India

[close] "For Indians /non Indians/Earthlings/Aliens, who have a zeal to read and are passionate about books" says the Creator of this group :) To add to it, this group is for just about any gentle, non-argumentative soul who is interested in anything Indian. Make sure you bring along a good sense of humor ;) and a broad mind. This is a democratic group,that wants to discuss books, make friends and basically just have fun. Moderators are here just to do some dirty jobs, so feel free to suggest any ideas you might have to improve this group. We started off as an open group, but then seemed to attract all sorts of rude, abusive disruptive elements. So with great deliberations we decided to make it a private group attempting to screen in those who are genuinely interested, and not those who join for promoting their work by hook or by crook, and those who are bent upon stalking vulnerable individuals. Accepting you here shows our trust in you, and you may reciprocate being an active, friendly member ;-) We are a peace loving group and would like to stay that way! Authors are welcome, but please try to stick to the "promotions" folder if you want to promote your book. If you are interested in answering questions about the creative process of writing and the anxious experience of publishing , there is a separate thread for you :) We have a facebook page too! If you know of Book-a-holic Indians who aren't aware of this group, feel free to spread the word by 'like'-ing the page :)

[close] Hello readers! You may be familiar with our cozy desi community that's on Instagram (@lillyslibrary) but welcome to our other cozy corner of the internet here on Goodreads! Here at Lilly's Library, we pick one book each month that's written by a South Asian author—from any genre, curated by Lilly Singh. All are welcome to join, discuss, and nerd out over all the desi authors and stories we feature. So take your shoes off and come read with us!

[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] A place for bloggers, readers and writers from India to connect. If you are outside India, and interested in books and Indian culture, please feel free to join. Your opinion is precious to us and we'd love to have you!
