Nonfiction

[close] For our community of Bookworms to make recommendations and suggestions, provide news on new releases and direct us to forgotten gold. Whatever genre, this group is all about sharing a love of reading and helping each other find new delights. Join the Club, and get involved.

[close] Welcome to the Roundtable Our passions include literary fiction, the classics, and serious non-fiction. In 2021 we've planned projects to expand out Canadian Literature horizons, read a couple of those Big Books we never have time for, and maybe fit a classic read in there too. Perhaps you'd like to join in our Book Tournament later this year? Or you can sign on for our yearly TBR reading challenge, and the year-long International Challenge, or the 4 month long task based Book Challenge. 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.

[close] Have you read the book, seen the movie, neither – but you are eager to read and see both? Then this is absolutely perfect group for you! We like to see this club as a nice and friendly place where members read and watch and discuss their favorite and/or wish-to-read-and-see books and movies. Of course, everybody is welcome!

[close] This group is dedicated to connecting readers with Goodreads authors. It is divided by genres, and includes folders for writing resources, book websites, videos/trailers, and blogs.
