History Non-Fiction 617 books / 798 members / 472 posts Anyone who loves History. We can discuss the truth or otherwise of our past, and what proof there is to prove that history actually happened the way they say it did.
Biographies, Autobiographies, & Memoir 1141 books / 738 members / 3068 posts So many life stories, so little time. This is a group to discuss the many types of biographies, autobiographies and memoirs. If it's a true life story, it belongs in this group. We discuss everything from historical, entertainment, and sports figures, to the common ordinary man.

Please feel free to post any nonfiction life stories to our group shelf. Feel free to start any discussions, but please keep book discussions centered around nonfiction life stories and memoirs.

What is the name of that Book??? 170 books / 388 members / 999 posts It can be frustrating to try to recall a book when you no longer remember the author or the title, only snippets of detail. Here is a place to tell what you do remember and maybe someone else can identify the book for you.
Audible Books to recommend 542 books / 273 members / 1195 posts I thought it would be nice to have a list of books that people have read that are on audible (downloads from Audible.com & library CDs are my choices). I've created quite a wish list, making sure that it is listing books that can be listened to -- otherwise, no point in thinking about it. We are so lucky to have such an incredible selection of books to listen to now -- it's a whole new world and just in 5 years! I used to read 3 books a year if I was lucky -- now it's more like 30 books now that I can listen -- I love it!!

When members write down the books they have read -- give at lease a two word critique, even if as simple as the star system -- it's more helpful to see that than the list of books one plans to read. Also, mentioning the book name in Comments allows the reader to see what you are referring to when reading from iPhone!

50 Book Challenge! 4687 books / 4689 members / 31134 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

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.

Yorba Linda Moms' Book Club 51 books / 7 members / 0 posts This is a club founded by a few moms about 9 years ago in Yorba Linda, California. It is a book club for social moms. We usually pick the book to read and then spend about 15 minutes discussing it and the other 2 hours drinking wine and enjoying the company. We used to pick a book per month but as our schedules have gotten more busy we now pick and read one book every 6 to 8 weeks. We decided to make this club work, we needed to be flexible. We have never been good at writing down what books we read, but we brainstormed at our last meeting and came up with a list of as many books as we could remember. I have included them her on our shelf. The current book we are reading will be listed as well.
