[close] Reading takes you places. Where in the world will your next book take you? If you love world literature, translated works, 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.

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 group is for historical fiction, historical romance (and related genres) authors who are seeking the support and advice of other authors or authors who want to assist other writers. Aspiring and established writers as well as beta readers and book reviewers are welcome.

[close] Beyond the Book invites members to vote in a monthly "Theme Poll" where the genre or theme is fixed, but the book itself is up to each member. At the end of the book, members are invited to share what book they've chosen to read, a short synopsis, and how their book connects to voted upon theme.
