Cookbooks

[close] Love animals? This is the place for you! We read and discuss animal-themed books, talk to authors and experts, hold giveaways! In ALDF's Animal Book Club you get the scoop on the latest books, revisit classics, and join in the conversation! Discussion is encouraged! Everyone can comment, ask our experts questions, and participate in contests. Please add books, suggest books, add threads and participate as much as you can! Read the original reviews and interviews at: http://aldf.org/bookclub hosted by Dr. Jennifer Molidor Books will be chosen that speak to issues the Animal Legal Defense Fund faces in its fight to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals.

[close] A place to share your favorite cookbooks, reviews, recipes and more! A Simple Whimsy is my lifestyle blog devoted to living simple and adding whimsy into your life. Part of my passion is finding new recipes and cookbooks so I created this cookbook group to share favorites of my own and hear what you guys recommend. You will find my favorite recipes from the books I am cooking through and reviews and more! Although, I like to find and try recipes of a more simple variety, some of the more whimsical recipes might be a bit complicated. You will find a good mix of both!

[close] In this group, giveaways will take place. Author or publishers can list their giveaways for any particular country or mention country names where they wish to send their books in a Giveaway post. Readers can also list giveaways after completing the book they bought or won in giveaways. The main purpose of our giveaways will be to get reviews. Yes, we shall giveaway books to only those readers (members of our group) who will definitely write a review on at least one renowned platform. It doesn't matter whether that review should be positive or negative, we should strive for an honest review. The need for this group has arisen after Goodreads changed it's giveaway policy. Their policy doesn't support indie authors and small publishing companies. This policy is also adversely affecting the members of Good reads, as they aren't getting books from giveaways. We must unite together and create this group for our benefits. Nobody will be exploited here.

[close] Epigram Books is a Singapore-based independent publisher of well-designed and thought-provoking titles. The company currently publishes between 50 and 60 titles a year, across all manner of fiction—novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels, chapter books, picture books and some poetry. The company is best known for publishing the multi-award winning graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, the middle grade series The Diary of Amos Lee which has sold over 240,000 copies worldwide, the Sherlock Sam which has also been republished in the US, and the Harry picture book series. Other landmark publications include translations of Cultural Medallion winners and new editions of out-of-print classic Singaporean novels, as well as Ministry of Moral Panic, a debut short story collection by Amanda Lee Koe which unanimously won the Singapore Literature Prize for English Fiction in 2014. Epigram Books also reflects Singapore’s obsession with food by publishing both recipe books and food guides. The imprint Wee Editions was launched to support local designers, photographers and artists through a unique series of compact coffee table books. The company also made headlines in 2015 for initiating the Epigram Books Fiction Prize, Singapore’s richest literary award, in the hopes of uncovering the next great Singaporean novel.
