Groups

[close] A group for women! We are quite relaxed and have very few rules. Here's the deal: I tried some other groups here at GoodReads but either I didn't like the vibe, or their rules (some groups kick you out for not participating enough!) or didn't feel welcome and comfortable. So I decided to try to get a group of my own going. And here we are 8 years later! This is a fun, social, lighthearted, no-pressure group and I hope you enjoy being part of it. This is a casual and laid back group of friendly, easy-going women readers with a variety of tastes. Each month there are usually three categories to choose from. Sometimes we have polls to vote on books, authors, topics, etc. You can read one of the books for the month, or all of them, or none. An ongoing feature we have is a "Member's Choice" read for the month, express your interest in being chosen in the thread titled "Member's Choice 2018". It's been fun to: read the same book; discuss it as we go; challenge ourselves to read books we may not have otherwise chosen; and of course, expand our "to-read" lists as we hear about books from other members. I always welcome input and suggestions. Who is this group NOT for? only a select few: men; MEAN GIRLS; authors who are self-promoting, and women who try to come off as super scholars, and try to put down other group members for not being nearly as intelligent or worldly as they are, this is not English class. Effective 2.1.13, we will no longer promote author's or member's books and /or blogs. Please do not ask me. There are plenty of other groups for that so please do not do that here. However, if you are an author who wants to join a great group of readers, without pushing your own works, please do join us! Additional Note: Please do not start a new discussion unless you have contacted a moderator and one of us has given you the OK. The exception to this of course, is under the Buddy Reads folder.

[close] Welcome to our group! We are a friendly group whose goal is to read through Boxall’s list of 1001 books. Many of us were together as a group over at Shelfari but then migrated over here. We love new members and we hope you feel at home in our group! We are a little different from the larger 1001 Goodreads group because we are a smaller, more intimate, group and this allows us to have more in-depth discussion of books. Each month we vote and select books from Boxall's list. We also do longer seasonal reads, an annual read, and various reading challenges throughout the year. We hope you jump right in and start exploring the list with us.

[close]    In a location known to very few stands a mansion grander than words can describe. With countless floors, and numerous more rooms, seemingly endless gardens, and furnishings worthy of a palace, any sane person would think it a paradise. But this architectural masterpiece of extravagance holds many secrets. Behind each locked door, a woman is trapped. This mansion is owned by the Wrenninford family, who have practiced polygamy for centuries and never intend to cease. Their brides come as gifts, some are bought, abducted, given. Some are treated kinder than others, some feel it's a prison while others embrace the safety of it all, none are allowed to leave. While the living conditions of each bride are up to their groom, this mansion truly is a cage for every single person who inhabits it. Girls who find themselves in the mansion will be surrounded by opulence and waited on as if they are royalty, but is it enough?
