Is there anything new or different you would like to see in this group? For example, if you listen to books more than read them, would you prefer to have a monthly group listen? This would allow you to comment not only on the story and the writing but also on the narration in audio books. What about a topic devoted to current cinematic releases of sci-fi movies? Or one about ongoing TV series?

Alternatively, do you have an idea for a word game based on science fiction topics? Or do you want a place to talk about your current non-sci-fi reads?

Let us know what you'd like and we'll see what we can do for you.

Feel free to set up a topic for your book, Joe. Alternatively, you could suggest it for the group read.

Kateblue This is not really a suggestion, and I have not really been participating in this group, but I found FREE SF BOOKS and I thought you might like to take a look at the websites. I have no commercial connection or anything. I just like books. Maybe you already know about these sites. Also, I could not find another place to post this after looking at the threads here, so I decided this would have to do.

Free library here Baen books. 72 books. It emails you a copy of a book. My Kindle copy of Bedlam Boyz by Ellen Guon seems to work fine, although it's in that format where it skips a line between paragraphs. Don't look a gift book in the format, I guess.

Also, there are links to other books that are not free.

https://www.baen.com/allbooks/categor...

Also, a place to download Jim Baen-related things, but it sent an iso file (??) and I got a warning message and so deleted. Maybe you guys are smarter and can figure it out better than I can. I can't even tell what format, although there are ways to change between.

Both of these sites seem to be heavy on military SF. Weber and Ringo. In fact, some might be duplicated, but I don't have time right now to check

And finally, here's a place to get a big amount of data at once, and I think for free, but I have not tried it. It appears to download cd or iso files. (whatever an iso file is). There's one file called "The Honorverse," so I suspect a bunch of David Weber's Honor Harrington will be present . . . unfortunately I only made it through the first few and didn't like them much--too bad for me.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how safe these sites are. If my computer starts to have problems I will let you know. However, I am running a Mac, and therefore, your results may differ!
