50 Book Challenge! 4691 books / 4691 members / 31152 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.)

The books we loved in 2008 can be found by following the Amazon link below

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.

Where's my Vampire? 56 books / 123 members / 86 posts Hey fellow paranormal readers! I love anything that has a hunky vampire, sorcerers, or a occasional shape shifter. If you love these stories, join Where's my Vampire?!!!

Anitaverse 29 books / 158 members / 103 posts Anitaverse is short for the Anita Blake Universe, a world created by author Laurell K. Hamilton where vampires, shapeshifters, and other preternaturals not only exist in the 21st century, they're legal citizens and attract all kinds of tourists to supernatural hotspot St. Louis. Love 'em or hate 'em (or once loved them, now hate them) there's no denying it's the most addictive series out there. The Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels have captivated fans of the preternatural worldwide for over a decade now and have placed Ms. Hamilton on the New York Times Bestseller Lists more than once.

Polyamory 101 books / 271 members / 113 posts Unfortunately, thanks to trollers, we've had to make this group "private", so you must be a member to see the shelf and discussion list. We regret that certain individuals have to disrupt our pleasant online experiences.

Books about polyamory, polygamy, non-monogamous relationships, open relationships, open marriage, non-traditional relationships. Books can be fictional stories that feature main characters or supporting characters in any non traditional relationship structure, or they can be non-fictional books about the subject of multiple partnerships.

We can also discuss more general relationship-building books that help us address things like jealousy and communication, which are the two biggest issues in polyamorous relationships (and all relationships, really).

If you have read any of the books we have already covered, but you joined late or it is past the due date, you can still add to the discussion! Let us know your thoughts on any of the threads, the discussions remain open!

This group is for discussing poly-themed literature only. It is not a pick-up site. Please do not make any posts requesting personal information or contact information from our members or asking to be their newest partner. This is not appropriate. Anyone making these kinds of posts will receive only 1 warning. A second infraction will result in removal from the group. If two people happen to develop a mutual desire to take their correspondence away from the group, that's fine, but the purpose of this group is *not* to hit on its members and unsolicited or non-mutual come-ons are offensive. Not everyone here is poly or actively looking for more partners.

There are plenty of matchmaking sites out there. We recommend www.polymatchmaker.com and www.okcupid.com if you want to meet other polyamorists. You do not have to be polyamorous to participate in the group. We are here to discuss books.

If you need more information about what polyamory is, please visit:

You can also purchase poly-themed apparel at http://www.polytees.com

Friendship for Universal Peace 1345 books / 3191 members / 26244 posts There are many languages - The Best language is the Language of the Heart.
There are many relationships in the World - The Best relationship is Friendship.
We welcome you to join this group and share your knowledge, learning, Worldly Wisdom, Love and Friendship for "Universal Peace."

BabeCake Reading 748 books / 185 members / 1849 posts BabeCake Reading is a general reading group that was originally intended as an adjunct to the Yahoo general reading group Babecakes. We’re here to discuss any book or reading material. All Book-a-holics are welcome. If you are not a member of the Yahoo Babecakes group, please feel free to apply for membership at groups.yahoo.com/group/Babecakes and PLEASE mention your age. Unlike this Shelfari group, the Yahoo group does have a minimum age requirement (although very little to no “adult” type of discussion actually happens).

You do not have to be a member of the Yahoo group to be a member of the Shelfari group and vice versa. To date, the Yahoo group seems to be the more verbose of the two groups but the Shelfari group has the advantage of the wonderful shelves.

Feel free to add to the shelves especially if you are discussing a particular book. It makes it SO much easier for interested members to get more information on the book that you mention.

Also feel free to open up a discussion whenever you wish to. If it is Off Topic (not about reading or writing) please put “OT” in your discussion topic title. Administrators, though, do reserve the right to erase topics that are a bit too much off of the topic or are offensive to most other members in our group.

BTW: Opening up a discussion on both the Babecakes and the BabeCake Reading groups will not be considered cross-posting and are welcome. In fact, for those of you who are on both groups, please feel free to cut and paste discussions (but not the responses please) from one group to the other. We administrators don’t always remember to do this and need the help.

From older classics (if someone so chooses) to series and novels, anything! We welcome anyone who is willing to dedicate a little of their time to reading the book of a club member's choice (When it is their turn). We will try to get in 1 book every month, taking turns with members to pick a book they want to read. We may modify or detail the selection methods later, through discussion with all members. We will be holding Welcome Time (A 1 to 2 week period where we wait and see who joins, then after that time, we will discuss rules, times, and book selection for the upcoming month!), so try to catch us soon!
