Literature

[close] Discover and share your discovery of the most recently published literary fiction. If you love reading novels before anyone else decides they are good or bad; if you love ARCs; if you love hearing about the latest-published novels by authors you know, and by authors you never heard of, then you'll probably like it here. Our definition of "literary fiction" is broad.

[close] We will be reading literary books by women from all over the world, whether originally written in English, or translated from another language. Join us to discover, and discuss the work of, many wonderful female authors. Everyone is welcome! We also have a Reading Challenge, the idea of which is to read one book from every country in the world over an extended period of time. The books can be either set in the country, or by an author born in that country. All of the authors must be female, or identify as female. You can, of course, choose to read any genre, fiction and non-fiction. There is no challenge deadline; simply read at your own pace. Books can be read in any order, and at any time.

[close] For those attempting the crazy feat of reading all 1001 books!
