[close] April 2019 Group Reads - The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart and The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle _ _ _ _ _ “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] Nothing makes me happier than reading a great book -- unless it's the chance to talk to other people who've loved that book as well. Elizabeth and I both love to read, and we know that the listeners of the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast love to read, too. So...announcement! We decided to launch the Happier Podcast Book Club. Several times a year on the Happier podcast, we'll announce a book, and then some episodes later, we'll discuss it. Remember: Whenever it is and wherever you are, there’s always a book is waiting for you.

[close] A group for readers of all genders who wish to broaden their reading horizons by reading more books by women authors. And more women authors that perhaps people haven't heard of before. We currently run two group reads each month: One monthly group read, each following a different theme (e.g. Classics, Sci-Fi, Translated Fiction, LGBT etc.) with the odd 'Open Choice' month. Our second group read alternates between Non-Fiction book and our 'Read Around the World' challenge where we pick a book from a country we haven't 'visited' before' 2019 Reading Plan Rules 1. This is not a women-only group. All genders are welcome, and all should be made to feel welcome. 2.That said, this group is intended to be a safe space. Disagreement is fine but harassment or trolling will not be tolerated. 3. Always remember that good feminism is intersectional! Authors 1. No self-promotion.

[close] This is a group for people who want to read old books and classics and then discuss them as a group. The mods choose themes each voting period (usually 4-8 weeks depending on the length of the current group selection) and the group will choose a book to read that fits the theme. Everyone is welcome who loves to read and talk about what they have read and take and give some tips for getting through those old classics sitting on your book shelf.

[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.
