[close] We're here because we like reading and we like chatting about reading. But we are here especially because we strongly believe that reading is not just something we do alone, but something that can unite people of different kinds, all over the world! This group really is all about books! In terms of group reads we have a monthly fiction book and a bi-monthly group read of a classic. Quarterly there is a group discussion of a play, a seasonal author for poetry and fiction as well as a non-fiction - theme. We also have weekly poetry postings (the Monday Poem). We feature a yearly challenge and theme challenges in which members are encouraged to read books that relate to a specific theme, and dedicated sections for non-fiction, poetry and drama. In addition, we have a section for people to post their yearly personal challenges and books read in 2017. --------------------------------------------- January - March 2017 Our Seasonal Poet: poets from Nordic countries Our Seasonal Theme for Plays: Nordic Drama Focus Play: Creditors by August Strindberg Our Seasonal Nonfiction Theme: Nordic countries
