Must-Join Facebook Groups for Christian Fiction Readers

Let's face it. Reading in the 21st century doesn't have to be a solitary hobby anymore!

We've scoured the web for the best Facebook communities for Christian fiction fans (the kind with real interaction, not just authors spamming the group) and here's what we discovered ...

​Why Christian fiction fans should join a Facebook group

There are plenty of great reasons that Christian fiction fans love Facebook groups!

1) Meet new friends.

When my husband was in Bible college, I regularly checked out Christian fiction novels from the school library.

It was an old-school system, where you actually wrote your name down on a little card to check your books out.

​(Remember that?)

I noticed that one other woman on campus and I were reading the exact same books. So I invited her over for tea to chat about our favorite reads. Over a decade later, we still keep in touch!
​

2) Find new books.

I have a good friend I met years ago at a book club.

We have such similar taste in books that I KNOW I'm going to love any novel she recommends.

Avid readers can sometimes get stuck in a reading rut, but all it takes is a few recommendations from others to make sure your TBR pile is full of new titles you're guaranteed to enjoy.
​

 
3) Connect with your favorite authors.

A lot of authors are in Facebook groups, and some of them have their own groups as well!

Joining your favorite author's Facebook group is a perfect way to stay in touch, never miss out on new releases ... and maybe catch a funny behind-the-scenes story or adorable cat picture as well!

If you're the kind of reader who's shy approaching your favorite author via email, for example, you can search them out on Facebook to get an inside peek into their lives and books.

Non-spammy Christian fiction Facebook groups you've got to join! 

If you're ready to find a new and vibrant community of fellow Christian fiction lovers, we searched the web for some of the best (and most active) communities out there and this is what we found!
