[close] Friends, would you care to partake in a learned discussion of current events, the global economy, writing, selling, film, and reading? Then gift us with the honor of your sophisticated opinions, queries and humor on board our trireme of World, Writing and Wealth and sail the seven seas with us!

[close] Are you looking for a new book club? Do you love books from different genres? Then look no further than Book Thoughts. We launched on May 6th, 2026. We will share our current reads and reviews of e-books, physical books, audiobooks, graphic novels and more. We also chat about books and have some fun with challenges and games. You're welcome to stop by and say hello. Thanks.

[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.

[close] Welcome to Hellion's Unhinged Society 🖤🔥 Read dangerously. Create fearlessly. Question everything. Welcome to the wonderfully chaotic world of Hellion's Book Nook, where imagination has no boundaries, opinions are rarely quiet, and fictional characters are regularly held accountable for their questionable decisions. We're not your traditional book club. Hell, we're not even strictly a book club. We're readers, writers, poets, gamers, film enthusiasts, world-builders, theorists and creative troublemakers who enjoy exploring everything from fictional universes to the wonderfully ridiculous realities of everyday life. Here, we dissect books, review films, explore games, write poetry, create original stories, investigate fan theories, challenge publishing controversies, debate adaptations and occasionally put imaginary people on trial for crimes against our emotional stability. We celebrate creativity in all its forms, whether you're an established storyteller, an aspiring writer, a passionate reader, a gamer, or someone who simply enjoys a good argument about a fictional universe. Bring your creativity, your curiosity, your unpopular opinions and your sense of humor. Respect fellow members, credit original creators and mark your spoilers. Welcome to Hellion's Unhinged Society. Imagination is mandatory. Sanity is optional. Boredom is unacceptable.
