[close] This reading group starts on December 30, 2016. It is an attempt to wrestle with a selection of the best books of the past year as determined by The Economist magazine. They use eight categories: Politics and current affairs; Biography and memoir; Economics and business; History; Science and technology; Culture, society and travel; Fiction, and, finally, Poetry. We will read a selection of these books over the coming year - ideally determined by a monthly poll. The list is an opportunity to dig into a few selections one normally would not approach. 2016 List: http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21711295-best-books-2016-are-about-china-language-microbes-hereditary-power-inequality?fsrc=scn/fb/te/bl/ed/highfliers

[close] We're a diverse group of women from all around the world who want to chat about anything and everything. We are not specifically a book group - we're here to talk about whatever is on our mind - whether it's food, travel, movies, pop culture, random nonsense, eye candy, good news, frustrated rants, etc., we're hoping you will join us and add your opinion to our group!

[close] Book junkies welcome! Here Lily reads and reviews! Phreaky designs the book covers! A perfect match, wouldn’t you say?! Here you will find Lily with her crazy, wonderful and insightful book reviews and about her blog. You want a book read and reviewed for all to see, she’s the girl you are looking for, but you have to realise one things first, she’s doesn’t pull her punches. Lily has already written some amazing reviews on her blog and is growing in popularity with author’s out there. She is already amassed a large book reviewing list but still she is a glutton for punishment and wants more! As for Phreaky (Gemma), well if you are looking for quality and beautiful e-Book Covers, Paperback Covers and Web Banners, then you've come to the right place. She’s already worked, successfully, with a few indie authors and they seem to love her work. She’s open to work any genre! The cover is one of the most important aspects. The cover conveys what the story holds inside, without it, you can kiss your book's potential fame GOODBYE! But not with my help, let’s make it a success together! Lily will post links to her recent blog reviews, for all to see and any random/cute picture that takes her fancy, she has a thing for that. You can also find her here: facebook and blog.
