[close] The ancient myths are not just stories of gods and men. They are tales of women who defy their fate, challenge their circumstances and fight to be heard. This group invites readers to see the myths anew, giving voice to the forgotten women whose stories have been overshadowed for centuries. This space is for all Goddesses Reclaimed. Join us in sharing and connecting over the timeless tales of Greek mythology, reimagined through the voices of the women who were often sidelined or silenced. These retellings bring new life to goddesses, heroines, and mortals, showcasing their strength, wisdom, and complexity. From Circe’s journey from a forgotten nymph to a powerful witch, to Medea's fierce determination to protect her children, these mythological figures are finally given the agency and depth they truly deserve in this book club.

[close] Whether you have no idea what to read, have run out of books to read, want to read books of a specific type, want to read books of a non-specific type, or just bored because no one will listen to your ramblings about the books you've read, this book club will solve all those problems and more! (insert cheerful advertisement music here) You can join as many different book clubs as you like here, and you don't have to be an active member to participate in discussions. Anyone can leave, anyone can join, any book club, at any time. The rules are very relaxed (actually I don't think there are any) and you can suggest new things to add to the club at any time by contacting me. Each month a new book that's appropriate for your book club is picked. It is then discussed by the readers in the forums. Then the following month, another book is picked, and so on. Please note this is not a roleplay group!! It's for discussing, reviewing, recommending books, and socializing with others ONLY.
