Classics

[close] We strongly believe that life means happiness and happiness means books. And what's more, we have room for everyone here! Slow reader, quick reader, young reader or old, you are more than welcome:) Join us if you love a good book, love to step out of your comfort zone once in a while, love reading challenges, reading with buddies, putting your points forward and random chat discussions!

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] ✧⁠*⁠。"I have lived a thousand lives and I've loved a thousand loves. I've walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read." ~ George R.R Martin Books really do make dreams become as close to reality as they can get! I made this group for people like me who love medieval castles, daggers, YA, dragons, fae, decorated ballrooms, poetry, art, old maps, tragic loves letters and fantasy. Of course it isn't limit to just fantasy, so feel free to join! This is the place where dreams really do come true..✧⁠*⁠。

[close] We're a small group of ladies from far and wide that love all kinds of books. We read and discuss fantastic books relating to history from the classics to historical fiction. Our monthly book discussions include one formal read, moderator selected, and a few buddy reads, where members and moderators select a couple of books a month that they would like to read. The group has games, challenges, and giveaways as well as other topics relating to literature. Membership requires active participation. Happy Reading!
