The World

[close] Let's travel to every Country in the World by reading at least one book from each Country every week in the next four years 2016-2020

[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

[close] This group is about connecting with all kinds of people that like to read. Also, you discuss about yourselves and the books that you are reading.

[close] Cosy • adjective Giving a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation. Welcome to The Cosy Bookish Corner! We have Tea, Coffee & Biscuits on the table over there - please take a seat! We are a little Book Club in the big Pond that is Goodreads, but that's just how we like it! We come here to make friends and most of all - talk about books! ☆ Why join? ☆ ✔ We have a Monthly BOTM program with a twist, and every month has a different Theme. Sometimes we push ourselves out of our Comfort zone and choose to read something we normally wouldn't, and sometimes we stay cosy and just read what we know we love! Don't want to join in on the BOTM, but you just read a book you just NEED to talk about? Tell us more! Tell us everything! ✔ As I said, we are small but mighty, so your comment will not get lost at sea, and your suggestions & votes will count - it's what keeps us going! ✔ We recently introduced a new Badge Scheme, which you can earn by joining in in different ways in the Group - think of them like Pokemons, "You Gotta Catch 'Em All!" ♪ So, if you love silly puns, love books, a short & sweet monthly newsletter (Also, did I mention we have a Facebook Group?), this is the place for you! Welcome and as always, Stay Cosy! |Instagram Page|Facebook Group|
