We will be will be offering one or more reading groups each month centered around books related to the monthly themes. We will offer them as events on Facebook and discussion threads on Goodreads to allow for discussions from anyone who wishes to participate on either social network (Note that you can log into Goodreads with Facebook). Anyone is welcome to read along and participate in the discussion (Please try to include a warning if you are posting spoilers).
We will start out leading the discussions for January, but we know that there are many of you who are also qualified as avid readers. If you are interested in leading a discussion about a certain book or theme, please let the moderators know your interest and what books you might suggest. We will use the suggestions to help select the reading groups each month.
We plan to start small with one or two groups, but if there is demand we can open it up for more in the future. During the selection process we hope to include a more in-depth book as well as a more accessible book, with some consideration of availability/cost. Inkmesh (Link) is a good site to find free/cheap ebooks for various ereaders although not all links work properly).
