The Military Experience: How it Can Impact Your Future

Thanks for adding me to this group. I look forward in connecting with others. I recently published my first book and new to this website.

Steven,

Hello!

Congratulations on your new book. My father served in the Vietnam era. I read several books on wartime and the American military in general in my younger years.

My book, The Red Texts Club, a sci-fi fantasy that was a five-star finalist in the Reader's Choice Awards, recently launched. It's free on Kindle. The link on Amazon is below:

I'd be happy to review your book as well! I'm at andrealonsldy@gmail.com if you'd like to send me the file.

Hello Steven, I ordered your book on Amazon and was impressed with your presentation. I have written several books in the same genre. I will also publish my autobiography, MY MILITARY LIFE, in a few months. That book has many similarities to yours. I look forward to reading it. You have glowing reviews. Congratulations. John J. McBrearty

Subject: Invitation to Explore & Review my Transformative Book: "It's Not God, It's You!"

Dear Community Group Members/Authors/Readers,

I hope this message finds you well. I am excited to share with you my recently published book, "It's Not God, It's You!" which I believe holds transformative insights for every Christian.

In this book, I delve into the notion that God empowers us with agency and responsibility, challenging the perception that every life event is solely orchestrated by divine intervention. Through personal anecdotes, reflections, and biblical wisdom, I invite readers to explore the power of self-awareness, faith, and personal responsibility in shaping our lives.

I would be honored if you could take the time to read my book and share your thoughts and reflections. Your honest reviews and feedback are invaluable and will greatly contribute to the ongoing conversation within our community.

You can find the book on Goodreads for more information and to leave your review: [Link to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...]

Thank you for considering my invitation, and I look forward to engaging with you and hearing your insights on "It's Not God, It's You!"

Warm regards,

Isreal

Greetings all.
I would like to introduce myself. I served 32 years in the military and am now actively involved with writing my memoirs, among other genres. I recently published the COMBAT JOURNAL book series, which is available on Amazon. I wrote these books for my fellow veterans, their families, and the soldiers and Marines I served with. I think the general public would enjoy my work because if I use military jargon, I explain what those specific terms mean so everyone can enjoy the work. I am currently completing a leadership book, a "How-to" book on writing and publishing, and my autobiography. They will all be published before summer 2024. I look forward to great things with this eclectic group.

Hi all, I am new to this group and this is my first book;
*Title: Tales Of Habib The Hoaxter
* Authors names: Ayoub Imilouane and Pamela Cox
* ISBN: 9798878265317
* Publication date: 6 February 2024
* Format: Paperback and Ebook
* Language: English
* Description: Here is a collection of 30 witty stories about Habib, an Arab folk hero who has appeared under many names for hundreds of years. Each tale contains a twist, often with the verbal knife, guaranteed to make you smile or laugh aloud with delight.
These fables will transport you to an exotic, timeless world filled with marvels and belief in marvels. In this world, whether the little guy wins or loses depends on how well he uses his wits. Sometimes cunning, sometimes credulous, Habib has a unique way of thinking that will enable you to see the world in a new and wondrous way. Many of the stories convey moral lessons, while others convey pure amusement, bringing laughter either at Habib's cleverness or at his lack thereof. Be prepared for an entrancing journey into "one day," an adventure that wil transport you far from your everyday life, then will return you to it with new and marveling eyes.

I was thrilled to receive an Amazon best-seller award this week! 'How to Reserve Your Place in Heaven' has a sample to read which can be found on Amazon. Come take a peek!

People are typically good planners. We plan for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, our children's college education, and where to vacation.
But as conscientious as we are, do we plan for our destiny beyond this life?
Do you have your boarding pass in hand, for when the time comes? With something as significant as eternity, we wish to leave nothing to chance.
I invite you to turn the pages to be sure you are making a choice you can live with. For eternity lasts forever.

Hello everyone, I'm Chloe Tang. I'm very happy to join this happy reading group. I think reading is a pleasure. When I'm upset, I can find a lot of inspiration from books and enlighten myself. I also think reading is a good habit. I can learn a lot of professional knowledge and replenish my brain. In other words, I think reading is like replenishing my energy. At the same time, I also like to meet new friends. We can discuss various topics and help us learn different knowledge, which is very helpful for us

Hi everyone — glad to be here.

I read and write practical nonfiction focused on discipline, emotional regulation, attention, and systems for consistent execution—especially for people who know what to do, but struggle to do it consistently when life gets loud.

I’m here to connect with other readers and reviewers, join discussions, and support others’ books as well. If you share a link to your current read (or a book you’re hoping to get reviewed), I’m happy to take a look and add it to my list.

If anyone’s interested in the kind of nonfiction I write, my book The Unemotional Worker (https://a.co/d/1G9dZBW) is about using standards (not moods) to reduce internal negotiation and make action repeatable—but no pressure. I’m mainly here to learn what everyone’s reading and make genuine connections.

What’s one book you’ve read recently that actually changed a habit or standard for you?

Hi all!

My name is Camryn and I am seeking ARCs to read and review for free! I am very active on GoodReads and am a quick reader. I was able to read 50 books in 2025, so my reading-to-review time is typically less than a week! I typically only read physical books as digital books often give me headaches. I love romance novels with my favorite subgenres being Why Choose, Hockey Romances, LGBTQ+ Romances, Romantasy, Dark Romances, and more! I only read open door romance novels as closed-door novels don't grasp my attention as easily. Some of my recent favorite authors include: Rachel Reid, Harley Laroux, Emily Rath, Elle Kennedy, Brynne Weaver, Sara Cate (multiple on my TBR list!), Rina Kent, Stephanie Archer, Sadie Kincaid, and Helena Hunting! Feel free to look at my page for more information and to see my reviews for the Goodreads Giveaways that I previously won (including an ARC). Please respond to this post or message me directly with ARC review requests!

Thank you,
Camryn

Hello everyone,

my name is Allen Dean Maiora, and I’m an independent author writing contemporary science fiction with a strong literary and introspective focus.
As an indie author, reaching readers is often challenging, so I try to connect directly with communities where thoughtful reading and honest discussion still matter. I’m not looking for hype or guaranteed praise—just readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction and are willing to share an honest review if the book resonates with them.
I’m currently offering a limited number of free digital review copies of my novel through BookSprout and StoryOrigin. There’s no obligation beyond reading the book and leaving a sincere review, whether positive or critical.
If you enjoy reflective, character-driven science fiction and feel like discovering a new independent voice, I’d be glad to share the links or answer any questions.
Thank you for your time and happy reading.

Allen Dean
