Medieval

[close] A group for those who enjoy reading about hilariously awful, tragically undertaught historical events and ideas. If your friends and family don't want to hear any more talk about corpse medicine, radioactive cosmetics, or the plights of executioners, then you'll find a ready ear right here. Both fiction and non-fiction are welcome; primary sources as well as academic studies. If it's interestingly awful, you're in the right place. We do prefer to focus on relatively unknown aspects of the past (for example, medicinal cannibalism in 17th century Europe) rather than well-known topics. That said, even the most familiar historical stories have some interesting nooks and crannies.

[close] Welcome to the Wholesome History Reads Group! This group is dedicated to finding awesome history books that are entertaining, exciting, and above all, wholesome. Occasionally, we may also feature a good film, or video. Please join this group if you want to find some great history reads. Enjoy, and welcome! *Important Note*: For those who are interested in suggesting books, please make sure you first review the "Group Rules" page for the WHRG Book Evaluation Rules. This is very important to maintaining the integrity and wholesome values of the group. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Note: ONLY the books on the WHRG Bookshelf are certified as wholesome. All other books need to pass the WHRG Book Evaluation Rules before being added to the bookshelf. Notice: OUR WEBSITE IS NOW LIVE! Please take a look and tell us what you think: www.whrg.webs.com.

[close] *Romance Readers who love Happily Ever Afters* If this describes you, then you've come to the right place. We love to chat about romance novels, humorous book passages (whether intentional or cringe-worthy purple prose), steamy love scenes, available freebie and cheapie novels, crazy cover art, questions about possible TBR books, and anything and everything in between. We give and receive tons of great recommendations and hope you'll share your favorites here, too. All subgenres and heat levels are welcome, but HEAs are pretty much mandatory. ;) Please note that our group is for readers of romance. Active users who are also authors who want to promote their books may post their promo in the specific author thread only. We aim for our refuge to be a drama-free zone, so please respect the group rules and play well with others. We look forward to chatting about romance with you! P.S. Please remember to confirm your understanding that there are promo rules at the time of your request. Detailed rules will be visible in the group upon approval of the request. Thanks!

[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.
