[close] We choose a "tag" (a theme) each month, and share, discuss, and review great books that fit the tag! The tag for March 2018 is autobiography. Come play with us! To see which books fit this month's tag, you'll find them on the linked Goodreads shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/autobiography

[close] This is a group for everybody who likes to play, especially with book titles and categories. So Grab a Book and Play Booktivity! AUTHORS - Please confine your self-promotion to the PROMOTE YOURSELF HERE! thread. 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!

[close] If you love a good story whether it’s on the page or the screen, then this group is for you! We love discussing book-to-movie adaptations, debating the age-old question of which one is better (spoiler alert: it’s usually the book). Twice per month we read a book and watch the corresponding movie. Join us on our multi-medium adventure! Our group reading schedule is listed in the "General" folder. Remember, we take your suggestions!

[close] I wanted to start a group where book lovers can come talk about any book. I wanted to get like minded people together for friendship and fun. We can have coffee or tea and talk books all day. I love all types of books/genres and I love to read and review in my spare time so I thought maybe more authors and readers may come here to meet. I want to support books/authors and book lovers. Everyone and anyone can join!

[close] No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association). Her latest collection, The Missing Museum, is a winner of the 2015 Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize. She serves on the executive board of VIDA: Women in Literary Arts and is co-editing with Heidi Lynn Staples the anthology, Big Energy Poets of the Anthropocene: When Ecopoets Think Climate Change.

[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.
