Book Chat 1103 books / 1425 members / 9379 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

50 Book Challenge! 4844 books / 4760 members / 32105 posts Welcome to the 50-Book Challenge!
We are not listless. In fact, we love lists ...

Many of our lists can be found by using the link below:

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.

Thanks for being here and have fun. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to contact me.

New Releases 184 books / 354 members / 641 posts This group is for anyone who loves to scour the New Release section of bookstores and libraries. I bring home some wonderful books and some real duds. I would like this to be a place to discuss all the new stuff : what you think looks good, what you've read, what you've liked or disliked. New Releases would be hardback, softback and paperback books released within the last year.

If you are an author of a mystery, suspense/thriller book and would like to lead a group discussion in a group read of your book, please send a private message to the owner of the group.

BabeCake Reading 765 books / 191 members / 1942 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.

Houston Book Lovers 38 books / 41 members / 60 posts Just a group for fellow Houston book lovers to talk about books and etc. All are welcome!

Kristin's 2008 A-Z New Author Challenge 82 books / 1 members / 25 posts This is a private group set up to keep track of authors read during 2008. Each author must be a new author that never read before beginning with a different letter of the alphabet.

Across The Pond 357 books / 284 members / 2442 posts The United Kingdom of Great Britain (Wales, England, Scotland) and Northern Ireland.

Welcome to Across The Pond!

Do you ever find yourself suddenly walking silly walks or humming a certain Lumberjack tune? Do you scurry to the kitchen at noon for ladyfingers and herbal tea? Do you read literature from or about Tudor or Regency periods? Are you constantly flipping to BBC America to check for new episodes of Dr. Who, Robin Hood, or MI-5? Did you love Braveheart, Pride and Prejudice, or the Harry Potter movies? Do you ever suddenly find yourself speaking in a British accent using the words "bloke" or "codswallop" from time to time? Or maybe you just feel you were born in the wrong country? This group was made for anyone who feels a special connection to the geography, history, culture, and traditions of the U.K. Discussions are open to everyone and can be about anything from English literature, your favourite Beatle, or how you spent your summer vacation touring famous castles. Whether the discussions are serious and thoughful or silly and playful, have fun! *For any Shelfarian who has stumbled upon this group out of curiosity, please feel free to join us (especially you Brit's!)!*

100+ Book Challenge 1662 books / 1139 members / 12899 posts Up for a serious challenge? Then come join us! Our goal is to read 100 or more books in one year.

Just start a new discussion post, WITH YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ORIGINAL POST, and log your books.

You can start any time. Our goal really is to read 100 or more books in one year. If you haven't been keeping track of the books you've read, start when you join.

Better than Starbucks… if you like good coffee, great books, sharp wit, and people who read 1695 books / 2018 members / 29787 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....

Welcome!

Book Raiders!!! 51 books / 2 members / 372 posts The group for Team #9 members to discuss reading plans for the Play Book Tag Challenge, Lay It On.

A few tags are excluded
The only tags that cannot be used as your team tag are: 1001 books to read before you die and the classics, classic, classic literature tags as they are covered elsewhere; and the tag of the month- there will be a separate bonus for that tag.

Read other teams' tags to rack up extra points
As an added bonus if you read a book that fits another team's tag we will also give you a 2 points for each tag. So if you read 4 other teams' tags you will get 4x2 = 8 bonus points. This assumes that each team picks a unique tag. If that doesn't occur, the potential for extra points declines to the number of unique tags x 2 pts.

Monthly tag bonus
If every member of your team reads one book for the monthly tag, there will be a 30 pt bonus for that team.

Prestigious awards that count for 9pts include:

Booker Prize
Caldecott Medal
