[close] Reading takes you places. Where in the world will your next book take you? If you love world literature, travel writing, or exploring the world through books, you have come to the right place! ATW80 began in 2009 as a challenge on TNBBC. The separate group was established in 2011. Anyone can join and participate in the challenges or readings at any time. Challenge participation is not a requirement of joining. Anyone who loves reading books from around the world is welcome here. The main purpose of this group is to travel the world through books, experiencing new authors and cultures along the way. Want to read about the world? We have close to 40,000 books cataloged by setting and more are added each month. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Suess “There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.” ― Irwin Shaw

[close] This is a place for adults maintained by adults without kindergarden teachers holding your hand or curbing discussion. Conversations about all types of erotica and romances are welcome: from sweet to taboo, whether m/f, m/m, poly or menage, historical, contemporary or spec. There's room for political or critical discussion as well. You can engage in debate to your heart's content, as long as you stay respectful of the other.

[close] Shifters, Bikers, Vampires, Doms, Athletes, Pirates, Highlanders, Royalty, Rockers, Naughty Billionaires, Men in Uniform, and anything else with a hot twist. Welcome romance readers! This is an 18+, adults only group. Be advised you must have a public profile prior to submitting your request to join; preference given to those who truly use this site as readers. (Per Goodreads: Don’t join groups simply to promote your book. While we encourage you to join groups to meet readers, do so as a reader. Joining multiple groups for the sole purpose of posting about your own book isn’t permitted on the site, and will simply irritate your target audience.) NOTE: Should you wish to contact a moderator with a question or concern, please PM a mod other than Dawn as she is currently inactive. Thanks!

[close] Welcome to A Million More Pages. We are a challenge-based reading group that runs seasonal challenges centered around themes. August 1, 2017 until December 31, 2017 is our Tour Through the Decades. Sock hops. Flower children. Free love. Big hair. Grunge. Y2K. Hipsters. Come (Quantum) Leap through time with us as we visit (or re-visit) the best of the past half century. We've got all sorts of exciting things planned. "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." Well, at least there will be in our books! So, grab a seat in your favorite DeLorean, pick up a book, and get ready to hit 88 miles per hour! We will not be breaking in to smaller groups this time. Instead, we will have several team/group challenges that will last throughout the theme. These will be your core groups this time. Quantum Leaping Through the Decades Leap Across Decades (Shots) By participating in challenges you earn Badges. They are just for fun but many people like to collect their badges as a way to display their reading accomplishments. You can participate in as many or as few challenges as you like...it's all for fun. For more game based challenges please join us at our sister group Game Night
