Groups

[close] We will be reading literary books by women from all over the world, whether originally written in English, or translated from another language. Join us to discover, and discuss the work of, many wonderful female authors. Everyone is welcome! We also have a Reading Challenge, the idea of which is to read one book from every country in the world over an extended period of time. The books can be either set in the country, or by an author born in that country. All of the authors must be female, or identify as female. You can, of course, choose to read any genre, fiction and non-fiction. There is no challenge deadline; simply read at your own pace. Books can be read in any order, and at any time.

[close] Can't remember the title of a book you read? Come search our archives and shelves. If you don’t find it there, post a description on our UNSOLVED message board and we can try to help each other out. 1. Please provide plot details (no spoilers) and the genre of the book you’re looking for in the Topic Header - not something vague like "Help! can't remember this book". Someone is more likely to recognize your book. 2. Don't create duplicates of the same request. You can "bump" your topic/thread (that is, post a comment to it) every 30+ days - or sooner if you remember more information. 3. Tell us what year you read or heard about the book. A range of years is fine. You can also mention when you think the book was published. 4. If you're searching for more than one book (or book series), start a new topic for each book/series. ► HOW TO FILL IN THE REQUEST FORM ► CREATE A BOOK REQUEST 5. After posting a request, please come back and check if another member has found it. Check both the Unsolved and Possibly Solved folders. If you've found your book, post a comment to let us know. You can add "Solved" to your Topic header and move it to a Solved folder by clicking "Edit" on the desktop website (not the mobile app) - or a Moderator will assist. 6. If you're helping someone find a book, please give suggestions only when you recognize the book or have a good reason to believe it's the book. 7. Don't delete your original post with the request. This information may help others looking for the same book in the future. 8. To follow a topic/thread, click "Notify me when people comment" (desktop website) or "Topic Notification Settings" (mobile app). 9. Authors who spam the group will be blocked. Thanks for your help.

[close] February 2019 Group Reads - A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins _ _ _ _ _ “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.

[close] We want to read fun stuff as a group and do lots of buddy reads on the side. And we like to chat a bit, too. Friends don't let friends read alone:) Please note: One of the reasons our group works so well is that we are a small group of engaged members. If a member is completely inactive for 6 months and has not communicated with one of the group moderators, then we may remove them from the group. In this way we limit the group to those individuals who are truly interested in participating, and we maintain the environment that makes SpecFic Buddy Reads the kind of group our members want.

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] Officially 10k Members Strong & Climbing!! Building and supporting a community of self-published authors dedicated to both sharing experiences and learning as equals. Founded in January 2015, this groups was initially designed as a way for me to support indie authors by reading their work and featuring them on my website.

With the help of some patient and efficient moderators, Riley Amos Westbrook, BB Wynter, VM Sawh, Christina McMullen, Dwayne Fry, GG Atcheson, Melissa Jensen, Ashley Capes, J. Daniel Layfield, & CB Archer, Support Indie Authors fights to help indie authors rise above the stigma that is self publishing, as well serves to provide a supportive environment for those who want to share experiences, ask for help, and simply find some friends with common goals.
