Idea for new Forum!
Not only this, the forum can also be used to discuss books and authors which are winning awards in the international level. We can select some international awards such as Booker Prize etc and add sub forums for each award and refresh it whenever a new book wins the prize. This will also make the many users in this site aware regarding which book or author is winning the most prestigious awards for books and authors in the world.
Do post your comments on what you think about this idea and also if there are are any other suggestions.???.
Thanks!!!!

I like this idea.

I'd like to suggest 'best cover', and best 'lgbt+'.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
