Groups

[close] "For Indians /non Indians/Earthlings/Aliens, who have a zeal to read and are passionate about books" says the Creator of this group :) To add to it, this group is for just about any gentle, non-argumentative soul who is interested in anything Indian. Make sure you bring along a good sense of humor ;) and a broad mind. This is a democratic group,that wants to discuss books, make friends and basically just have fun. Moderators are here just to do some dirty jobs, so feel free to suggest any ideas you might have to improve this group. We started off as an open group, but then seemed to attract all sorts of rude, abusive disruptive elements. So with great deliberations we decided to make it a private group attempting to screen in those who are genuinely interested, and not those who join for promoting their work by hook or by crook, and those who are bent upon stalking vulnerable individuals. Accepting you here shows our trust in you, and you may reciprocate being an active, friendly member ;-) We are a peace loving group and would like to stay that way! Authors are welcome, but please try to stick to the "promotions" folder if you want to promote your book. If you are interested in answering questions about the creative process of writing and the anxious experience of publishing , there is a separate thread for you :) We have a facebook page too! If you know of Book-a-holic Indians who aren't aware of this group, feel free to spread the word by 'like'-ing the page :)

[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] Nel Salotto dei lettori ogni amante della lettura è il benvenuto! ❤ Prendete una tazza di thè e accomodatevi, chiacchiereremo insieme delle nostre letture, conosceremo nuovi titoli, generi e autori. C'è posto per tutti, non temete, entrate pure!

[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] No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association). Her latest collection, The Missing Museum, is a winner of the 2015 Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize.

[close] A book club for residents of the Roaring Fork Valley that don't mind going off on tangents.

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place for readers to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] This is the reading club hosted by Colleen Houck, the author of the NYT bestselling series TIGER'S CURSE & the NYT bestselling novel REAWAKENED. Once a month we will be reading and discussing one book that Colleen selects and, if occasion permits, she will host a chat here with the author of the book.

[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. Since then it has evolved into a valuable resource and support system for authors who have or would like to self-publish. 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.
