Suggest your favorite books on the craft, discuss past and present challenges, and share some nurture with a growing community of other online-savvy, "writing readers". Welcome!

Note: If you want to promote a book or writing website on which you publish, please use the "Shameless Self-Promotion" discussion thread. In order to keep this from becoming a chaotic open bazaar of single-shot marketing, we are deleting book notices, reviews, etc. from other threads and directing all authors to the "Shameless Self-Promotion" thread. Thank you for understanding.

Crazy Lady Book Club 74 books / 15 members / 6 posts We are a group of educators, always encouraging reading for our students, but finding little time to read on our own. Hence, the creation of a book club so we would force ourselves to "practice what we preach". Sometimes we eat and chat more than discuss books, but the underlying current is READING.

SHORT Stories 335 books / 503 members / 234 posts I love short stories! While a great novel can move me into different worlds, times, places, I find that I can have these same compelling and entrancing experiences with short stories. And short stories cover all the genres of literature - what a tasty buffet from which to sample!

I have found that sometimes it is difficult to discover or even find short stories however. Sometimes disdained and so often misunderstood... Rarely cataloged as such, often not shelved in their own neighborhood, what's a person to do to find them! I am generally left with that old pal serendipity to lead to me new authors.

Some of my favorite authors: Edward P. Jones, Carol Shields, Alice Munro, Charles Baxter, Dan Chaon, Antonya Nelson, Tim Gatreaux, James Lee Burke, Jhumpa Lahiri, Richard Russo, Ellen Gilchrist, Robert Boswell, Ursala Hegi, Margaret Atwood, and many others.
And as you probably already noticed, many of these names, along with a wealth of other authors, are often perceived as "novelists" and we don't ever think to see if they too, are writers of short stories! Look at the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, Orange Prize, Giller Prize, Booker Prize (and other) winners and you will notice that many of them are wonderful tellers of tales of a shorter nature:-)

So if you are a short story kindred spirit please join us and share your favorites, what makes it a favorite, and anything else you want to say about these gems.

Book Chat 1084 books / 1436 members / 8077 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!

50 Book Challenge! 4684 books / 4691 members / 31116 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.)

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!

Chassidic Masters and Rebbes 54 books / 48 members / 884 posts I am a follower of the Chassidic Masters: The Baal Shem Tov and Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. This group was started to discuss the works of these and the other Chassidic Masters.

You do not have to be a chassid to belong to this group; you don't even have to be Jewish. You only need to have a desire to learn and discuss the lives, works and legends of these amazing holy men.

I follow the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, My Rebbe is Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, and my insiration comes from the Grand Rebbe of Kaliv (pictured left).

Ground Rules:
1. No prostelitizing by other groups. This is a Jewish site dedicated to discussion of Chassidus and related writings. If you start preaching your post will be deleted without explanation.
2. No hate speech. Again, your post will be deleted without explanation.
3. Persistent violation of the rules will have you removed from the group without explanation.
Child Labour (CLa) 8 books / 3 members / 2 posts Life is good--just need a nice hammock in the backyard. Yes, great way to remember and understand child labour, through reading books and or you pick them up during travels. Should we only be concerned about the worst forms of child labour? Most forms of child labour other than the worst ones have valuable learning-by-doing elements. In other words, a child might be better-off working, than not working. Please feel free to stop by and join us or just say hello would you ADD me to your Friends list so we can share ideas relevant to the said site?

Historical Fiction 942 books / 1398 members / 3961 posts I was shocked there was no "historical fiction" group so I'm going to try this.
Your books can be from any era and style as long as they are historical fiction!
I am always on the lookout for new books so please add/suggest as many as you like!
As you can see from my shelf and the group's shelf we have a loose interpretation of what is "historical fiction" and a varied taste in books.
Questions about how to use shelfari should be adressed to that group please.
Authors are welcome to post, but please do not use this group to advertise for your book unless it caters to our interests!
Another small request from me......Please keep all discussions civil and try to respect other people's views and opinions while posting on this group.
If you decide to join...welcome!

This group is about reading good literature, especially during the summer of 2008, and sharing your thoughts about what you read.
You will read a minimum of three books this summer. Read Section I for English course readings and Section II for your choice reading. (A list of ISBNs is in the "Discussion" section of this group.)

First Friday Book Club 69 books / 7 members / 16 posts Welcome to the FFBC Shelfari Group! We meet monthly-ish at members' homes or, if all else fails, at a diner. If this is your first time here, remember to click on "Join Group" to become an official online member (See it? Right up there in the top right corner). If you have received an invitation to join our group, go to your Shelfari home page and accept the invitation by clicking on the "Accept" button.

