[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] Greetings. The Short Fiction group has been defunct for a while now. If you would like to help me revive it, and have time to administer and moderate, feel free to send me a message (my profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8529914.Gaines_Post). In the meantime, I run an active discussion forum here -- https://discord.gg/vXKD32pdSA -- and would be more than happy to create a Short Fiction thread/channel in it. We were (and will be again, in case someone wants to take over moderating and administration duties) a cross-genre group of readers who enjoy short fiction. This generally refers to short stories, novellas, flash fiction, and various other brief forms of prose. Discussions were loosely organized by genre, with a tip of the hat to the fact that many stories aren't so easily categorized. I wish I could tell you to come join us here, but as I said, the group is inactive. Click the link above if you would like to discuss your favourite short fiction, and get to know like-minded (as well as not-so-like-minded) readers! All are welcome :-)

[close] This group is a book club to compliment the blog I maintain at http://indiebookblogger.blogspot.com We will focus on group reads of indie/small pub authors and there are several threads welcoming self promotion.
