One LibraryThing, One Book

This group has become officially dormant. It happens. If you want to revive this group, or create a new group on the same topic see this page.

Beginning October 2013, LibraryThing is sponsoring a new reading group, inspired by "One City, One Book" and "The Big Read," and designed to bring LibraryThing together as a community to read and talk about one book a month: fiction, non-fiction, new books and classics.

Here was the introductory post on the Blog. Other One LT, One Book posts can be found here.

How will this work? Who knows. We're still talking about it. See Talk about LibraryThing to weigh in.

Our selection for November 2015 is David Mitchell's Slade House. See the blog post for details.

Official discussion for Slade House has begun.Members are welcome to create their own threads with questions about the book.

Slade House is a short read, so we'll be opening up discussion for the entirety of the book on November 9th, without breaking it up into chunks.

When starting a new thread, please make your title in the following format "Slade House: [Thread Subject]".

Thinking about joining us for this group read? Say hi in the "Introduce Yourself" thread, and feel free to post as you're reading in "First Impressions".

To help things along, we've added the ability to hide spoilers within Talk. You can hide spoiler-y text in your posts by using the "spoiler" tag. See the blog post for more details.
