Book Chat 819 books / 1816 members / 5943 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

Diversity Works 513 books / 777 members / 7989 posts "This was one of the tasks we set forth at the beginning of this campaign - to continue the long march of those who came before us, a march for a more just, more equal, more free, more caring and more prosperous America. I chose to run for the presidency at this moment in history because I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together - unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction - towards a better future for of children and our grandchildren." Barack Hussein Obama 44th President of the U.S.A.!! Diversity Works is a where we acknowledge our differences, celebrate our commonalities, and make an honest effort to navigate between the two. We hope the setting here feels safe enough for you to examine, consider, and challenge ideas and thoughts expressed here. It's not about being right, but being heard. Tell us what you think.

Islamic Fiction 25 books / 74 members / 38 posts Captivating tales have been part of the culture of the Muslim world for centuries. Until recently, though, all the stories were told in Arabic, Persian and other Asian languages. As the number of American Muslims grows, by both birth and conversion, there is a hunger for a new type of fiction. English language Islamic fiction tells the stories of Muslims and their non-Muslim friends and neighbors here in the U.S. No magic lamps or flying carpets. English language Islamic fiction is about the real lives of real people.
