Collections

[close] Welcome to the Flappers and Philosophers Book Club. While the name of this book club itself derives from F. Scott Fitzgerald's collection of short stories, there are no limitations as to what can be read and discussed here. If you've read a book and you would like to share your thoughts, or perhaps start an interesting discussion around a particular topic, then please share! We would love to hear it! Everybody is welcome. _____ On the first Monday of every month, the #BookOfTheMonth shall be posted in the group. This will be randomly selected out of a list of titles. The discussion for this book will open on the first Monday of the following month, after the next #BookOfTheMonth has been revealed, so as to not spoil the book for anybody. If there is a book that you would like to nominate for #BookOfTheMonth, please message me, and I shall add it to the list.

[close] This is a group for collectors of leather bound books made by the Easton Press. I started my collection a few years ago and thought it would be fun to compare collections with others. There's nothing more beautiful than a shelf full of leather bound books.

[close] Hi All, Full disclosure, I am Mahmoud Suleiman Abdi Dualeh and created this group to allow readers of my works to discuss their thoughts here. All feedback is welcome, good or bad. Please note that I have been published in national newspapers, self-published works and had an article put on the front page of the university I attended's newsletter. but I am still an aspiring author. That does not mean that more or less judgement should be placed on me and my works. Legends, like J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown et al (i.e. the writer of Twilight series, the writer of The Hunger Games series and E. L. James), can be judged as the amazing. incredible and wonderful artists/authors/writers that they are while I would be scrutinized and appraised, if at all, as an aspiring author and writer (with the dream of being my own legend). Don't get me wrong; I want to do succeed as a writer for my family, friends, past, future and all loved ones. So please, judge away and join the group if you like!
