Fiction

[close] Fiction Fanatics is a book club for those of us who love reading fiction books! We do book of the month each month with discussions, monthly and yearly challenges, buddy reads as well as just being a friendly place to have a chat about books and whatever else we feel like. Rules 1. Respect other's opinions. 2. Participate! 3. This group is NOT for author self promotion. 4. HAVE FUN!!

[close] (click on image to go to discussion) We believe reading is fun and find unique and challenging ways to spread the love of reading. The aim of our book club is to entice you, grab your imagination, and create an environment where people can discuss their thoughts on books in a warm, friendly, and inviting atmosphere thereby making everyone's reading experience more fun. Although reading is seen as an individual activity, you may be surprised to learn that reading challenges, "book of the month" discussions, reading games and competitions all help to enrich our love of books, read more, and find great book recommendations.

[close] Welcome! We are a challenge group. We offer new challenges monthly, readathons, buddy reads, BOTM, SOTM, and a badge system we call Buttons!

"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.
