[close] Dear Readers, At A&A we encourage our readers to strive to reach their best possible self. SO what better way to accomplish that than with reading? Enter the idea for Our Best Shelf. Our Best Shelf is a book club founded by Athletes & Artists artistic director, Jillian. All are welcome! In order to accommodate our growing community of athletes & artists, I have created "Our Best Shelf" as a way to get involved and stay connected. (Shelf.. Self.. get it!?) I have been starting bookclubs everywhere new I have gone since grade school. Book clubs create a wonderful platform to connect and learn about your community. That being said, you can only imagine how over the moon I am about launching Our Best Shelf! The plan is to select and read one book a month as a group. Then, during the month's last week we will discuss the work. While I will be posting questions and discussion topics, the goal is to have this grow into an open discussion. Interested in Our Best Shelf? Please join up and participate. Everyone is welcome! Use the hashtags #OurBestShelf & #AthletesArtists to spread the word! I would be honored to have you, Jillian x

[close] A place for anyone who enjoys stories, in any or all forms, to share their oldest favorite, newest obsession, or anything in between. And yes, there will be games, and fun, and challenges, too. So come with me, to a far away land...

[close] A book club for music-related books, primarily biographies, but anything cool, interesting, intriguing is welcome. This group is for music lovers of all genres. Owned by the host of the podcast Rock Talk with Sommer, a feminist-minded podcast featuring women in the music industry + music news, opinions and new music.

[close] Potential new group members, look here! Are you a great conversationalist? Do you like to discuss all kinds of books? Do you like t.v. and/or movies? Do you want some Goodreads friends? We're in search of enthusiastic, chatty people to join our small and welcoming group! This is where we discuss different books, new and old, nonfiction and fiction. We don't do group reads but instead have a "Buddy Reads" folder where members can request a buddy for a read-along. In addition to all this, we discuss t.v. shows, movies, and a wide variety of other topics, but what unites us most of all is why we're on Goodreads: our love of reading. Before requesting membership, first, please read the rules. Second, please understand that this group's #1 goal is to maintain regular, active discussion.* Goodreads power users who log onto the site regularly and will post in the group each week are wanted! If you fit this description, please send a request. Note: All requests to join will be addressed within 48 hours. Sorry, but this group is closed to authors and members with private profiles. *Please integrate yourself early on. Make yourself known. If you haven’t posted at least once in six months, I'll assume you're not interested in the group or have forgotten about it and will delete you. If you'd like to rejoin after that, send a request again, but then please actively participate from that point on.
