Books I have read so far in 2007 208 books / 19 members / 4 posts Just keeping a record of what I read x

Jesrabbit's Reading List 148 books / 1 members / 0 posts

Audiobook Listeners 106 books / 84 members / 117 posts An excellent audiobook helps pass the time (and maybe save your sanity!) during a long road trip or workout or just keep you entertained while working on a project.

Feel free to post your favorites to the Group Shelf. The criteria is simply that you feel the audio presentation enhanced your enjoyment of the book more so than if you had read it. Recommendations for children, teens and adults are welcome!

24 Book Challenge + Chat 677 books / 100 members / 2382 posts The 24 Book Challenge group is currently at full capacity; thank you for your interest.

"In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.", Mortimer Adler

*This is a group for book lovers who prefer to take an under-promise and over-deliver approach to their reading. It's also for those of us who quake at the thought of "committing" to read 50 books in a twelve month period.

The challenge: Set a goal for yourself to read and enjoy 2 books each month.(If 1 would be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h goal for you, that's great too! If you crave more than 2, go for it. It's your challenge :-)

If you have been keeping track of all that you've read since January 2008, feel free to include those books towards your goal. If you haven't been keeping track, simply begin now.

How it works: Put your name in the subject line of a new post, and start to add your book list. From that point on you can add to your list by replying to the first post in your thread. If you prefer to keep your thread free of others' questions or comments then you may want to include this request in your original post title (e.g. "No comments please"). If you would like questions or comments within your thread, why not include "Comments welcome" in the title? If you feel inspired to write mini-reviews or comments on any book in your list, please do. Whatever feels right for you!

The group shelf:You are also invited to add your 24 + books to the group shelf. If you did write a comment or review please also add this to your book on the shelf. In an effort to keep things simple, we're only using the "Books We've Read" shelf.

Please drop us a note if you have any questions or suggestions for improving the group. We'd love to hear from you!

Horokiwi Books 50 books / 2 members / 0 posts Half way between Eastbourne and Seatoun is the quarry at Horokiwi. It marks the mid-point of the many journeys made for a long-standing book club.

The Shelfari Reading Room 268 books / 194 members / 333 posts This group is for people of all ages who would like to exchange their reading experiences with others. Let's talk about our favorite books, what stories mean to us and why, and anything else that helps to describe our reading experiences.

I've added the link to a good online book club, Zooba, too... make a reading list and they'll send you the books

Book Chat 828 books / 1822 members / 5997 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
