find unique and challenging ways to spread the love of reading. The aim of our book club is to entice you, grab your imagination, and create an environment where people can discuss their thoughts on books in a warm, friendly, and inviting atmosphere thereby making everyone's reading experience more fun. Although reading is seen as an individual activity, you may be surprised to learn that reading challenges, "book of the month" discussions, reading games and competitions all help to enrich our love of books, read more, and find great book recommendations.

[close] We are an international group who share an interest in reading all genres of books. We focus on four main areas: 1. Monthly Group Themed Read. Each month our members select a small set of related books to read and discuss as a group. See our bookshelves to see our past reads. 2. Challenges. We have monthly challenges based on various themes. We also have a year-long challenge. 3. Bi-monthly TBR Topplers. Now that we've given you all sorts of recommendations, we support your efforts to read the books that you've shelved. Every other month join us in a 'read-a-thon' to help reduce your groaning shelves. 4. Buddy Reads. Do you want to read a book and discuss it with others? Our Buddy Read section is open for this purpose. We're a relaxed, non pressure group of folks who just want to have fun, and to read some great books in the process.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place for readers to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series – which includes the non-fiction books Genius Intelligence, Medical Industrial Complex & Bankrupting the Third World – by James Morcan & Lance Morcan.

[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.
