Vegan Book Club is more than happy for you to share and promote your books with us, but please use this folder for promotional purposes. It will be much easier for you and our members to use our group discussions, as opposed to having random topics created in random folders. One of my goals for VBC in 2020 is to become more organized and structured, and I believe this will help greatly.

Also, feel free to contact me directly at ourveganbookclub@gmail.com for promotional purposes. I will gladly share your books with our followers on Instagram and Twitter.

Gretchen Primack | 6 comments HI! I'm a poet, and one of my books is about the dynamic between humans and (other) animals in our time and place. It had a bit of a cult following when it was first published a few years ago, and a new publisher just reissued it with new art and a lot of new poems (including two about Covid). If you're curious, please check it out! It's called "Kind": ISBN 978-1-59056-639-8

Rachel Thornton | 9 comments I am very happy to become a member of this group. Thank you for letting me join. I am an 'indie' author, and self-published my first novel, The Panopticon Experiment, in Nov 2019. Unfortunately, because of a problem with the barcode, Amazon took it off sale for about 18 months!

On a future Earth, a genetic mutation has triggered an ability in most humans to communicate telepathically with animals. Society now reflects the new equality between the different species.

More information and purchase link can be found here on Book Hunt. https://www.bookhunt.org/book/the-pan...

I was intrigued and immediately found it on Amazon but there is no e-book. My eyes are no longer able to read print without discomfort but I read e-books because I can enlarge the print to huge size and that works fine for me.
I just love the cover design. Would love to read this book. Any chance of an e-book version? I too write about animals using telepathy but between themselves, not with humans. The one I'm working on now is about dolphins trying to communicate with humans however, so I'm getting there.

Rachel Thornton | 9 comments Hi Tui, there was a glitch with Amazon, but I think I've fixed it. The ebook should be available now (or very shortly).

Thanks Rachel. Will keep my eye open for it. i bought the Oryx and Crake meanwhile and am reading that first for now. Look forward to seeing yours after that.

Rachel Thornton | 9 comments Please remember this was my first ever novel. It has been well received, but after Attwood... Hmm. I just hope you like it. I intended it to be young adult, but in fact I think most of my readers are much older (up into their 70s & 80s) which, strangely, I take as a good sign. I look forward to getting some feedback from you. Meanwhile, I must complete the sequel.

Roni (nickie1013) | 1 comments Check out "Beyond Slaves: Owned and Used" by Nikasio Lopez Mendez. It's pretty interesting and dark and not about people. Hands down, a vegan activism book. Its available on amazon too.

Jenna | 1 comments Hello, I'm new to Goodreads and was wondering if this group is still active? Thank you.

Nebulous Henctis | 1 comments Offering a book called Miracles of Nutrition, Descending Eagle, to be reviewed. The book is Omnistic and includes information that has never been seen. It was founded on the Bible and it is absolutely about veganism. Also, the book has some slightly anti-governmental portions written in a peaceful, non-rebellious way. Before reviewing this book, you may want to know that. Those portions are on the level of not using guns to solve problems. As if striking a child for hitting another kid, then saying, don't hit, helps them learn not to hit others.

Tui Allen (tuibird) | 19 comments May I add my newly published vegan novel "Dolphin Melody" to the bookshelf of this community? Can I even do it myself? If not how might it happen? The main human characters are all vegan. The animal characters (mainly dolphins) are obviously not. There is a chapter called "Vegan Crackpot" which will strike a chord as the kind of scenario most vegans will recognise.

Lauren | 1 comments hello, i was wondering if anyone has read the bible and if so what are the thoughts on: Genesis 9:3: "Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything."

Jennifer (flkeysjen) | 2 comments This isn’t a free-for-all when it comes to eating meat, thankfully. When sin entered the world after the fall, humans began to kill animals for food. The world was in absolute chaos. God gave very clear laws around the slaughter of animals to try to mitigate their suffering. In Leviticus 11, God forbade the consumption of many animals. And throughout scripture, we see God’s care and protection for animals. In Proverbs 12:10, God says those who hurt animals are wicked.

The slaughter of animals in Biblical times, while very much against God’s order, was vastly different from today’s modern factory farming. Animals slaughtered for food today are denied God’s parameters and suffer greatly. There isn’t any way God is O.K. with the modern factory farm, and it is indeed “wicked” according to scripture. I don’t believe for a second Jesus, if His earthly ministry was happening now, would turn a blind eye to industrial-scale animal abuse.
