[close] A Book Club for Curious Minds All are welcome to join in—whether by reading the monthly suggestion or choosing a book of your own that fits the theme. This isn’t a club about keeping up—it’s about exploration, conversation, and connection. We read stories that make you pause, reflect, and sometimes smile. ✨ What to Expect Rotating themes: memoirs, social issues, personal journeys, reflections on life, and books that explore human thought and behavior. Thoughtful, curious discussions—never judgmental. A space to pause, share, and embrace the messy, beautiful complexity of the world and its people. Perfect for anyone who loves stories that linger long after the last page or leave you seeing things a little differently.

[close] Hello Sons of Norway members. This is a book club for Sons of Norway members and potential members interested in reading about Norwegian culture. We read about Norwegian history, biography, fiction, etc. Anything about Norway or our Nordic cousins is read by our book club. We also read a lot of Nordic mysteries. We meet once a month to discuss the two books we have read. One book is always something general about some aspect of Norwegian culture, history, etc. The second book is always a mystery by one of the many Nordic mystery authors. Our meetings are on the last Thursday of each month on Zoom. Our GoodReads forum allows us to discuss the books as we are reading them or just to leave notes about those books.

[close] I searched all over GR and I have yet to find a group of beta readers/reviewers strictly for AA fiction. Not that we want to exclude any group but AA fiction is not mainstream and the books may have different elements the author may be to shy to share (language, experiences, lifestyles etc). Possible Genres: Urban Fiction Erotica Romance Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Interracial/Multi-cultural and anything else I left out So if you need someone to read that gritty street fiction novel or the "I can't believe I just wrote this sex scene" book this group is for you.
