[close] Can't remember the title of a book you read? Come search our archives and shelves. If you don’t find it there, post a description on our Unsolved message board and we can try to help each other out. 1. Please provide plot details (no spoilers) and the genre of the book you’re looking for in the Topic header - not something vague like "Help! can't remember this book". Someone is more likely to recognize your book. 2. Don't create duplicates of the same request. Bump your topic/thread every 30+ days (by posting a comment) -- or sooner if you remember more information. 3. Tell us what year you read or heard about the book. A range of years is fine. You can also mention when you think the book was published. 4. If you're searching for more than one book (or book series), start a new topic for each book/series. *** Click this link to CREATE A NEW BOOK REQUEST. *** 5. After posting a request, please come back and check if another member has found it. Check both the Unsolved and Possibly Solved folders. If you've found your book, post a comment to let us know. You can add "Solved" to your Topic header and move it to a Solved folder by clicking "Edit" on the desktop (not mobile) website -- or a Moderator will assist. 6. If you're helping someone find a book, please give suggestions only when you recognize the book or have a good reason to believe it's the book. 7. Please don't delete your original post with the request. This information may help others looking for the same book in the future. 8. To follow a topic/thread, click the "Notify me when people comment" link (on the full desktop website) or the "Topic Notification Settings" (on the mobile app) near the bottom of the page.

[close] hi guys

[close] "It reminded me of _____ but in space." "I read _____ in high school, and it was the only book I actually liked." "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 book club is for those of us for whom, if you're anything like me, one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on the classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to supplement our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it just 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 two books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us) 2) a "modern" classic or just a really popular book that is likely already on our to-read list but we haven't gotten around to it yet. Even if you've already read these books, re-readers are HIGHLY encouraged to help the rest of us amateurs navigate the best (or worst) of the best-sellers. Come one, come all!

[close] *Notice: We are now RPing in all times leading up to the stand at the barricades.* It is Paris, 1821. And the same as ever. French slaves, poor men, haul in the ships to the harbour, as ever before, the same people, same officers, same beatings... but one person has left, to become greater. The legendary Jean Valjean, a peasant freed from slavery and imprisonment after having suffered for 19 years. Six years have passed since then, and Jean has still not returned, having made and agreement to return after five years of freedom. Now a refugee, he wanders the streets of Paris, passing off as the mayor, a rich man. What made him so rich, I hear you ask? He stole from a priest. All his silverware he took, and when the people who had been hunting Jean and caught him red handed with the silver, the priest simply said he had given this poor man everything out of his own free will. And so he passes now as the rich Monsieur Madeleine. Meanwhile, in the slums of Paris lives a young a pretty woman named Fantine, left with a small child by her lover Félix Tholomyès. Fantine leaves her daughter Cosette in the care of the Thénardiers, innkeepers in the village of Montfermeil. Mme. Thénardier spoils her own daughters and abuses Cosette. Fantine finds work at Monsieur Madeleine's factory. And all this time, Javert, a well- known police officer, brutal and unforgiving, has not given up the chase for Valjean. His quote is, "I AM THE LAW." Valjean has come to the people of paris, the poor, the misunderstood, the abused- and presents to them a new form of hope. And such is the beginning of the bloodiest revolution France has ever seen. "The blood of the martyrs Will water the meadows of France!" "Liberty, Equality, Or DEATH." Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, this is our welcoming: "Bienvenue à la Revolution."

[close] NOTE: This group is intermittently active, but you are welcome to revive past discussions if you're currently reading any of those books. We read challenging novels that depart from the standard forms of narrative fiction. We explore various types of fiction including stream-of-consciousness, surrealism, nouveau roman, antinovel, post-modern, metafiction, oulipo, and other formal experiments that bend the “rules” of story-telling. Reading schedules are not the priority here. Instead, the quality of the discussions takes precedence. We’re more interested in your thoughts than your reading speed.

[close] I began this group in January 2015 to support fellow indie authors by featuring them on my website blog. Since then it has turned into a great resource of helpful tips, marketing resources, and just overall support for all indie authors. You're welcome to join our group as long as you contribute and are encouraging in your comments. Please note, in order to fully enjoy our group and make it the best Self Publishing Resource that it can be, we ask that you give as much as you take. If you want your books to be read, read other Indie Author books. If you want help, give help in return. This is how Support for Indie Authors can be the Ultimate Self Publishing Resource and Indie Author Support Group. Please take a moment to read through our Read Me Topics under each Folder Category in order to get a better grasp of our guidelines and where you should you post your questions/comments/etc. Thank you all and Welcome to Support for Indie Authors! Don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter by visiting http://www.supportindieauthors.com/subscribe/ Sincerely, Ann Livi Andrews *Riley stole this from GG because everyone asks this question.* Bookwhack: Think about bookwhack as bird droppings. Everyone is having a picnic. The sun is shining. The food is good. The conversation is flowing. Then, suddenly a bird flies down and leaves a dropping, ruining the day for everyone. Bookwhacking is doing the same with your book. Going into threads and dropping your book name or cover or blurb without being invited to do so. You fly over, drop the bomb. and leave. Sometimes you stay to add a short comment but the sole purpose of it is to make people think you actually had something to say. In other words, it's finding any reason to push your book in the face of people who were not expecting it.
