Émilie (janeemil) | 7 comments Are there any groups in Canada? Also, how does the Digital Group work?

Sylvia Ward (sward7) | 32 comments Emilie - I have three people from Canada waiting for a 4th to join to complete a postal group. Do you want to sign up for that one?

The digital groups are matched into groups of 4 with similar genre interests. I set up a thread for the group in GR and they each work together to pick 4 books - one for each person but with input from others. Most groups read one book at a time and 'discuss' it using the GR thread, create a private FB group, use group messenger, or group text. It just depends on the preferences of all 4 members. And, these groups are not limited to any one country. Most are international.

The postal groups are limited to one country due to the cost and delivery time of international postage.

Here is the link with info that I need if you want to sign up. I'm trying to finalize groups so they can start in July.

Émilie (janeemil) | 7 comments While I would love to do the postal group, I don't think I will have the funds this year. I do want to join the digital group though!

Yes Sarah! I have you in a group with 3 others who closely match your reading preferences. I'll get you the contact info today - but it might not be until later tonight.

Hi Sylvia! Are you going to send me the group info in a personal message or somewhere here in the group?

Sylvia Ward (sward7) | 32 comments Sarah, I already sent it to your email address. Did you get it?


message 58: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Gibbs (sarahtrg) Ah! I see it now. I get waaaay too much junk so it was hiding amongst all of that! LOL. So this is the historical fiction group?


message 59: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Gibbs (sarahtrg) Sylvia - this is the digital group correct?


message 60: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Gibbs (sarahtrg) And is there a specific Goodreads/Facebook group(s) for this particular group or just the general one(s)?


message 61: by Sylvia (new)

Sylvia Ward (sward7) | 32 comments Check the email thread. I sent your group the link
