Audible Books to recommend 545 books / 274 members / 1204 posts I thought it would be nice to have a list of books that people have read that are on audible (downloads from Audible.com & library CDs are my choices). I've created quite a wish list, making sure that it is listing books that can be listened to -- otherwise, no point in thinking about it. We are so lucky to have such an incredible selection of books to listen to now -- it's a whole new world and just in 5 years! I used to read 3 books a year if I was lucky -- now it's more like 30 books now that I can listen -- I love it!!

When members write down the books they have read -- give at lease a two word critique, even if as simple as the star system -- it's more helpful to see that than the list of books one plans to read. Also, mentioning the book name in Comments allows the reader to see what you are referring to when reading from iPhone!

Dystopia 44 books / 201 members / 72 posts This group is for people whom enjoy dystopian/utopian society books and would like to find other like-minded people.

Apocalypse Lovers 190 books / 421 members / 805 posts O.K. I admit it, I love post-apocalyptic novels. Anything where society has been forever altered whether it is plague, nuclear weapons, aliens, meteors or Good vs. Evil doesn't matter, I just love a good tale where everything has been re-imagined. Come join me and discuss your favorite and not-so-favorite apocalypse novels

Zombie Threat 101 34 books / 103 members / 46 posts This is a group dedicated not only to discussing and celebrating existing zombie literature and lore, but also to debating about our varied survival plans and preparedness for possible outbreaks of "living dead-type" diseases.

Thanks for joining the fight!

50 Book Challenge! 4700 books / 4692 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.

Post Apocalyptic Novels 20 books / 22 members / 7 posts This is the group for everyone interested in what comes at the end of the world.

Students Against Zombies 2 books / 8 members / 67 posts This group is tailored to those who abhor zombies. If the thought of reanimated tissue alarms you, this is the group for you.

This group is much cooler than the other group you may be a part of. We don't have any rules restricting grammar or the content of a "post." Whatever you want to say is fine.

Goal: to have more posts than the AP Literature discussion board.

Pop-Culture Junkies 519 books / 183 members / 823 posts Pop-culture junkie bibliophiles of the world unite. This group is for those of us who are proud to let the fangirl/fanboy flag fly and happily admit to our pop-culture junkie status. If you own enough movies to open up your own rental store, have more books than you do shelves, have ventured into a comic store more than once in your life, find yourself quoting a book, movie, or television show at least once daily, and thank the tv gods that DVR/Tivo was ever invented...then this is the group for you. We'll discuss the latest in pop culture media and have a good time. The group promises to be a chock full of hoot and a lil bit of nany. Possibly even legend...wait for it...ary.

Movie Lovers 374 books / 1726 members / 9435 posts Welcome to Movie Lovers.

This is the place to come to discuss all genres of movies, old or new, viewed on the big screen or the little one, and not necessarily book-related...

Many book-lovers also share a passion for movies, as they also tell a "story" of one kind or another, and many movies are based on our favorite books.

All movie-lovers welcome to join discussions, or create your own.
Feel free to resurrect old (or ancient) discussions if you have something to add!

HAVE A HAPPY DAY :)

Anti Zombie League 2 books / 13 members / 7 posts We try to educate the world about the danger zombies are to everybody and how to avoid potentialy dangerous situations as well as how to deal with zombie encounters.

Jerusalem's Undead Fans 32 books / 62 members / 44 posts FIELD OF BLOOD, first in the Jerusalem's Undead Trilogy, is in stores, and the second book, HAUNT OF JACKALS will be out in the summer of '09. Eric is already at work on book three, VALLEY OF BONES.

There's already controversy about a novel involving vampires, Jewish legend, and biblical accounts. What do you think? Should suspense and horror mix with spiritual concerns? Is it okay to just have an entertaining story, for heaven's sake? Whether foe or fan, chime in here!

Whether they're slow and dumb, fast and smart or anything in between. This group is for all things undead.

Random bits of humor + 39 books / 3 members / 5 posts From Christopher Moore to William S. Burroughs and Chuck Klosterman to Chelsea Handler. All mixed in with a little (uber tiny) bit of Teen Fiction to keep us young at heart; but that doesn't include Twilight.

Reader's Rapture 56 books / 11 members / 184 posts This is a book club, and hopefully others will join and make it an AWESOME book club! Haha! We will read everything! 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!
