[close] Real Bitches Read Books! ;) This is a group for women only. Not trying to be a Bitch, but well... LOL! If you love to read, share book suggestions, do reading challenges & discuss some fun topics, This is the group for you. There is something for everyone! We currently feature 3 books a month. All books except Bitcherator's Bonus are voted on as a group. We offer a lot of variety. You choose what you want to participate in. Participation is optional but strongly encouraged. Please see our Guidelines thread in the discussions. Happy Reading Bitches ;) NOTE: This group reads a WIDE variety of books. While the name is Bookworm Bitches, we are not a feminist group nor do we read female authors exclusively. We do not adhere to one theme or another. Variety is the spice of life, as they say.

[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] Hallo, en welkom bij deze klassiekersleesclub! Na een geslaagde Anna Karenina buddyread kregen we het idee om samen vaker klassiekers te lezen. Dat motiveert ons om ze ook daadwerkelijk op te pakken, en ook om er wat dieper in te duiken door middel van analyses en boekenclubvragen. Onze clubnaam is gebaseerd op het werkwoord 'klassineren', dat betekent: praten, analyseren. Vonden we wel toepasselijk! Alles is lekker vrijblijvend, haak aan bij waar je zin in hebt! Onze regels zijn heel eenvoudig: * Plaats spoilers in een spoilertag * Respecteer elkaars mening * Heb plezier en hou het gezellig! :)
