[close] A book group for all those who love sci-fi and fantasy. We read three books per month, one from each genre, plus a carefully curated moderators special. Whilst there are plenty of SF/F book groups out there on GR, this one was created with the intention of staying on the smaller side. Our current Books are... The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden [FANTASY], Artemis by Andy Weir [SCI-FI], Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson [MOD SPECIAL] Please no authors promoting their books - we will delete these posts without warning.

[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. *** Click this link to CREATE 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 website (not the mobile app) - 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. 8. To follow a topic/thread, click "Notify me when people comment" (on the desktop website) or "Topic Notification Settings" (on the mobile app) near the bottom of the page. 9. Authors who spam the group will be blocked. Thanks for your help. icon by http://bibliophile1887.livejournal.com

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and 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 group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it 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 three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or just a really popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a "bookshelf" catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] Officially 10k Members Strong & Climbing!! Building and supporting a community of self-published authors dedicated to both sharing experiences and learning as equals. Founded in January 2015, this groups was initially designed as a way for me to support indie authors by reading their work and featuring them on my website. Since then it has evolved into a valuable resource and support system for authors who have or would like to self-publish. With the help of some patient and efficient moderators, Riley Amos Westbrook, BB Wynter, VM Sawh, Christina McMullen, Dwayne Fry, GG Atcheson, Melissa Jensen, Ashley Capes, J. Daniel Layfield, & CB Archer, Support Indie Authors fights to help indie authors rise above the stigma that is self publishing, as well serves to provide a supportive environment for those who want to share experiences, ask for help, and simply find some friends with common goals.
