This is so great to hear! And I love your idea of mentoring others.

That's a good thought.

Thank you!

It's always been one of my favorites, but there's a natural lifespan to any conversation and I was sadly thinking that one had reached it.

I agree, and I did not close any threads that were not already closed. I just moved them into archive folders where, in theory, they might actually be easier to locate.

If there are new comments, red numbers will still show to let us know there is activity there.

Me too, but it is heartwarming to see a list of HI THERE! and WELCOME!

I was thinking the same thing about doing an introduction.

That was the first sex-with-aliens novel I ever read. I give it points for that alone. :-D

Look out, KJ Charles! :-D

Oh, a new-to-me author.

I have to figure out how to post photos! I've never figured out the trick on GR.

Oh that's wonderful!

Now adding the option of discussing song lyrics.

Finally a bit of potential competition for ACX/Audible. Bookbub is partnering with Findaway Voices.

Okay, I just spent the afternoon (*cough*) moving topics and folders around.

I've "archived" most of the old and no longer active conversations as well as most of the old book discussions and playlists so that, in theory, it will be easier to find and take part in current discussions.

(In the discussions of my own work, I left topics that related to books I'm working on this year.)

Some of the very old, very large threads in the General section could not be moved, but I'll try again later when the site is maybe not so busy.

I added a couple of new topics like Home Sweet Home (Antonella's request) and One Sentence (share a single sentence, good or bad from a book you're reading).

I did not archive the One Word thread, instead I turned it into the The Best Thing About Today thread because, for some reason, that seemed like a natural segue. :-D

I left 5 Things I Love because people seem so fond of it, but it's not hugely active these days, so we'll see what happens there.

I left a few old topics that I think could be popular again--Share Your Favorite Recipe, for one.

Any other ideas for topics?

This is a really useful thread as I begin to create more and more book teasers. Just sayin' ;-)

Share ONE sentence from a book (or magazine or cereal box or you name it) you're currently reading. Good OR bad. No comment needed. Don't forget to cite the book title and the author.

What's new in the world of books and publishing?

Our members live all over the world. We love knowing what it's like in your corner of the universe. Share a photo or tell us what's new--or old!--in your neighborhood.

This folder contains discussion threads that have timed out, but may still be of interest. :-)
