Zaanodes | 804 comments Is there a group that does all genre series?

Steph (angel4492) | 32706 comments I'm not sure that there are any other groups specifically focusing on any type of series*, other than ours. But, there are definitely others that focus on all genres.

I did a quick search for ya and found these:

~ Book Haven (public): This is a group for people who enjoy many different genre's. If you are someone who appreciates a good book, regardless of the genre...this is the group for you! It is a haven for all bookaholics, and a place to discuss everything that books encompass. Enjoy!

~ The Ultimate Book Club (private, but currently accepting new members): Welcome to TUBC! This group is for the discussion and recommendation of all genres of fiction books. Whether you want to discuss books within your favorite genre or broaden out and discover new authors, we offer something for every type of reader. Whether you read two hundred books a year or fifty, we have a chair in our reading den with your name on it. :)

WE ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS

The best part about TUBC is you are given choices. You choose what group reads you want to read. You choose what challenge and activities you want to take part in. You choose your activity level so no pressure is put on you.


~ The Well Rounded Reader (public): Do you like to read a wide range of books but find yourself getting in a rut reading the same genre?

Do you want to challenge yourself and read new styles, new authors, and add in some classics?

Well then, this is the place for you – there are five different challenges you can choose from, pick the ones you like or do them all!

Join in anytime - you can include everything you've read this year, or you can start fresh right now.


Hope that helps. *Maybe you should start one. ;)

Daunting thought! No internet at this time (I use the one at work and work seems to always interfere).

Charlene I second that motion. Let's start with a vamp and shifter club and we can call it Fangs. Lol


message 6: by Charlene (new)

Charlene Or "Fangs for the Memories". Hahaha


message 7: by Charlene (new)

Charlene Or "Till the Last Death Do Us Part". Unless its a cat shifter club, the we can call it "The Ninth Death"

Zaanodes | 804 comments lol Only if you co-mod it!!

Zaanodes | 804 comments Charlene, did you get my response to your Kindle question?


message 10: by Charlene (new)

Charlene No, Z, I didn't get your answer. Whatdya say? I don't know how to make or moderate a group and I certainly don't have the book knowledge the way some of you do. Some ladies have thousands of books under their belly; I have so few in comparison. Do you like "Fangs for the Memories". I cracked myself up with that one :)

I saw your remark about carpel tunnel and e-reading, so I need to ask you about it. I bought my Kindle in January and have not bought a book since. I've read 30 books so far this year and t..."


Hey Charlene!

I apologize! I didn't see this!!

I don't usually hold the Kindle. I prop it on my legs, a flat surface, etc. That really helps with the wrists and fingers (arthritis!).

Does that answer your questions? If not, let me know!!

Got to crow a little...

That is my favorite!!



I don't even know how to start a group, mod one, or anything!!

I was saying you could co-mod it since you were coming up with all the names like you wanted a group started!


message 13: by Charlene (new)

Charlene Congratulations! I love the name Drake. Did you put a photo?

Thank you. Haven't gotten a photo yet.

Did I answer your question about the Kindle?


message 15: by Charlene (new)

Charlene Yes, thank you. I'm going to have to prop it up like you do. I have to stop holding it like a book. I love my kindle!

Congrats!!

@Charlene: LOL! Great ones!

Steph (angel4492) | 32706 comments You're welcome, Zaanodes. Hope you find one that you'll enjoy. If you two decide to start something up, let us know. I'd love to check it out.

@ Charlene, Love the names!

Congratulations! How exciting! Love the name. Enjoy the newest little addition to your family.

Congrats on the newest little one :)


message 19: by Zaanodes (new)

Zaanodes | 804 comments Thanks, everyone, on the congrats.

As far as the group goes:

So far I have not found a group that does all series regardless of genre.

I do not have internet personally. I use it while I am at work. I do not believe that I would be able to co-mod, much less mod, a group until I have internet.

Maybe some one else likes the idea enough that s/he/they would like to do it??


message 20: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32706 comments Sorry, Zaanodes. I'd jump on it, if I was knowledgeable enough and read more non-fantasy genres. But, if anyone else starts one up, be sure to share the link.

Thanks, Steph, for all of your assistance.

I will definitely post if I find an all-genre series group.
