Group Sections—what does it all mean?
Announcements! - This is where you can find our latest newsletter and any other group updates.
Introduce Yourself to the Group - New here? Drop a line… Introduce yourself and let us get to know you.
Mod Corner - This is where you can share your questions or ideas with us!
Group Reads - Each month, the group will nominate books according to the theme for the next month. Ten books are chosen for a poll, and members vote on which book they want to read.
Readathons - Several times a year we organize a readathon: a reading marathon. They can last a weekend or multiple days, and can be individual or as a team.
Buddy Reads - A buddy read is when two or more members decide they would like to read a book together and want a place to discuss it. We have around ten new reads each month, feel free to join them or propose another book.
TBR Twins - This is an activity our group does where you sign up, get paired with someone, and you and your twin pick a book to read together. We do our best to create pairs who like the same types of books.
Group Discussions – Let’s Chat! - This is the area for general discussions. You can also get recommendations for books, ask general questions, or just have a chat with other members.
Blogs/Vlogs, Events & Challenges - This is the place to share your Blog or Vlogs, share events, or host unofficial challenges.
Challenges - We have yearly, quarterly, and monthly challenges. Each challenge has tasks for members to complete. Members will set their own goal for each challenge and will strive, over the designated time period, to meet those goals.
Challenge Ideas for 2025 - Many of the monthly and quarterly challenges are inspired by our members' suggestions. Feel free to give us your ideas for upcoming challenges for 2025. Share your ideas here!
