[close] This is a place for people who love Africa and a way, therefore, of sharing great African reads. In 2018 we're reading Africa by Region (read more here). We visit each region for a two months stopover where we discuss a book or two written by an author from the region or about the region.We are discussing all the books here. Keep up with our current activities and challenges here

[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 50,000 books cataloged by setting and more are added each month.
