"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!

Contemporary Fantasy 175 books / 114 members / 79 posts Contemporary fantasy is a sub-genre of fantasy which takes place in the current day. This also includes urban fantasy which usually involves the story taking place in a city. This group is for anyone who is interested in these sorts of books (obviously). For example: Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore, etc.

Paranormal Mystery 391 books / 297 members / 2282 posts This is a group for people who enjoy the sub-/cross-genre of paranormal mystery.
This is not to be confused with either paranormal romance or urban fantasy.
It can, though, overlap with several other sub-genres.

Please feel free to add to the group shelves at any time as long as the books added can be considered a paranormal mystery.

Also please feel free to post about books outside of this genre but carefully title the subject as "OT" (Off Topic).

P.S. Authors of books that fit this category are welcome to introduce their books here.

The May group reading is now being discussed. Please come and join us :)
