[close] We strongly believe that life means happiness and happiness means books. And what's more, we have room for everyone here! Slow reader, quick reader, young reader or old, you are more than welcome:) Join us if you love a good book, love to step out of your comfort zone once in a while, love reading challenges, reading with buddies, putting your points forward and random chat discussions!

[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!

[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 week. I personally started reading around the world in 2008. This venture has introduced me to far off lands, fresh viewpoints, and many new authors I might not have discovered otherwise. Here is a record of my travels since 2009: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18478768-diane-s-world-travels-by-book I have worked very hard gathering resources for others to use and coming up with new activities.

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 Globe Stand Photo: Daniel Loiselle/Getty Images
