This repository is and application for Read Your Face Off, a reading program FOR ADULTS.
Remember when you were a kid and the local library hosted their summer reading program?? Yeah?? Well this one is for adults only and is ALL YEAR ROUND. goodreads.com is a great resource for keeping track of what you're reading and what your friends are reading but it lacks the ability to connect locally, with things like Happy Reading Hour, and Sunday Reader's Brunch, and Beach Reading with Cocktails. Read Your Face Off will allow you to find reading groups in your area and connect with them online, create challenges and help each other meet those challenges, but more importantly to connect with them IRL! It's like meetup.com and goodreads made a baby!
