Romance

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ☾ Welcome to The Secret Bookshelf ♡ ୨୧ ───────────── ୨୧ Hiii lovelies!! ♡ 📖 I'm so happy you've found your way to my little corner of Goodreads! 🤍 I recently fell in love with reading and thought, why not create a cozy little space where we can all come together, share our love for books, make new friendships, and just have FUN?! The Secret Bookshelf is all about sharing your favourite stories, discovering new books, giving recommendations, creating your own reading challenges with friends from the group, buddy reads, and soooo much more! ♡ But here's the thing, we're not just about books! ☁️ I also wanted this group to be a place where we can talk about real life! Whether you need a little advice, want to share something exciting, have a question, need some encouragement, or simply feel like chatting about your day, you're always welcome to do so here. Sometimes we all need a little support or someone to listen! 🤍 Think of this group as our own little circle of bookish besties! A place where we can laugh, share stories (both fictional and real hehe), support one another, and build genuine friendships along the way. Whether you're a romance girlie, a thriller lover, a mystery enthusiast, or just someone looking for a sweet little community, there's a place for YOU here! ♡ Please don't be shy! Introduce yourself, start a discussion, create a fun challenge, ask for advice, or just pop in to say hello! All I ask is that we treat one another with kindness and respect. Everyone deserves to feel welcomed and included. 🕯️ I really hope this little group grows into something special, filled with wonderful people, beautiful friendships, endless conversations, and of course, LOTS of books!! Sending you all the biggest hugs and happy reading!! ♡ 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ📖 ִֶָ ࣪˖𓂃

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.
