Historical Fiction

[close] A group of readers based in the Acadiana region of Louisiana.

[close] If you're looking for the perfect YA group on Goodreads, look no further! In All About YA, we cover pretty much everything that deals with the wonderful Young Adult genre. We have Book Talks on series, standalones, and nonfiction YA books. We have folders set up to define the many subgenres within the YA genre, and you can leave recommendations for other members in those threads. We also read at least one book a month with our Book of the Month read and our Series Reads. We have monthly and yearly challenges that and tons of things to talk about, so our members are never bored! Plus we have some awesome members, so come join us and make friends! There are folders available for YA authors to promote their books, and we even have a folder set up for authors called Read to Review, where you can send members a copy of your book in exchange for an honest review. As with any other Goodreads group, we have a few rules: 1. Treat each other with respect. We have a right to our opinions but please be kind if you disagree with someone. 2. No putting down members. We should all get along. 3. NO CURSING! This simply will not be tolerated. 4. NO CHEATING IN THE GAMES! This means that your posts are final. No editing or having someone else add or remove votes for you. If we find that you are cheating you will be removed from the group. Please play fair. 5. Please hide all spoilers in the discussion forums. We don't want to ruin a book for anyone! 6. HAVE FUN AND ENJOY YOURSELF!

[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. Please ask permission before copying and please give appropriate credit. The copycatting is getting ridiculous and tiresome. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. 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
