[close] Cosy • adjective Giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation. Welcome to The Cosy Bookish Corner! We have Tea, Coffee & Biscuits on the table over there - please take a seat! We are a little Book Club in the big Pond that is Goodreads, but that's just how we like it! We come here to make friends and most of all - talk about books! ☆ Why join? ☆ ✔ We have a Monthly BOTM program with a twist, and every month has a different Theme. Sometimes we push ourselves out of our Comfort zone and choose to read something we normally wouldn't, and sometimes we stay cosy and just read what we know we love! Don't want to join in on the BOTM, but you just read a book you just NEED to talk about? Tell us more! Tell us everything! ✔ As I said, we are small but mighty, so your comment will not get lost at sea, and your suggestions & votes will count - it's what keeps us going! ✔ We recently introduced a new Badge Scheme, which you can earn by joining in in different ways in the Group - think of them like Pokemons, "You Gotta Catch 'Em All!" ♪ So, if you love silly puns, love books, a short & sweet monthly newsletter (Also, did I mention we have a Facebook Group?), this is the place for you! Welcome and as always, Stay Cosy! |Instagram Page|Facebook Group|

[close] Welcome to the Roundtable If you enjoy books that ask a little more of the reader--and give more back in return--you’ll likely feel at home here. We focus on literary fiction, the classics, and nonfiction, and we’re interested in how different readers experience and interpret the same work. In 2026, we’re keeping things open and reader-driven. Our year-long TBR Challenge continues, while occasional monthly reads--organized by members--will explore a range of themes and interests as they arise. In September, we’ll also bring back our four-month, task-based Book Challenge. As always, members are welcome to start discussions--whether about a favorite author, a recent read, or a book that’s been lingering in your thoughts. This group is here for thoughtful reading and conversation, at whatever pace suits you. The fine print: We all have our guilty pleasures--vampires in love, celebrity memoirs, beloved books from childhood--and there’s nothing wrong with that. This group, however, is a space set aside for a particular kind of reading and discussion: thoughtful, well-crafted writing for an adult audience. Our focus is on literary fiction, the classics, serious nonfiction, literary science fiction, historical fiction, and classic mysteries. What we value most is engaged, curious reading. We welcome a wide range of perspectives and interpretations, and a strong passion for books is a plus--as long as the conversation stays centered on the books themselves. Please be respectful of fellow members and avoid personal attacks; lively disagreement is great, ad hominem is not. Because this is a private group, we ask prospective members to apply. A few words about why you’d like to join and what you hope to get out of the group will help us get to know you. It’s also helpful if your shelves and profile are visible; profiles set to private cannot be approved. If this sounds like your kind of reading community, we’d love to hear from you.
