Hello. These tutorials are helpful. Can you include one on how to find book clubs relevant to specific reading interests?

Thank you.

Look under main dashboard menu st "Discussions" (and "Book Clubs" aka an added option for discussion rooms). Same spot as " apps" in screenshots in this post. If trouble with menus the direct links are http://booklikes.com/book-clubs and http://booklikes.com/groups . The discussion room page has a search feature if the group used any categories/tags.

When booklikes introduced discussion rooms , many started up if you want to browse. The description should make genre/category apparent. At one time, the booklikes official one was good for bug reporting.

Caution: check the last date of any activity as many gave up due to very limited features although more were promised to make them competitive with goodreads groups (several goodreads groups even tried to have sister groups here).

Still very primitive, but booklikes did add ability to classify your discussion room as a book club. To make about a book. A few possible codes for thinks like URL links were added.

To be honest, I've had better luck just using tags for group reads, challenges/games and buddy reads and discussing on the dashboard posts. Myself and others, now that staff seem active again, are trying to do some more with groups, at least the find newbies one.

To be honest, I probably haven't paid much attention to most of the groups in four years; kinda gave up on booklikes making them more robust and just hang out on the dashboard.
