Create Facebook Group
Groups are suggested to be a close circle of individuals that share and keep in touch on Facebook.
Individuals often tend to create them around things like:
- Topics
- Books (consider it like a book club).
- Their business (sort of like an "insider's club").

There is no "Incorrect" subject for a group IMHO. Everything depends upon your:.
