European

[close] For those who love Europa Editions, their mission and most of all their books! Here we can discuss the ins and outs, ups and downs of any of the amazing books they have published. I am up to close to 40 myself, and while I have not loved every book, each one brought me something unique and worthwhile. Topics can be book specific, region or country specific, or author specific or comparisons among books or authors featuring similar themes or topics.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] Group for sad boys. Books that'll probably make you sadder.

[close] Melanated Magic will feature an abundance of authors with melanated magic. Books will be a broad mixture of fiction and non fiction, YA, children's books, personal development and everything in between...… Please see the 'to read' bookshelf for the books that will be featured. The plan is to read (or listen to) a book every two months then share thoughts, feelings and topics and explore a few different methods of connection and engagement e.g. google hangouts, surveys nothing to onerous or homework like. There will also be at lease three annual meet ups scheduled in the Greater Manchester area and some trips to literary events further afield, but members can be based anywhere. Feel free to suggest any books. The meetups will be aimed at supporting independent businesses.
