Which are your 'Favorite' Goodreads groups,and how many have you joined?

[C., Group Creator]

I thought it would be interesting to see which groups that our members here especially enjoy. I have joined '51' groups.

My favorite groups are~
Clean,Non Religious-Reads
Clean Romances
Clean Reads
Cozy Mysteries
Fans of Amish Fiction
and of course Goodreads Feedback.

I like groups that are active with interesting conversations. I just recently joined this group and I'm still exploring all the threads, but it seems to be an active community.

I am also a member of the James Mason Community Book Club, which often has interesting dialogs going on.

I will have to check out the Clean Romances and Clean Reads groups, since I have a definite interest in clean fiction.

I started a Goodreads group I called The Suspense of It All, for people who love to read and write suspense, since suspense seems to always be a big factor in the stories I write, and the stories I most enjoy. Unfortunately, the membership isn't as active as I hoped for. :-/

I've contemplated "translating" my facebook group for Strong Women in Suspense to Goodreads, but so far I don't think it would carry over very well, since it is mostly memes and articles that I think would be clumsy to access from Goodreads. :-(

Hi Kristi, Don't be discouraged about low activity in your group.

That is the #1 complaint of all group creators according to the Feedback Group.

This group has it's ups and downs, as well, as can be seen by all the 'inactive' threads there are when you click on the topic 'Folders'!

I feel the same Desiree.I usually click on 'Home' which list all the groups with the most recent activity, and if I see a discussion that looks appealing, I jump in! :D

Oh my, hope you enjoy! :D The two cozy groups seem to be the most consistently active. I have found new groups just by seeing interesting discussions listed on the home page.

I pretty much only made an account on goodreads so I could join the clean reads group. I ended up joining this one as well from there, so I have joined 2 groups total. Before I only used goodreads to read reviews of things I was thinking about reading. I figured out that I could find out if a book had bad content in it by reading the negative reviews. Unfortunately I was getting continuously disappointed and it took a long time.

Welcome to the group! I hope you find lots of good reads from our bookshelf here, and from those on my profile.

I just removed my membership from over 20 groups, that I just didn't participate in, and/or they weren't active enough, or had very few discussions.

I also do not like groups where only books that have been group reads are allowed to be added to the group bookshelf, or only Mods may add books.
