[close] Do you love Jane Austen, her novels and adaptations of her works? This group is for you. It's built around the Jane Austen Yearly Challenge. I've designed the challenge in 2015 and co-hosted it in NBRC group ever since . I believe it's time to make it available for readers and movie lovers outside that group. If a year-long reading and watching challenge based on Jane Austen and regency era sounds appealing to you, join in. :)

[close] We read Science Fiction from all ages, rotating group reads from Proto SF to the latest, & all authors from Abbott to Zelazny.

[close] We strongly believe that life means happiness and happiness means books. And what's more, we have room for everyone here! Slow reader, quick reader, young reader or old, you are more than welcome:) Join us if you love a good book, love to step out of your comfort zone once in a while, love reading challenges, reading with buddies, putting your points forward and random chat discussions!
