Fantasy and Sci-fi Fanatics 1696 books / 2047 members / 2550 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.
Fairyland Fantasy Book Group 98 books / 63 members / 25 posts Did you read “The Lord of the Rings” BEFORE the movie came out?
Did you wait at the book store until midnight for the release of Harry Potter?
Are you counting down the days until Enders Game makes it to the big screen?
Have you ever imagined a whole different world?
Do you secretly believe in magic?

If you answered yes to any of these questions than you should join this group. We will focus on the fiction genres that are fantasy, science fiction and alternate reality books. What are your all time classic favorites and what new authors or books have you discovered? What authors have truly captured your imagination? Who will be the next Tolkien or J K Rowling? What makes a fantasy book believable? Join us as we look at these questions and continue to read great books.

***Discussion Rule. All notes and posts should stay clean and free from all dirty language or inappropriate subject matter. This group is made up of individuals with intelligence and imagination that don’t need degrading content to express themselves.

Strong Female Characters in Fantasy 197 books / 105 members / 148 posts Enjoy reading books about strong female characters in the fantasy genre? Whether the books are set in different worlds, historical fiction, or urban fantasy, these female characters usually have unusual powers, can handle a fight with a guy, and have a bit of romance brewing too. Usually, these fantasies have major plot twists to keep you guessing, and the love interests seem evil/mean at first glance. Not all of these have happy endings, but the woman prevails.
Fantasy 71 books / 47 members / 41 posts Fantasy for all age group
Paranormal Mystery 641 books / 513 members / 4763 posts This is a group for people who enjoy the sub-/cross-genre of paranormal mystery.
This is not to be confused with either paranormal romance or urban fantasy.
It can, though, overlap with several other sub-genres.

Please feel free to add to the group shelves at any time as long as the books added can be considered a paranormal mystery.

Also please feel free to post about books outside of this genre but carefully title the subject as "OT" (Off Topic).

P.S. Authors of books that fit this category are welcome to introduce their books here.
