[close] This group now has a Discord! https://discord.gg/QC8vCNfzKa I would encourage everyone to join as it will become a primary hub for book-of-the-month discussions, nominations, etc. Real Bitches Read Books! ;) This is a group for women only. Not trying to be a Bitch, but well... LOL! If you love to read, share book suggestions, do reading challenges & discuss some fun topics, This is the group for you. There is something for everyone! We currently feature a Book of the Month and a Book of the Quarter. All books are voted on as a group. We offer a lot of variety. You choose what you want to participate in. Participation is optional but strongly encouraged. Please see our Guidelines thread in the discussions. Happy Reading Bitches ;) NOTE: This group reads a WIDE variety of books. While the name is Bookworm Bitches, we are not a feminist group nor do we read female authors exclusively. We do not adhere to one theme or another. Variety is the spice of life, as they say.

[close] This group helps to bring Reviewers and Authors together! Reviewers can make their own thread to post their reviews in, or post their reviews in the relevant Genre folder. Authors can make their own thread in the Author's folder to find reviewers for their book. Please provide the synopsis of the book, and details of how to obtain a copy.

[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
