Classics

[close] Greetings all! It may be still a fair few weeks away, but Victober (Victorian October) is coming up again this year. Victober is a month-long readathon all about reading Victorian literature. We usually have five challenges for people to complete alongside the general aim of reading more Victorian books than you usually would. This year's challenges will be announced in early September. We thought we'd create a Goodreads group this time to give everyone a chance to chat to other people taking part, share their TBRs, videos, current reads, etc. We'll also be using this group to host a group readalong. We'll be putting up a poll soon for you all to help us decide what author/book to pick. For the purposes of this readathon, the definition of Victorian literature is: any book/work of literature written or published by a British or Irish writer, or a writer residing in Britain or Ireland, in the years 1837-1901.

[close] This is a group for reading vintage British mysteries from the Golden Age and beyond, including the British Library Crime Classics series. Our group challenge for 2018 is to read the first 12 Inspector Alleyn mysteries by Ngaio Marsh. During 2017 we completed reading all the Miss Marple books by Agatha Christie for our challenge. We also read and discuss books by many other authors from the era, including a few from other countries.

[close] Welcome to our group! This group is for everyone. We have monthly reads, games and challenges, general discussions and a special corner for authors. I want this to be a fun and relaxed place for everyone. A place for readers to get together, discuss book and make friends. A positive atmosphere for bookworms. Even if you don't drink coffee, you are more than welcome to join!! :) This is a brand new group so we are still working on some stuff but please feel free to join us and invite your friends!!!
