Please see the newly updated rules here:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...


I'm doing a revamp of the group rules to make sure that they are clear and concise. So here they are for your reading pleasure!

1) Advertising & Spam:
Advertising your book, blog, website, giveaway, etc is permitted - provided you are an active member of the group and participate in discussions, and/or group reads, and/or challenges, etc.

This rule has not changed, however I am rewriting it to make it more clear what our expectation is. This rule applies to all group members - readers and authors alike. We do want people to share their information with us, but this group is for reading and discussing historical fiction... not a billboard. We will post reminders, delete threads, and remove users from the group as we deem necessary.

2) Be civil.
Disagreements and differences of opinion are fine and welcome, as long as they do not descend to personal attacks.

3) Keep things neat.
You are more than welcome to create any new threads you like. However, before beginning a new thread topic, please check to see if the topic you would like to discuss already has a thread. If so, please use that thread rather than creating a new one. Also, please choose the appropriate folder for the topic you would like to discuss. If there is a folder you would to see added, just ask.

4) Spoilers
Please mark all spoilers in any discussion topic or post. If you are unsure whether the detail is a spoiler, err on the side of caution and post a warning.

Elli | -201 comments I like them. I like the reinforcement that this is not a advertising billboard. And politeness reigns. Reporting what we thought, what we thought might be special, or that the work didn't set as being that great is quite enough. It's not to be a pressure group. Thank you.

Fine by me.
