Groups

[close] For readers of fantasy who are looking to find a partner or small group to read and discuss with! We run a monthly book club and several fun ongoing challenges. Come join us! :)

[close] Welcome to our group! We are a friendly group whose goal is to read through Boxall’s list of 1001 books. Many of us were together as a group over at Shelfari but then migrated over here. We love new members and we hope you feel at home in our group! We are a little different from the larger 1001 Goodreads group because we are a smaller, more intimate, group and this allows us to have more in-depth discussion of books. Each month we vote and select books from Boxall's list. We also do longer seasonal reads, an annual read, and various reading challenges throughout the year. We hope you jump right in and start exploring the list with us.

[close] Hello! If you’ve stumbled upon this group looking for a place to obsess/Fangirl/fanboy over books, this is the right place!! Feel free to add in topics just put them in the correct folders.

[close] Do you want to broaden your reading horizons and discover new books, authors and genres? Do you love reading challenges? Do you live for competition? Do you have a hard time deciding what you want to read next? Or do you simply enjoy discussing books with fellow readers? Each season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) presents a new challenge with a series of reading related tasks. Each task is assigned a point level and then it's up to you to decide which tasks you'll attempt (or if you want to try to finish them all!) and then find and read the books that fit. It’s a fun way to stretch your reading radius and discover new books, authors, and genres. But be careful…it’s addictive! Your to-be-read shelf may never be the same! Begun by Cynthia in The Next Best Book Club, the SRC has grown through the participation of its members. To find out more about how the Seasonal Reading Challenge works, and how YOU can be a part of it, check out The Seasonal Reading Challenge Explained and Getting Started.

[close] Hallo ihr Lesebegeisterten da draußen ;) Diese Challenge geht hier auf Goodreads nun in die 2 Runde. Ich freue mich eure erledigten Aufgaben zu bearbeiten, mich mit euch auszutauschen und zu unterhalten ;) Aber, worum geht es denn eigentlich?: Ich habe mir eine Challenge für euch überlegt, in der es nur um Buchreihen gehen soll. Das soll helfen gleichzeitig unseren SuB, aber eben auch unsere angefangenen oder immer noch vor sich hinwartenden Reihen zu beenden und anzufangen. Vielleicht geht es euch da ja wie mir? Ich habe gefühlt nur Reihen auf dem SuB. Dazu müsst ihr Aufgaben erledigen die ich euch stelle. Dabei könnt ihr Punkte sammeln. Anmeldung ist jederzeit möglich. Ich erstelle für jeden eine Challengeseite hier in der Gruppe, bei der ihr mir als Kommentar eure erledigten Aufgaben hinterlasst. So kann ich auch gleich sehen was neu ist. Ich trage die Aufgaben dann ein. Bei Fragen könnt ihr euch gerne an mich wenden, unter dem Topic: "Fragen und Anregungen" (hier schreibe ich euch auch immer wieder neue Dinge oder Fragen für die Challenge) oder auch per Privatnachricht. Die Aufgaben sind in Arbeit

[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.

Each month our members select a small set of related books to read and discuss as a group. See our bookshelves to see our past reads. 2. Challenges. We have monthly challenges based on various themes. We also have a year-long challenge. 3. Bi-monthly TBR Topplers.

Every other month join us in a 'read-a-thon' to help reduce your groaning shelves. 4. Buddy Reads. Do you want to read a book and discuss it with others? Our Buddy Read section is open for this purpose. We're a relaxed, non pressure group of folks who just want to have fun, and to read some great books in the process.

All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”.

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.
