I got them added. congrats on your new release!

Other suggestion: click on members, and click invite. You can invite all your friends on GR.

The average that I've seen is for every 10 people invited, 2 join. It may not seem like a lot, but we have over 200 members, so if everyone invites 10-20 a week, that's significant growth for us in 2022!

This is great! Thanks everyone. I really feel like promoting what we are doing on IG may help our group grow significantly, which will help our authors even more.

I'm excited about this!

Finally, I created us an Instagram account for our book club. You can find it @self_published_only_club

Please follow and tell your friends as well. Some of you may even prefer interacting on IG and that's fine. I'll do my best to post our monthly and quarterly reads there, in addition to here on GR.

I’m new to the group, and in fact this is the first group I’ve ever posted in. I’m not an SP author myself but my daughter is, and obviously I am completely biased, but I think she’s ..."

This is the perfect place to post this, and I'll get it added to our bookshelf.

With 132 entries and counting, I wonder if there's any way the Bookshelf could be subdivided by genre. I can't help thinking th..."


It's a good point, and something I would like to work on. With the way GR is though, each book has to be edited, and saved individually to move, so it's a time consuming process, but still something I plan on working on next year.

Baby steps lol

Hey guys, I hope you're all reading. Remember, this group is to help support self published authors. You reading and leaving a review is a huge help, so be sure to get started if you haven't already!

Happy Reading!

Who's started reading Bitches To Witches

Love it, thanks Joanie for getting this going. Love that there was a tie too!

Our November BOTM is Bitches To Witches by author Ellie Aiden. This book is available FREE on Kindle Unlimited, and is also available in ebook and paperback on Amazon.

Ellie has also offered to do two different giveaways this month. (Details posted separately.)

Start as soon as you're ready, and post your thoughts on this thread. When you're done, please help the author out by leaving a review on Amazon and Goodreads. For extra credit, leave on on IG too!

I'm the one who should be asking you to forgive me for being MIA. I've been so busy trying to care for my ailing Mom, and get into a college in the rural mountains. Now, I fear I'm the..."

I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully that isn't the case.

Some of you may have heard that I had COVID this summer. It was pretty rough, and I'm still recovering. Joanie was gracious to step in and keep the group alive, and I can't say how much I appreciate that.

While I'm still ill, and staying at home a lot, I'm going to try to get us back in the swing of things with Joanie's help. We'll start with a poll for November, even though it's almost too late.

Thank you all, and forgive me for being MIA.

Every time I start to get better, I'm sick again. So sorry guys.

Joanie has agreed to be a mod with me, and I'll be getting with her this weeks so we can get this group back on track. Please forgive me.

Joanie, can you send me a private message. It won't let me message you for some reason.

That would be amazing, Joanie. Thank you so much! I'll send you a private message in a few days and we can work out the logistics.

I'm so sorry guys. I've been really sick the last two weeks and have been MIA. I hate that I ghosted the group, and that we didn't get to pick a June BOTM. I promise to get everything back on track for July, so please just bare with me.

This is another example of why I'd like to add another mod, so if you're interested, please comment here or PM me.

Hey guys, how's it going reading our May BOTM?

This group is growing so much, and our participation is increasing, so I don't want things to slip through the cracks. Which means...I'm hoping to add a second mod.

If you're interested in being a moderator, please comment below and then I'll start messaging people directly.

Thank you!
