Groups with Ruby Among Us: A Novel by Tina Ann Forkner

Writing Readers 747 books / 3969 members / 5698 posts If you're an aspiring or successful writer, this is the group for you. 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.

Christian Fiction 476 books / 648 members / 1762 posts Who are your favorite authors?

Favorite types of fiction?

What authors have a Biblically based moral theme even if it is not specifically a Christian book? I'm thinking of Tolkien, Lewis, Chesterton.

Let's talk, explore, compare and share.

What is the name of that Book??? 170 books / 388 members / 998 posts It can be frustrating to try to recall a book when you no longer remember the author or the title, only snippets of detail. Here is a place to tell what you do remember and maybe someone else can identify the book for you.

Book Chat 1083 books / 1436 members / 8074 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

Seekers 318 books / 623 members / 2060 posts This is a group for those who seek to know the truth about how to live their lives. To join together in the quest for wisdom and the "meaning of life". We will read books that will open our eyes to new ideas, and this group will be a safe place for all to share their thoughts, no matter how outlandish or unconventional they may be. The only rule is to respect the ideas of others and to acknowledge where they are in their life search, that no one is absolutely right in their views, but we are all searching and have the right to search for new thought.

Edgy Christian Fiction lovers 230 books / 501 members / 368 posts This group will specifically discuss the latest edgy Christian fiction so we might recommend books to each other and discover new authors. I'd like to focus on the gritty, real-life tragedies and events that many people experience, and also highlight books that illustrate this type of content.

Books that work well for Reading Groups/Book Clubs 72 books / 229 members / 251 posts Because I love to read, a few years ago I started a neighborhood book club. What books have worked well for your reading group? Which sparked a good discussion? (Sometimes a not-so-good book can make for dynamite interaction around the table). Which books would you recommend for a reading group--and why?

Now--I know all you authors out there will be tempted to add your books to our shelf, but our shelf is for books that have been read by and worked well for reading groups. Resist the urge for self-promotion, please, and I'll try to do the same. :-) (Disclaimer: My club has read one of my books, but that was a special occasion.) Happy reading! (And if you're not in a book club, feel free to join us anyway!)
