rb.books

Charter / moderation notes

Charter: rb.books is the RootBadger branch for discussion of books, reading, authors, publishing, literary culture, collecting, recommendations, criticism, and the communities that form around written work. This branch exists to organize book-related groups into a clear hierarchy. Broad reading discussions may fit here, while focused subjects should branch into more specific groups such as genre, author, series, format, criticism, or publishing topics. Appropriate topics include: - Reading and discussing books. - Literary genres and subgenres. - Authors, series, publishers, and editions. - Book recommendations and reading lists. - Book collecting, libraries, bookstores, and publishing culture. - Serious criticism as well as casual reader conversation. Posts should be thoughtful, readable, and placed in the most specific available group. Spoilers should be clearly marked when discussing plot details, endings, twists, or major character events. Rationale: Books need room for both broad discovery and focused discussion. A dedicated rb.books branch gives readers a natural place to build groups without scattering book conversations across unrelated arts, recreation, or general discussion areas.
