Groups Discussing Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson, Gabrielle...

What are you reading? 3593 books / 9002 members / 28621 posts This group is for anyone, of any background or age group, who is interested in talking about...Books. Books you want to read, have read, are reading; books you have heard of and not yet read; books of any genre. You are welcome to ask for recommendations or opinions.

If you are plugging your new book, blog, group, etc., please only do this in the Shameless Self Promotion thread. If these are posted anywhere else, they will be deleted.

Good Reads 29 books / 527 members / 2136 posts The motto for this group is "Anything goes." Any genre and every genre.

How it's going to work is that each month a different member will select 4 or 5 books that he would like to read. He will then post a new thread with the titles in it. At that point the rest of us can respond with our vote. By the end of the voting period (the 15th of the month), the book with the most votes will win. In case of a tie, both books will be selected and if members want to read both books, they may, or if you want to choose which one you read, that is fine as well.

In order to be selected to nominate books you have to have participated in the book voting or discussion one or two months prior. Participation means discussing or voting. The person who nominates books is selected one month in advance so that the date of voting can begin early.

All genres will be accepted as appropriate for this group. It can be anything from a best seller, horror, drama, real life, non-fiction, humor, YA, children's, science fiction, classic, you name it, we can read it. Don't feel like you have to read every book we choose. If you don't like our selection, feel free to sit this one out. Or, if you want to sit out a few months for various other reasons, not a problem.

This is YOUR book group. Everyone has a say so in what they want to read by picking out a few titles themselves. At the same time, you also get a little bit of choice and opinion in the voting each cycle.

If you want to receive group notifications about voting and winning titles, make sure to sign your name on the thread about wanting to receive notifications.

WRC Book Club 3 books / 2 members / 1 posts WRC Book Club is a summer reading club that may meet sporadically throughout the year. We meet monthly at WRC Pool. We take turns choosing books, and read mostly fiction.

Women Speak 664 books / 1583 members / 17606 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).

There will be complementary discussions. We will keep these limited in order not to dilute the focus of the group and so we don't make it difficult to find our threads. We highly recommend that you bookmark your thread so it's easy to access throughout the year.

To keep this manageable, the forum is private. If you're a current member of Women Speak, and would like to participate, send us a note.