Feel free to add books you want us to read to the Group shelf. If we all check this shelf prior to our meetings, we'll have a starting point for selecting our next book.

All FFBC members are welcome to invite their friends to this group. If they can't join us in person for our meetings, they can always join us here in cyberspace to give their opinions of our books.
Bibliophile Reading Group 48 books / 517 members / 8314 posts Do you buy more books than you could possibly read in a year? Belong to one or more book clubs? Scan the cereal box during breakfast just because you can't stop reading? Did you think Mr. Darcy was hot *before* you saw the movie version of Pride and Prejudice? Then you might be a bibliophile.

This list is for people who love to read books in all genres. Each month, we will suggest, read and discuss several books as a group! Don't worry if you're not a fast reader, like me, because participation is optional.

All book-related questions and discussions are welcome! Well, non-book-related too! After all, we're here to make friends! So, if you want to recommend a book (please, no spamming), find out if someone else recommends it or have a question about something you're reading, this is the place to be.

Welcome and Happy Reading!

Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read 1620 books / 1960 members / 28507 posts Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read
Shakespeare, Dickens, Twain, Marquez, Morrison, Joyce, Faulkner, Cather, Kingsolver and a few hundred other really delicious writers, not to impress strangers, but because they love a good read, then please join us.

We are not a private group, but the administrators will not resist the urge to delete boring and stupid comments. By the same token, personal attacks on young, slow or otherwise disadvantaged players will not be tolerated.

Generally, be nice to other members, but spare not public figures, pop lit superstars, big box stores, politicians and religious leaders. Focus more energy on what is good and even what is great, but feel free to throw a stone when the occasion calls for it.

To steal a phrase: we want to have serious intellectual discussions, but at the same time we want the heat to generate light, not fire....

What is BookMooch? from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BookMooch
BookMooch is an international, on-line book exchange community founded by John Buckman in July 2006. Membership is open to anyone and is free. BookMooch allows its users to exchange books using a points system. Members earn points by adding books to their inventories, by sending books to other members, and by providing feedback when they receive books. The points earned can then be used to “mooch” books from other members. All books “cost” the same number of points, with a multiple point surcharge for international mooches. Members may opt to send books only within their own country, worldwide, or worldwide upon request.

Broads Book Club 59 books / 10 members / 226 posts Private group for the Broads who love to read, eat, drink and discuss books.

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with.
In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.”

Women Speak 626 books / 1533 members / 17252 posts This group is for women to speak about issues concerning women.

FOR WOMEN ONLY. No men are permitted to join.
(If you are a man and you received an invitation, it was by mistake. I'm sorry, but you are not welcome here. Kindly, remove yourself or else you shall be removed.)
Because of the nature of our conversations, if you are a girl (under the age of 18), please get parental consent prior to joining.


RULES:

NO religious debates. Take that up in a forum that is designed for religious debates. Refer to only your religious beliefs in that they help form your opinion. Do not speak of the tenants of a faith that is not yours.

No personal attacks. Do not use a member's name or any pronouns referring to a member with ANY derogatory comment, such as, naive, sexist, stupid, immature, etc.. Do not use any descriptions that demean a person's character, intelligence or belief's

Do censor your own comments prior to submission to ensure that they are respectful of the other members in the group.

Do pause before submitting in a heated discussion and take a second look at what you are about to submit.

Recommendations:
Be specific and don't use generalizations. When debating, be sure to counter specific points made and address the member who made the point.

Give people the benefit of doubt. This is the Internet therefore you don't have the vantage point of reading body language.

Ask for clarification. Ask questions. We could avoid a lot of hurt feelings if we first ask if a person is saying what we think they are saying.

State your position without expectation. The goal is to be heard and share your position. We're not here to win converts.

If you do feel attacked, address the offender directly and let them know that what they said (and be specific) hurt, upset, concerned you. And communicate this without countering with an insult. It's hard to listen when you're feeling attacked.

When stating statistics provide cite (web link, article, book).

Group Read Central 23 books / 79 members / 73 posts With so many groups out there, how do you keep track of everyone's group reads? Or maybe you would like to discuss one of your favorite books but can't find a place to do it. Maybe your group has group reads but you are really not satisfied with the reader turnout. This is the group to find a group read or readers to fit your needs. It works this way. I will post the different group reads throughout the Shelfari universe. Obviously, I can't do it alone - so if I am not a member of your group and therefore don't know your group reads - post them here! We can also hold discussions as to what reads people would like to have, therefore helping your group. I'm not trying to step on any toes - I'm just trying to help get people to the books they love (or don't know they love yet). If you find that I posted your group read and you would rather I didn't, just contact me and I will remove it with my sincere apologies. So... let's find some group reads!
