JKR, your feelings and your thoughts! Come and share it with all of us!
Thank you all for joining and particpating in our discussions, we know we couldn't have done it without our members!
FYI: every once in a while, you'll notice discussions disappear... That's because either the thread has already been opened, or because nobody has answered it, or because there is no real discussion there, and you just feel like 'opening a subject' for the fun of it. You can always mail admins with questions on anything related to the group, the discussions, the members, or to report something out of the ordinary! Can I also ask you to NOT add books that have no relation to Harry Potter, his world or JKR? Thank you!
ENJOY !

Book Chat 1083 books / 1436 members / 8070 posts Welcome to Book Chat!

Instead of being about a particular book, author or genre this group is about books and reading in general. Discussions have covered a wide variety of topics, from bookmarks, to book type preference (paperback, hardcover or trade paperback) to book-to-movie tie-ins, to where and when you read and even what started you reading.

We also have some fun new projects starting and we hope you will join us.

Tenia has started a Secret Reader (aka Secret Santa) where we will exchange gently used books.

Tenia has also started a monthly book read. Our first group read will start in January and we are currently taking votes on several books that were nominated for the fiction genre.

We are also currently taking nominations for books for February and March. Our February read will be horror and our March read will be chick lit.

A discussion book raffle of sorts will be starting very soon so be sure to check back for details.

Feel free to pop-in and have a look around. We would love to have you join us for some discussion and fun.

Your admins...Kelly and Tenia
Brilliant Babes (And Dudes) Who Read Selectively 668 books / 174 members / 10377 posts October Spooky Duel Book Group Read: Dracula...Bram Stoker and Interview With the Vampire...Anne Rice

There are people who will read any book that comes out, and there are people who won't read anything that is less than 200 years old. The Brilliant Babes (and Dudes) are in-between--we often turn up our noses at certain writers, but we have a keen appreciation for high-quality brain candy as well! We are a friendly group mixed with a bit of sharp sarcasm, a sprinkling of green Enabler Dust and a TBR pile a mile high.

If you are slightly toward the snobbish side of the book-lover's spectrum--if you love your Dickens but also love your Nora--then you've come to the right place! Our group is invite-only to preserve the correct mix of people, but if you want to join, drop Suze, Rob or Dragonfly a note and we will review your shelf. If you get a friend invite, accept it and we will invite you to join us! (Please note that none of the admins spends all day, every day online. It may be a few days before we can get back to you. Suze and Dragonfly especially go MIA for various reasons, so please be patient and it will be rewarded!) Also, please do NOT ask for an invitation if you don't plan on regularly posting. It does take us time to review new members, and we love new members who participate, but the posts are visible to all Shelfari members who just want to lurk. :)

BBD Blog: http://brilliantbabes.blogspot.com -- chock full of BBD goodness!

Note for all members: In the past, we have had people confuse "slightly snobby" with "raging literary a-holes." Although we do appreciate a good crack on a bad author, please refrain from knowingly insulting your fellow BBDs. We love Shakespeare, but we hate drama!

Harry Potter Fans United 13 books / 226 members / 186 posts Hello! Our old description was a little outdated--Here we are with a new and improved one.

This group's purpose is to discuss Harry Potter--the books, movies, characters, twists, plots, connections, ideas... Anything to do with the great series written by J K Rowling.

Please be warned that although we try our best to post Spoiler Warnings for those who have not yet read the Final Novel, it may be hard to do that forever. The best thing to do is ignore this Group until you complete it. In my opinion, that is. Okay?

My name is Katherine, by the way, and I have been a Potter Fan for quite some time. Some have even gone on to call me obsessed. I will try to guide all of you through major discussion points and news. However, if I have left anything out, be sure to let me know or post your own topic.

Hope all of you enjoy this Group! I have had fun with it from the very beginning, and I sure hope that you do too!

Any questions/ concerns/ thoughts/ rants/ compliments/ et cetera? Just leave me a note, using the handy dandy box that is probably just below this, at the right.
50 Book Challenge! 4683 books / 4691 members / 31105 posts Welcome to the 50-Book Challenge! We are not listless. In fact, we love lists ...

A list of the books we've been looking forward to, for example, can be found by following this link:

http://astore.amazon.com/allencotrip-20

Our challenge is to read 50 books in one year. OR ... establish a goal for yourself more or less, it's up to you, just because we say 50 books doesn't mean that has to be your goal too.

To join, all you need to do is start a thread, WITH YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ORIGINAL POST, and log your books (with title and author, please.) Reviews are always welcome as well. It is a very good idea to bookmark your post (when in your post, add it to your internet browser's favorites)for quick access for future updates. Things move quickly around here.

If you haven't been keeping track of the books you've read, start when you join.

I enjoy reading your lists, and my TBR pile has grown as a result and I've read books I wouldn't have otherwise (The Hunger Games, I'm talking to you ...)

It doesn't have to be all lists all the time, though ... People enjoy it when you comment on their lists as well, so when you update your list ... take a minute and browse around. You never know what you might find. (Water For Elephants, I'm talking to you.)


The books we loved in 2008 can be found by following the Amazon link below

The books we loved in 2007 can be found by following the link below

I survey the group each year starting in mid-December, until about mid-January then compile the lists and post the results. I look forward to this year's lists, now that the Twilight fervor has died down.

Thanks for being here and have fun. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to contact me.
NNBR - Not Necessarily Book Related 103 books / 563 members / 14471 posts Oh, come on! we need a place to just chat here, whether or not it's about books.

Religion, politics, recipes, games, restaurant reviews, dinner ideas, WWYD questions, tech recommendations, and whatever else you can think of or want to discuss.

