[close] This group focuses on books written by or about black people from all continents in many different genres though we focus on historical fiction and classics.

[close] This is a literature club for anyone interested in getting to know more about Igbo Land (Biafra). Each month we will pick a book (via vote), read it, and discuss it by the end of the month. Within each month, we will also have patches of novellas discussions, short stories discussions, poetry reading, and we will discuss random topics relating to storytelling.

[close] The group is for Africa writers, readers and lovers of books by African Writers. It is also for those that wish to collaborate to create a Disney Version of African Animated Stories.

[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.
