You're walking deep into the dark woods, following the small glowing stones that gently light up the pathway. The summer breeze cools your skin, and you close your eyes to breathe in the beautiful scent of the trees. Sometimes you see a fluffy tawny owl perched high up on the branches, its beady eyes quietly looking down at you, and other times you spot a sleek red fox nearby, quickly running away before you come near it. The soft moonlight shines down upon the enchanted forest, and eventually, you reach your destination. In front of you is an old large tree, with a magical wooden door appearing from nowhere. A sign is written, saying: A Little Tree Hollow. You hear the light echoes of fairy music coming from behind it, and the delicious scent of cookies wafts out through the gaps. Like always, you give a gentle knock on the door, and the secret magical treehouse opens itself for you to enter. officially started on Jan. 19th 2022

[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.
