[close] Ever felt that moment when you've just finished a book, but the characters are still inside your hearts? When you are yearning to know what happens next, but are stuck in a juxtaposition of endless possibilities? When you see an entire world still rolling out before and beyond you, but the words are just out of your grasp? When an ending leaves you stunned and stunted on your bed, wishing fervently you could go back in time and start the book all over again? If you ever felt these moments and want to share them with the rest of us, then this one's for you. If you have flown and sailed and done thousands of other things while sitting on your bed, then this one's for you. If you have had your heart beat faster and your thoughts come alive and whizz freely through your mind with the power of a single word, sentence or phrase, then this one's for you. If you are a reader just like that, if you are an explorer, adventurer or dreamer, if you have gone above and beyond and still stayed still... then welcome to "The 'Schrödinger's Cats'."

[close] Our Group has tons of Freebies that will give our credit cards a much needed break while also helping clear out the monstrous TBR piles we have accumulated. **The group is for adults 18+ as there are many genres posted and discussed**

[close] This group is for enthusiastic people seeking a different type of reading challenge. Rather than tallying how many books you read, keep track of what you read and how many pages are in each book you finish. It's easy-start a thread with your name in the title (and make sure to bookmark that thread for later) and then as you finish a book, jot down the title, author and number of pages in the thread. As you add books, also track the grand total of pages you've read so far. You can set a goal of how many pages you want to read in a year, or just see how far you can go. Best of all as Goodreads usually lists how many pages are in each edition of a book you don't have to join at the start of the year-you can jump in any time and go back and add up everything you've already read so far. Of course you are always welcome to discuss anything else you'd like-start a thread about it! And make sure to comment on others' lists if you're of a mind to. Remember to add your books to the group shelf and have fun! Bookworms! welcomes new authors-tell us about your book! However discussing the same topic again and again is called spamming. I understand if you have a book you want to sell or a story you want to tell. But repeated posts regarding that book or story when you in no other way contribute to this forum tells me that, sadly, you might be happier posting somewhere else.
