[close] Welcome to A Million More Pages. We are a challenge-based reading group that runs seasonal challenges centered around themes. January 1, 2017 until June 30, 2017 is our Journey Around The World Theme This adventure, should you choose to embark upon it, will take you around the world without all the hassle of boarding flights and catching trains; though it may require a trip to the library or bookstore! Mr. Fogg has taken pity upon you and provided cruise ships which will take you around the world in style as you explore the globe. During your time on board there will be opportunities for excursions and explorations, there will be games and fun, and of course, there will be a race or two thrown in along the way. Because what is a journey around the world without a race?? Our cruise ships leave port on January 1st, so be sure you have signed up for your ticket before then. Our trip will last until June 30th, so be sure to pack your bags, your passport, and above all your books! By participating in challenges you earn Badges. They are just for fun but many people like to collect their badges as a way to display their reading accomplishments. You can participate in as many or as few challenges as you like...it's all for fun. All challenges and games belong to AMMP/AMMP Game Night and challenge creators. Please do not re-create our challenges in any other groups without our permission -- unless you created one of our challenges. Regarding Badges & Trading Cards: We would appreciate it if you do not duplicate this idea/creation in any other groups. If you would like to borrow the idea, PLEASE ask permission and give us intellectual credit. This is a unique feature to AMMP.

[close] The Bibliophile's Brigade is a Book Group focusing on strange and inventive stories which drag readers in, head-first, to new worlds... examine ideas and spark long discussions which increase the knowledge of participants. “A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.” ― Carl Sagan

[close] Jan 2017 / Feb 2017 Group Reads - Now You See Me by SJ Bolton and Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith _ _ _ _ _ “It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky. Rain spattered a mysterious, hooded stranger who peered over the hedgerow at the darkened, quiet house.” Do lines like these quicken your heartbeat and pique your interest? Then Welcome to the Mystery, Crime and Thriller Group! This is the place for you. Join our intrepid moderators, “DCI” Donna, “Sherlock” Hayes, Nancy “Drew”, and “Cat Burglar” Bill as we read and discuss our favourites, recommend new authors and explore the Genre. This is the meeting place for readers to discuss their favourites and recommend new authors, and the place for budding and established mystery, crime and thriller writers to introduce us to their efforts. You can travel into the past to discover great characters like Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Maigret and others; journey around the world to other countries and meet Aussie Phryne Fisher, Norwegian Harry Hole and so many others; just relax on your couch and experience the wonders of Hercule Poirot, Lord Peter Wimsey, etc; or hard-boiled, tired gumshoes like Travis McGee and Kinsey Milhone. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonderfully varied world that is Mystery, Crime and Thrillers. Join us and have a great time! Your Moderators: Donna, Hayes, Bill and Nancy.
