[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of ____ but in space." "I read ____ in high school, and actually liked it." "It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] The Africa Laureate Awards (T.A.L.A.) is a literary award organisation established to recognise and support quality self-published books and independent authors. It is owned and operated by Ayodeji Ajagbe and Oluwaferanmi Adeyemi, two friends brought together by a mutual interest in books and a clear belief that independently published authors deserve global recognition for their work and services to humanity. T.A.L.A. focuses specifically on self-published books, with the aim of spotlighting books that show strong storytelling, originality, and professional publication standards. To achieve this, the awards draw on a growing network of readers made up of individuals and book club members based in Nigeria and six other countries around the world. This approach allows books to be read and assessed from different perspectives rather than from a single viewpoint.
