Groups

[close] The members of The Backlot (formerly AfterElton) love to chat about the latest in gay books. With the site changing, we're moving the discussion here. Feel free to join the conversation!

[close] Benvenuti in questa arena le cui pareti non sono fatte di pietre, ma di libri e i cui pilastri sono i grandi classici della letteratura mondiale. Qui non troverete gladiatori, ma lettori. E tra essi alcuni si fanno chiamare sfidomani, razza pericolosa, assetata di sfide e di nuove proposte a colpi di raccolte di racconti, romanzi, saggi, testi teatrali. Ai vincitori, una corona di alloro fatta di punti e soddisfazioni letterarie; a tutti gli altri un meritato premio fatto di divertimento, letture condivise e suggerimenti libreschi. Il grande scopo? Svuotare la wishlist e lo scaffale strabordante. Il grande cruccio? Essere consapevoli che questo è impossibile perché una nuova entusiasmante lettura è già dietro l’angolo! © Un ringraziamento speciale a Ilaria per aver realizzato il bellissimo logo del gruppo ❤︎

[close] Goodreads Italia è un luogo d'incontro per gli utenti italiani e italofoni della piattaforma Goodreads. Il gruppo, nato nel 2010 e in costante evoluzione, è suddiviso in sezioni, la maggior parte delle quali si occupa prevalentemente di lettura, di libri e di tutto ciò che gravita attorno ad essi. Viene comunque dato respiro anche a svariati temi di carattere più generale, come ad esempio gli aiuti ai nuovi utenti o lo spazio off-topics. Per migliorare la gestione del gruppo, vi preghiamo di postare le varie discussioni nelle sezioni appropriate e di leggere il regolamento del gruppo. Grazie e benvenuti a tutti!

[close] A group for fantasy readers of all ages who appreciate adult literature. Welcome to the Duchy of Hedgerowshire, a tiny independent municipality hidden away among the great lakes and cornfields of the Rustbelt. You have been admitted to the castle and have gained entrance to our wonderful library and reading room, pictured in the masthead. So find a cozy chair, near the hearth or in a secluded alcove and enjoy the fantasy book of your choice.......and then discuss it with the rest of us here.

[close] We are bunch of ladies who love to read, drink chai/wine and chit-chat.

[close] The reviewing team for Apex Book Company! We will send anyone who signs up for our Minion’s Read and Review program their choice of any Apex novel, novella, short story collection, nonfiction, or anthology as a free eBook in exchange for an honest review of it. Notice I said honest. Positive reviews are great, but fake positive reviews help no one. We want you to write what you really feel about the Apex titles you read. The good and the bad. Once you’ve read the book and written up your review, we’d like you to post it in at least two places: Amazon and one other review site, such as Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, or even on the Apex website. Send our managing editor Lesley Conner an email (lesley@apexbookcompany.com) with links to your reviews, and you’re all set to choose another free Apex eBook to read and review. That’s it. Simple. You can read as many Apex titles as you’d like to for absolutely free as long as you are willing to review them on Amazon and one other site.

[close] Book Club Group

[close] For 49 years I've read mostly white folks opine on bible, theology, etc. Today I begin a new era - 49 years (let's hope!) with the writings of people of color. Join the group, and we'll share what we're reading.

[close] The reading group meets once a month. Our online activity is limited due to focus on real life interaction during the reading meetings. Conversations are usually carried on collectively during the meetings. If someone is interested to post things here for the reference it would help everyone else. The topic of each month’s reading varies based on the collective interest. We are reading books, essays, and materials on topics regarding contemporary art studies, politics, philosophy, criticism, etc. insideanairport reading group (Helsinki International Airport) is a group of people who are gathering in Helsinki International Airport continuously. It’s facilitated by Arash Akhlaghi. The study group is based on topics related to migration, colonialization/decolonization, subjectivity, violence, anxiety and paranoia.

[close] Publishing is rich with hidden gems and diamonds-in-the-rough that belong to self-published, indie and otherwise underappreciated authors. ** Please be aware before joining we DO NOT ALLOW AUTHORS TO SELF-PROMOTE BOOKS. All posts of that nature will be deleted without warning or hesitation. ** Our focus is recommending little known authors we're fans of and building a community amongst members who invest in this group. We support our own - readers and authors alike. Fringe Fiction is devoted to those who admire self-published works and want an outlet to discuss under-the-radar books with readers eager to discover fresh talent by obscure authors. Indie aficionados who welcome such recommendations and are enthusiastic about giving them are encouraged to let members know what they might be overlooking in the lesser-known corners of publishing. The authors mentioned in Fringe Fiction won’t be household names and their books aren’t New York Times bestsellers but each of them have fans, a few of them followings and all could use extra word-of-mouth. If you ever read a great book you felt deserved more attention or wished an unknown author all the success in the world, then consider contributing here. Book discussions and recommendations are the purpose of this group; however, self-published/small press authors will have spaces and opportunities to make themselves known to other members. We’re all supportive fans – both existing and potential – so treat the avid readers of Fringe Fiction with the utmost respect and they’ll consider your work with similar courtesy. To those still reading and like-minded - welcome to the Fringe!

[close] Leander Readers is an adult book club hosted by Leander Public Library. Each month we will read a book that has been chosen by staff members. Members need to be 18 years or older to join. If you're not eighteen, (or if you like to read ya as well) feel free to join our sister young adult book club, Literally Leander! You do not need to be a resident of Leander to take part in this club, nor are you required to have a card from Leander Public Library. We're open to any who love to read and talk about books! Participation is voluntary and will take place only online. Please feel free to join and invite your friends!

[close] A group that moved from the "What Happens After Death?" thread on Amazon when the forums closed because we wanted to remain friends. Topics are varied with a preponderance of chit chat (but little talk of the after life). Newcomers are welcome whether we've previously known you or not. PLEASE NOTE: We would like those who join with us to actively participate.

[close] THIS IS A GROUP FOR WOMEN - ONLY As we sadly say 'good bye' to the moderating of our group founder, Deb, we are elated that she will remain an active member. This group is a fun, supportive, solid group of women and as the new moderator I see no reason to change anything. So, as Deb said, we will remain... "A group for women! We are quite relaxed and have very few rules. I tried some other groups but either I didn't like the vibe, or their rules or didn't feel welcome and comfortable. So I decided to try to get a group of my own going. And here we are 9 years later! This is a fun, social, lighthearted, no-pressure group and I hope you enjoy being part of it. We are a group of friendly, easy-going women readers with a variety of tastes. Each month there are 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, all of them, or none. 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. 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. We will no longer promote author's or member's books 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 been given permission. The exception to this is the Buddy Reads folder." I always welcome input and suggestions. Thank you for considering this great group of women.
