Classics

[close] This group focuses on great books of all genres, especially young adult and fantasy. We will help you find your next great read, let you rant about bad/good books that made you cry or scream (we've all been there) and might even be able to help you with some life stuff. Feel free to talk about anything!

[close] This group will be discussing and reading books from many different genre's. Polls will be taken 2 weeks in advance of the month so everyone knows what books will be discussed.

[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.
