[close] We choose a "tag" (a theme) each month, and share, discuss, and review great books that fit the tag! The tag for November, 2018 is literary fiction. The upcoming tag for December will be voted on around November 15th. 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/literary-fiction

[close] This group is private you must be approved by a moderator. Please read our full description to get a feeling for our group. We look forward to you joining us. Our group primarily reads books written by now-dead writers. We look for members who will be active participants, not lurkers. If you read classics, genre and modern fiction by authors no longer with us or wish to venture into this territory and discuss these books, welcome you'll fit right in. To see if you would be a good fit for our group, we like to check out your reading preferences (bookshelves). If you have a private profile we are unable to do this. You can friend Bookworm R to make this possible. Also be sure to answer the question when you click on 'Join' or membership will be denied. Self-promotion is not permitted. Authors are welcome to participate as readers only. Rudeness to fellow members will not be tolerated. Moderators will delete/ban members who behave inappropriately. We would like new members to introduce themselves on the Introduction thread, participate in the discussion of one selected book per year and comment at least once a month in any of the threads. The tone of the group is casual and friendly. Spirited discussions are encouraged, but short comments are also welcomed as we enjoy chatting with anyone who likes reading the works of dead authors, no matter how detailed the comments. We also have members whose English is not their first language, so no need to worry in that event. Our main purpose is to enjoy one another's company as we pursue our favorite pastime: Reading! Twice a year we will send out an email to those members with no activity to check on their interest in the group. If no activity is seen within a month, it will be assumed they have no interest in the group and will be deleted (one post after an email is not considered active). Deleted members may rejoin when they feel able to participate in the group.

[close] November 2018 Group Reads - Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene and The Hunt for Read October by Tom Clancy _ _ _ _ _ “It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky. Rain spattered a mysterious, hooded stranger who peered over the hedgerow at the darkened, quiet house.” Do lines like these quicken your heartbeat and pique your interest? Then Welcome to the Mystery, Crime and Thriller Group! This is the place for you. Join our intrepid moderators, “DCI” Donna, “Sherlock” Hayes, Nancy “Drew”, and “Cat Burglar” Bill as we read and discuss our favourites, recommend new authors and explore the Genre. This is the meeting place for readers to discuss their favourites and recommend new authors, and the place for budding and established mystery, crime and thriller writers to introduce us to their efforts. You can travel into the past to discover great characters like Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Maigret and others; journey around the world to other countries and meet Aussie Phryne Fisher, Norwegian Harry Hole and so many others; just relax on your couch and experience the wonders of Hercule Poirot, Lord Peter Wimsey, etc; or hard-boiled, tired gumshoes like Travis McGee and Kinsey Milhone. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonderfully varied world that is Mystery, Crime and Thrillers. Join us and have a great time! Your Moderators: Donna, Hayes, Bill and Nancy.