Bitching and moaning are allowed. Bullying, trolling and scams are not.. This forum is not an appropriate place for authors to promote their books (but we'd LOVE to chat with you!) The management thanks you in advance for your cooperation.

A Note about Deleting Posts:
I don't generally delete threads, mostly because I'm pretty much against censorship (unless it becomes a mean, knock down drag out, name calling fight) but also because I believe that it is important to know where the idiots are, so to speak. If I deleted every obnoxious post, new folks would join the group and have no idea that that Person X had a habit of spouting all this nonsense. I think that if you're going to act like an idiot, your stuff should be left up so that everyone can see you for what you are. Forewarned is forearmed, IMO.

"In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.", Mortimer Adler

*This is a group for book lovers who prefer to take an under-promise and over-deliver approach to their reading. It's also for those of us who quake at the thought of "committing" to read 50 books in a twelve month period.

The challenge: Set a goal for yourself to read and enjoy 2 books each month.(If 1 would be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h goal for you, that's great too! If you crave more than 2, go for it. It's your challenge :-)

If you have been keeping track of all that you've read since January 2008, feel free to include those books towards your goal. If you haven't been keeping track, simply begin now.

How it works: Put your name in the subject line of a new post, and start to add your book list. From that point on you can add to your list by replying to the first post in your thread. If you prefer to keep your thread free of others' questions or comments then you may want to include this request in your original post title (e.g. "No comments please"). If you would like questions or comments within your thread, why not include "Comments welcome" in the title? If you feel inspired to write mini-reviews or comments on any book in your list, please do. Whatever feels right for you!

The group shelf:You are also invited to add your 24 + books to the group shelf. If you did write a comment or review please also add this to your book on the shelf. In an effort to keep things simple, we're only using the "Books We've Read" shelf.


Please drop us a note if you have any questions or suggestions for improving the group. We'd love to hear from you!

The members of this group have a great deal of say over what is allowed or disallowed. Every complaint will be taken seriously and will be handled strictly. That said, however, I love to joke around and am not an overly serious person by nature. Together we can work to maintain a safe, entertaining, and wholesome place to discuss our favorite books.

If you have a book that you love that you would like others to read and would like this group to collectively read and discuss, then please leave a post stating the title, author, genre, whether or not the author is Mormon, and where we may purchase the book and we will discuss whether to schedule a group discussion.

We will not discuss or entertain in any way anti-mormon literature.

Join Our Group!!
Fantasy and Sci-fi Fanatics 1693 books / 2044 members / 2537 posts I am personally addicted to fantasy and sci-fi and I created this group for people to discuss Fantasy and Sci-fi books that they have read.

I have found myself, more often than not, searching for a really good fantasy or sci-fi book, but to no avail. Starting a group not only enables me, and you, to find great books, but it also is a great way to discuss likes and dislikes about these books.


Just a warning, I will also put realistic-fiction books on the group shelf if I feel that they are as good as a fantasy or sci-fi book. MEOW!!!!!


***NOTICE***
If you are a member, or just a random person, please put any sci-fi or fantasy book that you *LOVE* on the group shelf, please!

Another thing, plez post discussions or reply to one, i'd love to hear your opinions.

Dubai Books Club 15 books / 102 members / 116 posts Just to make people aware that there ARE bookstores in Dubai, and people love to read books. Its ironic that you can find hundreds of shopping malls, yet not all of them have book shops! Moreover, you cannot find old books to buy..except some places like Karama & Satwa. Here you can share what cost you pay just to keep your reading habit alive. / keep reading.

BabeCake Reading 743 books / 185 members / 1844 posts BabeCake Reading is a general reading group that was originally intended as an adjunct to the Yahoo general reading group Babecakes. We’re here to discuss any book or reading material. All Book-a-holics are welcome. If you are not a member of the Yahoo Babecakes group, please feel free to apply for membership at groups.yahoo.com/group/Babecakes and PLEASE mention your age. Unlike this Shelfari group, the Yahoo group does have a minimum age requirement (although very little to no “adult” type of discussion actually happens).

You do not have to be a member of the Yahoo group to be a member of the Shelfari group and vice versa. To date, the Yahoo group seems to be the more verbose of the two groups but the Shelfari group has the advantage of the wonderful shelves.

Feel free to add to the shelves especially if you are discussing a particular book. It makes it SO much easier for interested members to get more information on the book that you mention.

Also feel free to open up a discussion whenever you wish to. If it is Off Topic (not about reading or writing) please put “OT” in your discussion topic title. Administrators, though, do reserve the right to erase topics that are a bit too much off of the topic or are offensive to most other members in our group.

BTW: Opening up a discussion on both the Babecakes and the BabeCake Reading groups will not be considered cross-posting and are welcome. In fact, for those of you who are on both groups, please feel free to cut and paste discussions (but not the responses please) from one group to the other. We administrators don’t always remember to do this and need the help.

Is it adventure you seek, then perhaps its sitting on top of Big Ben or drinking a latte in a European Cafe located on a secret alley, exploring the sites of Harry Potter on a Hogworth Express, Maybe visiting an Ancient Egyptian Ruin or sailing the coast looking for treasure of mermaids.
The odd, are you a cryptozoologist?, An Alchemist? Love Apothecary and Merlin, Were you a Vampire or Witch in another life, love The Salem Witches, Is the Gothic scene you?

Do Blyth Dolls drive you mad, love to live in your own dollhouse or gnome cottage overlooking a bed of sweet lavender or peonies! What about a pixie carnival or secret circus?

Are you an artist who loves every form and medium of art and looking to learn more and drives on inspiration from history and others, The the Faerie Zine is the place for you!
