Groups with The Exception: A Novel by Christian Jungersen

Brilliant Babes (And Dudes) Who Read Selectively 668 books / 174 members / 10378 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!

Shelfari Book Club Discusses: __________ 10 books / 8 members / 267 posts The goal is to have 5-15 members at anytime (we can increase if we need to) but what I'm hoping is to have one book per month that we read and have a real in depth discussion about the book. We all write our "opinion" about a book on Shelfari, but let's take it one step farther and have a discussion! I have a small book club that I attend where I live, and I'm just trying to duplicate here on Shelfari. The way I'm thinking about this is that one person picks the book, and then the next person chooses the next book and so on. The goal is that everyone gets to choose a book, and there will be a good discussion to follow. I'm going to send out a few invites, and then you let me know who you think would be good at adding their opinions to the group's discussion. As members join, they would be inline for choosing the next book to read. To start things going, I'm choosing, “Call Me by Your Name by Andre Aciman. Discussion will be one month from now, mid - August. This group will be private so the group can stay small. I'm looking for some good discussion, and hope you join!
