[close] Here's a place to discuss out-of-print, forgotten, obscure, and beloved juvenile literature which you would like to see republished or digitized. There are so many excellent, imaginative, timeless classics that have fallen by the wayside. It's tragic. This is a group to share these titles with other readers, in the greater hope that publishers will take note and will reprint them for another generation, or simply because other users love vintage juvenile literature and would like to track down used copies. All books discussed here should have been written and originally published well prior to the year 2000 (and preferrably well before that - pre-1980s especially!). We discuss books from another era. Therefore, non-PC and dated content is likely to offend some people. We ask that users be open-minded, not quick to anger, and if they dislike something or feel offended it, that they deal with those personal emotions in a constructive and mature manner (i.e. by navigating away from the discussion they dislike). Again, users should act 'in good faith' and respectfully to all. But this is also real life - we won't be censoring global content to cater to individual tastes and needs. That bit is your part to take of. :) (It's silly that I have to say that, but here we are...)

[close] You sit down in your cozy corner and open a new book. What a wonderful feeling to get lost in a world where nothing matters. Share your favorite books and books you would recommend to others. Reviews always welcome.

[close] For those who like their reading to be of varied interests. If you don't want to meddle too much into the classics and don't want to be drowned under the hype surrounding the Gen Present's hot favourites.. If the interest generated by another mention of Hunger Games or Twilight makes you longingly look at your long list of to-reads that you just never seem to reach.. If you have a knack for rather unconventional, diverse books than for the highly publicised all time favorites.. This is the place to be. We'll cover the books on different genres, coming from different time frames, saying different things, depicting different emotions. Books that are neither too old nor too new. The feel good books, the thought provoking, the tear jerking, funny books, sarcastic books, non fiction, short stories, hard to understand. Whatever strikes you. Just pick that book off the shelf, the one you have been wanting to read but kept on postponing. Or just share a book which never received its much deserved credit & you have a group to recommend it to & share your views with. To kickstart, I've picked the book- Perfume-The story of a murderer. Happy reading!~

Here is a little about me: I set out on this journey with no publishing experience and a limited budget, but I was determined to publish a bookstore-quality children’s book. After months of researching the independent publishing market, I teamed with illustrator,Kevin Richter, and created my first children’s book.
