Nonfiction

[close] This a group for YA book lovers to discuss the following genres: Mystery, Sci-fi, Historical Fiction, Non-Romance Realistic Fiction, and Nonfiction! Unlike fantasy, romance, and dystopian, these genres aren't as popular for teens! We'll have challenges and 1-3 BOTMs every month! You can sign up for buddy-reads! We'll also have fun games and recommend books!

[close] This book club will engage participants on a variety of culturally relevant topics that have included (but are not limited to): ethnicity/race, country, agism, classism, gender stereotypes, ability and disability, sexual orientation and preference, mental health, religion and spiritual beliefs and practices, and current cultural issues.

[close] We are Jewish/non-Jewish ladies formed 14 years ago in the Jewish community of Myrtle Beach. We are a private group. You can only join with the permission of the moderator. We read all types of Genres. This is a meeting hub where you can come to find our books, background information about the author, and book, and polling.

[close] Welcome to the Roundtable Our passions include literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. In 2020 we've planned projects to pick our favourite historical fiction book, to read all those large tomes we've been putting off, to choose subjects for our non-fiction reads and expand our horizons with novels in translation. Perhaps you'd like to join in our Historical Fiction Tournament? Or you can sign on for our yearly TBR reading challenge, and the year-long International Challenge, or the 100 Best Books in Translation project. We also invite you to our list [of books, of course] making frenzy, or to add a discussion thread for your favorite author. The fine print: We're a smallish group, but active, and we'd like to have actively participating members. If you've been a member for more than four months without participating, we will assume that you are not interested in the group and you will be subject to deletion (one post after acceptance into the group is not considered active). This may take the form of participation in one of the structured features described above or something more free-form. While we've all got our guilty pleasures -- vampires in love, celebrity gossip, books from our childhoods -- these books don't fit with the group's vision and purpose. It's strictly "quality" writing for an adult audience; for us this means literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. We like to see a diversity of opinions about what we read and a strong passion for books is a plus. However, we ask that our group members keep it about the books; be respectful of others and refrain from the ad hominem. Finally, you'll see that we're a private group and you'll need to "apply" to join us. This means that we'd like a word from you about why you'd like to join and what you're hoping to get from a group. It also helps if we can see your shelves and your profile. If your profile is set to private, you will not be approved for membership in the group.
