LiteraryBee.com^© (The Literary Bee^©) was formed because a group of friends decided to start an online discussion about books they had read and enjoyed (or not enjoyed) reading. Currently, our members live in the United States and the Caribbean.

We read or listen (unabridged versions of audio-books will count for now) to one book every two months then either start posting observations, reviews, questions, etc. related to the selection of the month, meet in a chat forum, or both. Postings, reviews, questions, etc., for book selections have designated beginning and end post times. (For example, the posting schedule for June's selection ran from Sunday, June 18 through Saturday, August 19.) Chat sessions have designated start and end times on a given date.
