[close] This is the new group for the Girly Book Club's Ottawa chapter.

[close] Come and join our group for new readers (or re-readers!) of Louise Penny's 'Chief Inspector Gamache Series', to discuss and read in the order of their original publication. This is a friendly, open group. There are discussion forums per each book in the series, and polls and challenges too.

[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

[close] Ce groupe a été créé pour lancer un défi à des élèves du secondaire : résoudre un problème réel à travers la littérature. Leur mission est de rechercher, analyser et recommander des œuvres (romans, pièces de théâtre, bandes dessinées, histoires courtes) qui ne véhiculent pas de propos racistes et dont les auteurs évitent l’appropriation culturelle. Les élèves devront développer leur esprit critique, apprendre à repérer les biais dans les récits, et réfléchir à la responsabilité des créateurs dans la représentation des cultures et des identités. Ce groupe est un espace de discussion, de partage et de réflexion sur la diversité, l’éthique et l’impact social de la littérature. Objectifs du groupe : • Encourager une lecture consciente et engagée • Développer des compétences de recherche et d’analyse littéraire • Promouvoir des œuvres inclusives et respectueuses • Créer une bibliothèque collaborative de lectures responsables
