Follow us over on Facebook and Twitter by searching TNBBC!!!! and also meet us over at tnbbc.crowdvine.com
As your humble moderator, I feel the need to ask you a few questions.
Are you willing to kiss all your spare cash goodbye? Are you easily distracted by independant bookshops, big name book stores, and library or used book sales? Are your bookshelves currently a little tight of space?
Joining this group is highly addictive. In a matter of weeks, your TBR list will be longer than you are tall, you will be wondering how the heck you walked into a bookstore for one little book, and walked out with two bags crammed full of new novels you never knew you wanted. Your bookshelves will be bursting at the seams and you wont remember what color the rug was as it will be buried under all the new purchases you have made!
We are not here to hold you back, or pat your hand as you try to be strong and cut back on your purchases. We will be rallying behind you, chanting your name as you enter the bookstore, and we will throw a book-party in your honor when you come back and share all the wonderful new books youve adopted with us!
**** If you are new to the group, and are an author, writer, blogger, moderator for another group, radio personality.. etc... please contact me by sending me a message before you post a new thread about your books, writings, blogs, groups, radio shows.. etc..
and also check out the Rules for posting those types of threads under the "Rules/ Important Announcements" folder.

[close]
For those folks interested in history, autobiographies, military history, British and world history, American history, ancient history, and other non-fiction books.
We are currently reading No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin and for The Presidential Series we are discussing A. Lincoln by Ronald C. White, Jr. Additionally, we have a long term discussion taking place on The Federalist Papers.
Our syllabus assigns a maximum of 50 pages per week to read of the spotlighted selection, so that everyone can find the time in their busy lives to participate.
Doris Kearns Goodwin has won the following awards for No Ordinary Time:
Pulitzer Prize for History
Harold Washington Literary Award
New England Bookseller Association Award
The Ambassador Book Award
The Washington Monthly Political Book Award
Ronald C. White, Jr. earned his Ph.D. at Princeton and has lectured on Lincoln at hundreds of universities and organizations, and at Gettysburg and the White House. He is a Fellow at the Huntington Library and a Visiting Professor of History at UCLA.
Just as an FYI:
The group does have some minimal requirements which we would like to share with any prospective members:
-We would like new members to post a very short intro on the Welcome thread and participate in the discussion of one selected book per year
- Also, please welcome new members to the group once they have introduced themselves; it makes everyone feel more comfortable
-Conduct both civil and respectful conversation
-Be responsive to moderators in terms of event notifications (3 this year) with either a yes, no or a maybe so we do not have to chase you down
-Be responsive to voting and polls
-Be able to post on any one of the threads or in the Off Topic Cafe at least once or twice a month
We welcome all prospective members who are interested in history.

Scent of a Woman's Ink

[close]
On the whole, it’s been a pretty good year for women in literature: Huerta Mueller won the Nobel; Hilary Mantel the Booker, Annette Gordon-Reed the National Book Award, and Elizabeth Strout the Pulitzer. We appear to have come "a long way, baby" since the days when Mary Anne Evans wrote under the pen name of George, Nathaniel Hawthorne declared that “[a]ll women, as authors, are feeble and tiresome”, and Norman Mailer wrote “[t]he sniffs I get from the ink of women are always fey, old-bat, Quaintsy, Gaysy, tiny, too dykily psychotic.” (Too dykily psychotic?) But the fact that women are winning major literary prizes makes it all the more troubling when women authors continue to be ghettoized in major newspaper and magazine lists of what we ought to read. Come join us to talk about women authors we love to read!

Oprah, like Goodreads, has created an amazing community of readers out of an activity that is very solitary. From shmaltz and sentiment, fabricated memoirs to Faulkner's, As I Lay Dying, come here to share the good, the bad and the ugly from her book club list, or from books she has mentioned in passing--a little bit of bling might be fun, too. Let's keep it clean.

On Fiction Writing

[close]
From the germ of an idea to picking your book at Barnes & Noble there's a maze every writer must navigate.
In this group, we discuss storytelling and the hazardous road to publication in its many guises from the standpoint of craft and technique. This group is not a showcase or an arena to promote our particular works. We seek to debate how we research, structure, plot, draft, edit, write, and rewrite our novels. How we format, condense, and prepare synopsis, proposals, blurbs, and hooks. And how we plan our assault to the seemingly impregnable fortress of the establishment: agents and publishers.
