New Goodreads Group w/ Light & Dark reads

[Emmett]

Hi Everyone!

I thought I would invite those looking for an active group to read and discuss monthly reads together each month.

Shine & Shadow

-2 monthly reads; 1 "dark" (psychological thrillers, speculative/dystopian, dark fantasy, gothic, horror) and 1 "light" (not necessarily light-hearted, but perhaps comforting, hopeful, compassionate writing)
-March 2021 reads are Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark & Moshi moshi by Banana Yoshimoto
-April 2021 group read polls are currently up

Take a peek and if you're interested, we would love to have you! Either way have a good one 😊

For anyone interested in joining April group reads, we will be reading The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson & On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong over in Shine & Shadow!

Indeed! If you pop over to the group, you can check it out and see if it is something you're interested in. Like a book club, but online...

This month we are reading Ring Shout & Moshi Moshi... next month we are going to read The Year of the Witching & On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.

Member nominations are taken and then everyone votes in a poll to determine the reads for the next month. There are threads open for discussions about each specific book 🙂
