[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] We want to read fun stuff as a group and do lots of buddy reads on the side. And we like to chat a bit, too. Friends don't let friends read alone:) Please note: One of the reasons our group works so well is that we are a small group of engaged members. If a member is completely inactive for 6 months and has not communicated with one of the group moderators, then we may remove them from the group. In this way we limit the group to those individuals who are truly interested in participating, and we maintain the environment that makes SpecFic Buddy Reads the kind of group our members want.

[close] We are 'Read Runners' - measuring our lives by pages read, books completed, and discussions had. Join us, if you enjoy reading - whether slow or quick, and if you like to discuss and put your points forward. We read a lot from different genres, and love to break out of our comfort zones and explore new books/authors through our group reads, buddy reads, and individual reads too. The single most important part of this group, its soul, are the members. And, we have a strong policy of respect for the individual and a zero tolerance approach towards bad behaviour. (Of course, thunder and lightning, and the hammer of Thor might strike you down as well!) Therefore, what we recommend is - Keep calm and read a book!

[close] This is a book club where we will share our current reads in ebooks, regular books, audiobooks, graphic novels and more. This is where we can all share our books that we are currently reading for pleasure. We'll do 1 group read a month and more. Please join up with us Proud bookworms as we read for pleasure as This Book Club Rocks! Note: This group is for ages 18 and over, thanks!
