WOOHOO! Every week Goodreads features only a few groups (5) on the main groups page, out of 25k+ groups. A few days ago I nominated our group and we got picked and are now featured.

Thanks. I must admit when I saw the "nominate a group to be featured" thread (At Goodreads offical feedback group), I sheepishly nominated my own group. I thought we deserved it too. And we're a bit different than some of the other groups with our theme. :)

Excellent! Way to spread the message about Cozy books (and their writers and readers.)

Thanks ladies. I don't know what criteria they use when they choose the featured groups each week. There is a place in the official Goodreads feedback group where you can nominate a group to bring it to their attention. I nominated us last week and was surprised not only on having our group choosen, but so quickly.

Thanks everyone!


message 15: by Shay (new)

Shay | 408 comments Maybe it has something to do with activity? Proportionate to the number of members, this group is very active- lots of posts.

How they pick groups, I don't know. I only know where you can recommend groups and the only criteria I know of is that the group must be public not private. So I nomiated us. Now how they choose after that, I don't know. They wouldn't have to choose from the list, but can. If you've ever paid alot of attention to the featured groups, they usually try to choose a variety each week, so it isn't say 5 groups that all read romance novels. Otherwise, I have no idea how they do it.

Kaye (momgee) | 862 comments Ditto Briansgirl- you are doing a fantastic job. This group has been very active and there is good rapport between members. Maybe that is one of the criteria for featuring a group. Keep up the good work, you've made this a really fun group.

It's been long enough since the first time, maybe they'd consider featuring us again.

Chelsea (chelseaanne) | 2 comments I am SO glad your group was featured since I found you! I LOVE cozy mysteries and have multiple shelves for different categories of cozy mysteries. I also read other types of books but one of my most favorites are the cozy mysteries. I am looking forward to participating in this group. :-)
