Hey everyone!
Over the past few years, I've been on a reading spree and picked up some tricks along the way that have been total game-changers for me.
If you're looking to read more this year, I've spilled all my secrets in my latest blog post. I hope you find them as helpful as I did! 📚 😊
If a book called itself a "Tiny Book of [topic]", what would you expect from the tininess? Physical size, page count, content – and where goes your limit for "tiny" in those?
Hey #readers and #bookclub people, if you like #reading#shortstories and #fiction episodes, please consider trying out my series. The first couple of stories are free, and the rest of the stories cost less than a quarter each.
Each story is discrete and complete, so no fake cliffhanger to trick a reader into buying the next story.
3 people in my bookclub really enjoy reading erotica. To each their own, it’s simply not my thing. My question, & I don’t want to come across as condescending, are there any books of this genre that are well-written? I get there will be a lot of gratuitous stuff, but is that all there is to these books? Years ago, another bookclub I was in read the 1st book in the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice (she wrote these under a different name) & I couldn’t finish it, I thought it was ridiculous.
Thanks to Fulya Gökalp, we can already announce meeting no.5, where chapter 9 of “Building reproducible analytical pipelines with R” by Bruno Rodrigues will be presented.
This month on #BowieBookClub we read ‘Darkness at Noon’ by Arthur Koestler, a tale of human pyschology under duress that makes a fitting conclusion to the Russian books that Bowie included on his reading list.
Our Book Club is a cozy spot for book enthusiasts to share, discuss, and discover amazing reads. Whether you're into sci-fi, non-fiction, fantasy, or any other genre, you'll find a welcoming community of fellow bookworms here.

Everything's fine, by Cecilia Rabess. He's white, rich, works in finance, has rich friends, votes for Trump. She's black, very smart, is doing ok but her career doesn't fly, has rich friends, mostly white. The book tells their story and it's all in the present tense, giving a feel of inevitability to it all. The story of how you can end up being in a relationship with someone who has very different views to yours. A story that is left incomplete, because how long can you go on telling yourself that Everything's Fine?
As someone who's being slowly finding herself, life's much better on the other side @bookstodon#CeciliaRabess#EverythingsFine#bookclub#books@kiarazard#bookwyrm@thestorygraph
Seeking recommendations for how-to on facilitating a new workplace reading circle for my team. First Q: I'm the boss. Do I facilitate? Do we take turns?
As context we're a very flat group, no one into hierarchical power differences, my ego isn't a factor. We have several newer staff (about to go up to 9, from 3 people in Feb. 2022) and we're 100% telework, want to build/maintain sense of belonging. We brainstormed long list, voted on what to read. #BookClub#reading#books#work
Recently, I asked for suggestions for a platform to organize a #BuddyRead or #BookClub style group-read.
I've set up a club, Crossing Worlds, on BookClubs.com. We're dedicated to #Fantasy, #Horror, and #ScienceFiction - genres that take us to other worlds.
The club is open to new members. We'll be starting with A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA this weekend, before moving on to A NIGHT IN THE LONESOME OCTOBER this fall.
