Childrens

[close] Welcome to the Young Adult Reads book club! This group is where young adults can participate in challenges, vote in polls, meet new people, and most importantly, share our love of reading! This group is private in order to make sure that this continues to be a safe space for everyone to discuss literature. To join, please answer the challenge question. It's short and sweet, and will only take a few minutes. I hope that everyone can find a good book through this group! ANYONE is welcome to join - all you need is a love of reading! When posting, please put book under appropriate catagory, and include title and author. Thanks so much!!!

[close] We read books from children's to young adult to classics. They are clean and appropriate and even if it is not a Christian book, we keep the values. We encourage book suggestions and discussions.

[close] Do you like reading middle grade books? Yes? Well, you've come to the right place! And if your answer is no, then stick around and let us change your mind! This is the perfect place to discuss your love for middle grade books! Here we host your buddy reads, readathons, month-long challenges, and more, so go ahead and dive right in to any of these events! Almost all of the events are open and do not need any sign up process. If you do need to sign up it will be specified. Note for the confused: MG stands for middle grade.

[close] When giving a book as a gift, it's often very nice to have a little something else alongside it. And it makes the book all the more meaningful and memorable when the gift fits to the story given with it. I have a particular fondness for out-of-print and used books. I think these make GREAT gifts, but when it comes to wrapping them up, there's always that consumeristic side of me conditioned to think, "A used book? Really?". Adding a very thoughtful extra, which could itself be secondhand, totally negates this problem for me. I also like crisp, new hardback gift and anniversary editions, which on their own make special gifts. But with that little trinket on the side, it elevates it to something very memorable and thoughtful. I will add my recommendations here - please add your own for others to share! Add a new book and a gift idea, or add your own gift idea to a listed book. (Authors, I would appreciate it if you don't promote your own books). For example: - The Wizard of Oz + "ruby" sequined slippers - Mary Poppins + an umbrella with a bird's head for a handle - Alice in Wonderland + a mismatched colourful tea service - Holes + a shovel ..? Well, it would depend on the recipient... XD Obscure books are fine, strange gifts okay - but please note this is a public group and try to keep it acceptable for all ages (or at least choose your words delicately!). :)
